Its official README describes it as a CLI that generates `.claude/settings.json` hook configuration and typed TypeScript handler files for Claude Code lifecycle events. ### Project history The npm package was first published in July 2025, after Claude Code's hook system had become a documented extension point. The project focuses on one friction point in that system: turning JSON hook payloads and shell-command handlers into a typed TypeScript development environment. The README documents generated files under `.claude/hooks/`, including `index.ts`, `lib.ts`, and `session.ts`, plus `.claude/settings.json`. It also requires Node.js 18+ for the CLI and Bun for running hooks. ### Adoption history Distribution is source-backed through npm and Homebrew. The npm registry records 32 versions and published version 2.4.0, while Homebrew packages the same 2.4.0 release from the npm registry. The evidence supports a niche but clear role: claude-hooks is not a general Claude Code replacement; it is a helper for users who are already adopting Claude Code's official hook lifecycle and want TypeScript types and scaffolding. ### How it is used Users run `npx claude-hooks` or install it globally with npm, then run `claude-hooks`. The tool creates Claude Code hook configuration and TypeScript handlers that can inspect typed payloads for events such as PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Notification, and Stop. The official Claude Code hooks reference documents the underlying event model, including command, HTTP, prompt, and MCP hooks, matcher groups, JSON stdin payloads, and hook decisions. claude-hooks builds on that official mechanism. ### Why package nerds care claude-hooks is package-nerd interesting because it packages a type layer around an AI-agent lifecycle API. Instead of every team copying shell scripts and JSON snippets, it gives the hook surface a generated project structure and a package-manager install path. It also shows how fast companion packages formed around Claude Code's configuration files: the package's value is not the hook runtime itself, but the typed developer experience around an official extension point. ### Timeline - 2025-07: npm registry records the first `claude-hooks` publication. - 2025-08: npm registry records published version 2.4.0 after 32 published versions. - 2026: Homebrew formula `claude-hooks` packages version 2.4.0 from the npm registry. ### Related projects - Claude Code's official hooks system is the extension point claude-hooks configures. - Bun is required by the README for running generated hooks. - TypeScript is the language layer used for typed payloads and handlers. - claude-cmd and Claude Code Templates are related Claude Code configuration companion tools. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
