Global Hook Setup

Global Hook Setup

One-time setup for global Claude Code hooks. These hooks work across all projects.

Purpose

Installs 8 project-agnostic hooks that enforce DESIGN-v2 determinism:

• State machine integrity
• Git hygiene
• Learning layer (outcome tracking)
• Session checkpoints

When to Use

Quick Check

# Check if global hooks exist
ls ~/.claude/hooks/

Expected output:

verify-state-transition.py
require-commit-before-tested.py
require-outcome-update.py
link-feature-to-trace.py
markdownlint-fix.sh
remind-decision-trace.sh
session-end.sh
feature-commit.sh

Setup Steps

1. Install Hooks

~/.claude/skills/global-hook-setup/scripts/setup-global-hooks.sh

This creates:

• ~/.claude/hooks/ directory
• 8 hook files
• Executable permissions (chmod +x)

2. Verify Installation

~/.claude/skills/global-hook-setup/scripts/verify-global-hooks.sh

Hooks Installed

Note: feature-commit.sh is a CLI utility (not a hook). Use: ~/.claude/hooks/feature-commit.sh <feature-id> [message]

Settings.json Configuration

Setup script configures ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "hooks": {
    "PreToolUse": [
      {
        "matcher": "Write|Edit",
        "hooks": [
          {"type": "command", "command": "python3 ~/.claude/hooks/verify-state-transition.py"},
          {"type": "command", "command": "python3 ~/.claude/hooks/require-commit-before-tested.py"},
          {"type": "command", "command": "python3 ~/.claude/hooks/require-outcome-update.py"}
        ]
      }
    ],
    "PostToolUse": [
      {
        "matcher": "Write|Edit",
        "hooks": [
          {"type": "command", "command": "python3 ~/.claude/hooks/link-feature-to-trace.py"},
          {"type": "command", "command": "/bin/bash ~/.claude/hooks/markdownlint-fix.sh"}
        ]
      }
    ],
    "SessionEnd": [
      {
        "hooks": [
          {"type": "command", "command": "/bin/bash ~/.claude/hooks/session-end.sh"},
          {"type": "command", "command": "/bin/bash ~/.claude/hooks/remind-decision-trace.sh"}
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}
