Claude Code Hooks

This directory contains hooks that integrate with Claude Code to provide real-time code quality validation.

Available Hooks

typescript-check.sh

Validates TypeScript files when they are created or modified through Claude Code's Write or Edit tools.

What it checks:

• ✅ TypeScript type errors (tsc --noEmit)
• ✅ Biome lint/format errors (biome check)

When it runs:

• After Write tool creates a .ts or .tsx file
• After Edit tool modifies a .ts or .tsx file

Behavior:

• ✅ Passes: Allows the operation to complete
• ❌ Fails: Blocks the operation and shows detailed errors with suggestions

Hook Configuration

The hooks.json file registers hooks with Claude Code:

{
  "description": "TypeScript and code quality validation hook for Write/Edit operations on .ts/.tsx files",
  "hooks": {
    "PostToolUse": [
      {
        "matcher": "Write|Edit",
        "hooks": [
          {
            "type": "command",
            "command": "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/typescript-check.sh"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

How It Works

1. User requests file creation/edit: Claude Code invokes Write or Edit tool
2. Tool completes: File is written/edited to disk
3. Hook triggers: typescript-check.sh executes
4. Validation runs:
   • Checks if file is .ts or .tsx
   • Runs tsc --noEmit for type checking
   • Runs biome check for linting
5. Result:
   • All pass: Operation succeeds, user sees success message
   • Errors found: Operation is blocked, user sees detailed error report

Example Output

✅ Success

TypeScript Check:
✅ No type errors found

Biome Check:
✅ No lint errors found

✅ Code quality checks passed!

❌ Failure

❌ Code quality checks failed for src/utils/helper.ts:

❌ TypeScript errors found:
src/utils/helper.ts:15:3 - Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'number'
src/utils/helper.ts:23:7 - Property 'email' does not exist on type 'User'

❌ Biome lint/format errors found:
src/utils/helper.ts:15:3 - Unused variable 'response'
src/utils/helper.ts:42:1 - Missing return type

💡 Run these commands to fix:
  bun run format
  bun run lint:fix
  bun run type-check

Installation

The hooks are automatically registered when the plugin is loaded by Claude Code. No manual installation needed.

Configuration

Disable Hook Temporarily

If you need to bypass the hook temporarily:

# Set environment variable
export SKIP_TYPESCRIPT_CHECK=1

# Or disable in Claude Code settings

Customize Hook Behavior

Edit typescript-check.sh to adjust:

• Which tools to run (tsc, biome)
• Error message formatting
• Suggested fix commands

Troubleshooting

Hook Not Running

Check:

1. Plugin is properly loaded
2. typescript-check.sh is executable: chmod +x hooks/typescript-check.sh
3. hooks.json is valid JSON
4. Hook log file: ~/.claude/hooks/typescript-check.log

False Positives

If the hook is too strict:

1. Adjust Biome rules in project's biome.json
2. Exclude files in .gitignore or Biome config
3. Disable specific rules for certain files

Performance Issues

If hook is too slow:

1. Run only on changed files (modify script to check specific file)
2. Disable type checking for large projects (comment out tsc in script)
3. Use incremental TypeScript (add --incremental flag)

Log File

Hook execution is logged to:

~/.claude/hooks/typescript-check.log

View logs:

tail -f ~/.claude/hooks/typescript-check.log

Best Practices

1. Keep hook fast: Only run essential checks
2. Provide clear errors: Show exact line numbers and fixes
3. Log everything: Use the log file for debugging
4. Test thoroughly: Ensure hook doesn't block valid operations
5. Document behavior: Explain what the hook does and why

Comparison with Pre-commit Hooks

Feature	Claude Code Hook	Git Pre-commit Hook
Trigger	On file Write/Edit	On git commit
Scope	Single file	Staged files
Speed	Per-file validation	Batch validation
Blocking	Blocks file creation	Blocks commit
Best for	Real-time feedback	Final check before commit

Recommendation: Use both:

• Claude Code hooks for immediate feedback during development
• Pre-commit hooks for final validation before committing
