Project install by default; add -g for ~/.claude/skills/.

GitHub CLI

$ gh skill install parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 hooks --agent claude-code

Project scope by default; add --scope user for a personal install. Needs GitHub CLI 2.90.0 or later (public preview).

Manual copy

$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3.git skills-src && mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -r skills-src/.claude/skills/hooks .claude/skills/hooks && rm -rf skills-src

About this skill

Hooks is a skill in parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 (3.9k stars). Its SKILL.md is about 344 tokens, and copies of it appear in 2 other owners' repositories. Licence: MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d07ff4b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- npx
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Hooks loads about 344 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 7 tokens; SKILL.md has 62 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~7
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~344

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Hook Development Rules

When working with files in .claude/hooks/:

Pattern

Shell wrapper (.sh) → TypeScript (.ts) via npx tsx

Shell Wrapper Template

bash

#!/bin/bash
set -e
cd "$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/hooks"
cat | npx tsx <handler>.ts

TypeScript Handler Pattern

typescript

interface HookInput {
  // Event-specific fields
}

async function main() {
  const input: HookInput = JSON.parse(await readStdin());

  // Process input

  const output = {
    result: 'continue',  // or 'block'
    message: 'Optional system reminder'
  };

  console.log(JSON.stringify(output));
}

Hook Events

PreToolUse - Before tool execution (can block)
PostToolUse - After tool execution
UserPromptSubmit - Before processing user prompt
PreCompact - Before context compaction
SessionStart - On session start/resume/compact
Stop - When agent finishes

Testing

Test hooks manually:

bash

echo '{"type": "resume"}' | .claude/hooks/session-start-continuity.sh

Registration

Add hooks to .claude/settings.json:

json

{
  "hooks": {
    "EventName": [{
      "matcher": ["pattern"],  // Optional
      "hooks": [{
        "type": "command",
        "command": "$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/hooks/hook.sh"
      }]
    }]
  }
}

Questions about Hooks

How do I install Hooks in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill hooks -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/hooks in parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3) into .claude/skills/hooks in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Hooks in Codex?

Run `npx skills add parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill hooks -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/hooks in parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3) into .agents/skills/hooks in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Hooks in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill hooks -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/hooks, .gemini/skills/hooks, .github/skills/hooks and .opencode/skills/hooks in your project.

What does Hooks need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Hooks needs the command-line tools its instructions call (npx).

Does Hooks access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Hooks safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Hooks use?

Hooks is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Hooks use?

About 344 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Hooks?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Hooks: Hook Development for Claude Code Plugins (anthropics/claude-plugins-official, 37k stars), Claude Code Agent Development (anthropics/claude-plugins-official, 37k stars), Claude Code Skill Developer Guide (diet103/claude-code-infrastructure-showcase, 10k stars) and Plugin Settings Pattern (anthropics/claude-plugins-official, 37k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Hooks?

parcadei (a GitHub user) maintains it in parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3, which has 3,940 GitHub stars. The repository holds 141 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on January 26, 2026.
