What it does
Hooks Automation is an agent skill from ruvnet/agentic-flow. Configure Claude Code hooks for automated coordination and learning
Its SKILL.md is about 810 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Hooks and plugins. The repository describes itself as: Easily switch between alternative low-cost AI models in Claude Code/Agent SDK. For those comfortable using Claude agents and commands, it lets you take what you've created and…
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Hooks and plugins
Example prompts
- “/hooks-automation”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Node.js
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Keep hooks fast: <100ms for interactive experience
- Use timeout: Prevent hanging hooks
- Handle failures gracefully: Use || true for optional hooks
- Log metrics: Track for optimization
- Test hooks: Verify before deployment
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e993605. 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 Automation loads about 810 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 147 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 147 words (~810 tokens).
“Configure intelligent hooks for automated coordination, formatting, and learning.”
