# Hook Behaviors and Automation

## Claude Code Hooks

This project uses Claude Code hooks for automated workflows:

### Available Hooks
- **pre-edit**: Validate before file changes
- **post-edit**: Process after file changes  
- **pre-command**: Setup before command execution
- **post-command**: Cleanup after command execution

### Hook Configuration
```json
{{hook_configuration}}
```

## Automated Workflows

### Code Quality Automation
```bash
# Pre-edit validation
{{pre_edit_script}}

# Post-edit formatting
{{post_edit_script}}
```

### Project Management
- **Auto-commit**: {{auto_commit_rules}}
- **Branch Management**: {{branch_rules}}
- **PR Creation**: {{pr_automation}}
- **Milestone Tracking**: {{milestone_automation}}

### Development Assistance
- **Context Management**: {{context_rules}}
- **Rule Enforcement**: {{rule_enforcement}}
- **Template Processing**: {{template_automation}}
- **Documentation Updates**: {{doc_automation}}

## Hook Behaviors

### Timeout Protection
- **Default Timeout**: 60 seconds
- **Retry Logic**: {{retry_configuration}}
- **Fallback Actions**: {{fallback_behavior}}

### Error Handling
```python
{{error_handling_pattern}}
```

### Logging and Monitoring
- **Hook Execution**: {{logging_config}}
- **Performance Metrics**: {{monitoring_setup}}
- **Debug Information**: {{debug_configuration}}

## Configuration Examples

### Basic Setup
```json
{
  "hooks": {
    "pre-edit": "./scripts/validate.py",
    "post-edit": "./scripts/format.py"
  },
  "timeout": 60,
  "retry_attempts": 3
}
```

### Advanced Configuration
```json
{
  "hooks": {
    "pre-edit": {
      "script": "./scripts/advanced-validate.py",
      "timeout": 30,
      "required": true,
      "environment": {
        "VALIDATION_LEVEL": "strict"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## Best Practices

### Hook Performance
- Keep hooks fast (<5 seconds typical)
- Use async operations where possible
- Cache expensive operations
- Provide meaningful feedback

### Error Recovery
- Graceful degradation on failures
- Clear error messages
- Automatic retry for transient failures
- Manual override capabilities

### Security Considerations
- Validate all inputs
- Sanitize file paths
- Limit hook execution permissions
- Log security-relevant events
