+# Common Hook Patterns
+
+This reference provides common, proven patterns for implementing Claude Code hooks. Use these patterns as starting points for typical hook use cases.
+
+## Pattern 1: Security Validation
+
+Block dangerous file writes using prompt-based hooks:
+
+```json
+{
+  "PreToolUse": [
+    {
+      "matcher": "Write|Edit",
+      "hooks": [
+        {
+          "type": "prompt",
+          "prompt": "File path: $TOOL_INPUT.file_path. Verify: 1) Not in /etc or system directories 2) Not .env or credentials 3) Path doesn't contain '..' traversal. Return 'approve' or 'deny'."
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Use for:** Preventing writes to sensitive files or system directories.
+
+## Pattern 2: Test Enforcement
+
+Ensure tests run before stopping:
+
+```json
+{
+  "Stop": [
+    {
+      "matcher": "*",
+      "hooks": [
+        {
+          "type": "prompt",
+          "prompt": "Review transcript. If code was modified (Write/Edit tools used), verify tests were executed. If no tests were run, block with reason 'Tests must be run after code changes'."
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Use for:** Enforcing quality standards and preventing incomplete work.
+
+## Pattern 3: Context Loading
+
+Load project-specific context at session start:
+
+```json
+{
+  "SessionStart": [
+    {
+      "matcher": "*",
+      "hooks": [
+        {
+          "type": "command",
+          "command": "bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/load-context.sh"
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Example script (load-context.sh):**
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+cd "$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR" || exit 1
+
+# Detect project type
+if [ -f "package.json" ]; then
+  echo "📦 Node.js project detected"
+  echo "export PROJECT_TYPE=nodejs" >> "$CLAUDE_ENV_FILE"
+elif [ -f "Cargo.toml" ]; then
+  echo "🦀 Rust project detected"
+  echo "export PROJECT_TYPE=rust" >> "$CLAUDE_ENV_FILE"
+fi
+```
+
+**Use for:** Automatically detecting and configuring project-specific settings.
+
+## Pattern 4: Notification Logging
+
+Log all notifications for audit or analysis:
+
+```json
+{
+  "Notification": [
+    {
+      "matcher": "*",
+      "hooks": [
+        {
+          "type": "command",
+          "command": "bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/log-notification.sh"
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Use for:** Tracking user notifications or integration with external logging systems.
+
+## Pattern 5: MCP Tool Monitoring
+
+Monitor and validate MCP tool usage:
+
+```json
+{
+  "PreToolUse": [
+    {
+      "matcher": "mcp__.*__delete.*",
+      "hooks": [
+        {
+          "type": "prompt",
+          "prompt": "Deletion operation detected. Verify: Is this deletion intentional? Can it be undone? Are there backups? Return 'approve' only if safe."
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Use for:** Protecting against destructive MCP operations.
+
+## Pattern 6: Build Verification
+
+Ensure project builds after code changes:
+
+```json
+{
+  "Stop": [
+    {
+      "matcher": "*",
+      "hooks": [
+        {
+          "type": "prompt",
+          "prompt": "Check if code was modified. If Write/Edit tools were used, verify the project was built (npm run build, cargo build, etc). If not built, block and request build."
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Use for:** Catching build errors before committing or stopping work.
+
+## Pattern 7: Permission Confirmation
+
+Ask user before dangerous operations:
+
+```json
+{
+  "PreToolUse": [
+    {
+      "matcher": "Bash",
+      "hooks": [
+        {
+          "type": "prompt",
+          "prompt": "Command: $TOOL_INPUT.command. If command contains 'rm', 'delete', 'drop', or other destructive operations, return 'ask' to confirm with user. Otherwise 'approve'."
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Use for:** User confirmation on potentially destructive commands.
+
+## Pattern 8: Code Quality Checks
+
+Run linters or formatters on file edits:
+
+```json
+{
+  "PostToolUse": [
+    {
+      "matcher": "Write|Edit",
+      "hooks": [
+        {
+          "type": "command",
+          "command": "bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/check-quality.sh"
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Example script (check-quality.sh):**
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+input=$(cat)
+file_path=$(echo "$input" | jq -r '.tool_input.file_path')
+
+# Run linter if applicable
+if [[ "$file_path" == *.js ]] || [[ "$file_path" == *.ts ]]; then
+  npx eslint "$file_path" 2>&1 || true
+fi
+```
+
+**Use for:** Automatic code quality enforcement.
+
+## Pattern Combinations
+
+Combine multiple patterns for comprehensive protection:
+
+```json
+{
+  "PreToolUse": [
+    {
+      "matcher": "Write|Edit",
+      "hooks": [
+        {
+          "type": "prompt",
+          "prompt": "Validate file write safety"
+        }
+      ]
+    },
+    {
+      "matcher": "Bash",
+      "hooks": [
+        {
+          "type": "prompt",
+          "prompt": "Validate bash command safety"
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  ],
+  "Stop": [
+    {
+      "matcher": "*",
+      "hooks": [
+        {
+          "type": "prompt",
+          "prompt": "Verify tests run and build succeeded"
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  ],
+  "SessionStart": [
+    {
+      "matcher": "*",
+      "hooks": [
+        {
+          "type": "command",
+          "command": "bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/load-context.sh"
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+This provides multi-layered protection and automation.
+
+## Pattern 9: Temporarily Active Hooks
+
+Create hooks that only run when explicitly enabled via flag files:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# Hook only active when flag file exists
+FLAG_FILE="$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.enable-security-scan"
+
+if [ ! -f "$FLAG_FILE" ]; then
+  # Quick exit when disabled
+  exit 0
+fi
+
+# Flag present, run validation
+input=$(cat)
+file_path=$(echo "$input" | jq -r '.tool_input.file_path')
+
+# Run security scan
+security-scanner "$file_path"
+```
+
+**Activation:**
+```bash
+# Enable the hook
+touch .enable-security-scan
+
+# Disable the hook
+rm .enable-security-scan
+```
+
+**Use for:**
+- Temporary debugging hooks
+- Feature flags for development
+- Project-specific validation that's opt-in
+- Performance-intensive checks only when needed
+
+**Note:** Must restart Claude Code after creating/removing flag files for hooks to recognize changes.
+
+## Pattern 10: Configuration-Driven Hooks
+
+Use JSON configuration to control hook behavior:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+CONFIG_FILE="$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/my-plugin.local.json"
+
+# Read configuration
+if [ -f "$CONFIG_FILE" ]; then
+  strict_mode=$(jq -r '.strictMode // false' "$CONFIG_FILE")
+  max_file_size=$(jq -r '.maxFileSize // 1000000' "$CONFIG_FILE")
+else
+  # Defaults
+  strict_mode=false
+  max_file_size=1000000
+fi
+
+# Skip if not in strict mode
+if [ "$strict_mode" != "true" ]; then
+  exit 0
+fi
+
+# Apply configured limits
+input=$(cat)
+file_size=$(echo "$input" | jq -r '.tool_input.content | length')
+
+if [ "$file_size" -gt "$max_file_size" ]; then
+  echo '{"decision": "deny", "reason": "File exceeds configured size limit"}' >&2
+  exit 2
+fi
+```
+
+**Configuration file (.claude/my-plugin.local.json):**
+```json
+{
+  "strictMode": true,
+  "maxFileSize": 500000,
+  "allowedPaths": ["/tmp", "/home/user/projects"]
+}
+```
+
+**Use for:**
+- User-configurable hook behavior
+- Per-project settings
+- Team-specific rules
+- Dynamic validation criteria
