+ # Lesson 7: Hooks System
2
+
3
+ Automate quality checks and enforce workflows before and after Claude Code actions.
4
+
5
+ ## Concept
6
+
7
+ Hooks are scripts that run automatically at specific lifecycle events:
8
+
9
+ | Hook Type | When It Runs | Use Cases |
10
+ |-----------|--------------|-----------|
11
+ | **UserPromptSubmit** | When user sends a message | Real-time correction detection, intent analysis |
12
+ | **PreToolUse** | Before a tool executes | Block dangerous operations, validate inputs, credential scanning |
13
+ | **PostToolUse** | After a tool completes | Auto-format code, run type checks, warn about issues |
14
+ | **Stop** | When Claude response ends | Final validation before user sees result |
15
+ | **SessionStart** | When session begins | Load context, detect environment |
16
+ | **SessionEnd** | When session closes | Persist state, capture patterns |
17
+ | **PreCompact** | Before context compaction | Save important state before memory trim |
18
+
19
+ ## Why This Matters
20
+
21
+ Without hooks, you must manually:
22
+ - Check for credentials before every edit
23
+ - Run Prettier after every file change
24
+ - Verify TypeScript after every `.ts` modification
25
+ - Remember to save session state
26
+
27
+ Hooks automate these guardrails, making quality enforcement invisible.
28
+
29
+ ## Current Hooks in This System
30
+
31
+ The system includes these production hooks in `hooks/hooks.json`:
32
+
33
+ ### UserPromptSubmit Hook (Real-Time Learning)
34
+
35
+ | Hook | What It Does | Trigger |
36
+ |------|--------------|---------|
37
+ | **Prompt Analyzer** | Detects corrections and learning opportunities in your messages | Every user message |
38
+
39
+ This hook powers the system's **real-time learning**. When you say things like "no, actually use X instead", the prompt analyzer:
40
+ 1. Detects the correction pattern
41
+ 2. Extracts what was wrong vs. what's right
42
+ 3. Records it in session memory
43
+ 4. After 2+ occurrences, it becomes a persistent learned pattern
44
+
45
+ ### PreToolUse Hooks (Before Actions)
46
+
47
+ | Hook | What It Does | Trigger |
48
+ |------|--------------|---------|
49
+ | **Credential Check** | Scans for hardcoded Zoho/GCP credentials | Edit/Write operations |
50
+ | **Tmux Reminder** | Suggests tmux for long-running commands | npm install, docker, pytest, etc. |
51
+ | **Dev Server Block** | BLOCKS dev servers outside tmux | `npm run dev` and variants |
52
+ | **Git Push Review** | Reminds to review before push | `git push` commands |
53
+ | **Doc Blocker** | BLOCKS random .md file creation | Write to non-README .md files |
54
+ | **Suggest Compact** | Suggests context compaction at intervals | Edit/Write operations |
55
+
56
+ ### PostToolUse Hooks (After Actions)
57
+
58
+ | Hook | What It Does | Trigger |
59
+ |------|--------------|---------|
60
+ | **PR Logger** | Logs PR URL and provides review command | After `gh pr create` |
61
+ | **Prettier Format** | Auto-formats JS/TS files | After editing .js/.jsx/.ts/.tsx |
62
+ | **TypeScript Check** | Runs `tsc --noEmit` and reports errors | After editing .ts/.tsx |
63
+ | **Console.log Warning** | Warns about console.log in code | After editing JS/TS files |
64
+
65
+ ### Stop Hook (End of Response)
66
+
67
+ | Hook | What It Does | Trigger |
68
+ |------|--------------|---------|
69
+ | **Console.log Audit** | Checks all modified files for console.log | Every response |
70
+
71
+ ### Session Hooks (Lifecycle)
72
+
73
+ | Hook | What It Does | Trigger |
74
+ |------|--------------|---------|
75
+ | **SessionStart** | Loads previous context, detects package manager | New session |
76
+ | **SessionEnd** | Persists session state | Session closes |
77
+ | **Evaluate Session** | Extracts reusable patterns from work | Session closes |
78
+ | **PreCompact** | Saves state before compaction | Before memory trim |
79
+
80
+ ## Hook Configuration Format
81
+
82
+ Hooks are defined in `hooks/hooks.json` with this structure:
83
+
84
+ ```json
85
+ {
86
+ "hooks": {
87
+ "PreToolUse": [
88
+ {
89
+ "matcher": "tool == \"Edit\" || tool == \"Write\"",
90
+ "hooks": [
91
+ {
92
+ "type": "command",
93
+ "command": "node scripts/hooks/credential-check.js"
94
+ }
95
+ ],
96
+ "description": "Scan for hardcoded credentials in edits"
97
+ }
98
+ ]
99
+ }
100
+ }
101
+ ```
102
+
103
+ ### Matcher Syntax
104
+
105
+ Matchers are expressions that determine when a hook runs:
106
+
107
+ | Matcher | Meaning |
108
+ |---------|---------|
109
+ | `*` | Always run |
110
+ | `tool == "Edit"` | Only on Edit tool |
111
+ | `tool == "Bash" && tool_input.command matches "git push"` | Bash with specific command |
112
+ | `tool_input.file_path matches "\\.ts$"` | Files ending in .ts |
113
+
114
+ ### Hook Types
115
+
116
+ | Type | Description |
117
+ |------|-------------|
118
+ | `command` | Run a shell command |
119
+
120
+ The command receives tool input via stdin (JSON) and outputs modified JSON via stdout.
121
+
122
+ ## Exercise
123
+
124
+ ### Exercise 7.1: Examine Hook Configuration
125
+
126
+ **Step 1**: View the hooks configuration:
127
+ ```bash
128
+ cat hooks/hooks.json
129
+ ```
130
+
131
+ **Step 2**: Count the hooks:
132
+ - How many PreToolUse hooks?
133
+ - How many PostToolUse hooks?
134
+ - What session hooks exist?
135
+
136
+ ### Exercise 7.2: See a Hook in Action
137
+
138
+ **Step 1**: Create a test TypeScript file with an issue:
139
+ ```typescript
140
+ // Create: test-hook.ts
141
+ const x = 1;
142
+ console.log(x);
143
+ ```
144
+
145
+ **Step 2**: When you edit a TypeScript file, observe the PostToolUse hooks fire:
146
+ 1. Prettier formats the file
147
+ 2. TypeScript check runs
148
+ 3. Console.log warning appears
149
+
150
+ **Step 3**: Notice how you didn't have to run these manually - hooks automated it.
151
+
152
+ ### Exercise 7.3: Understanding Hook Scripts
153
+
154
+ **Step 1**: View a hook script:
155
+ ```bash
156
+ cat scripts/hooks/credential-check.js
157
+ ```
158
+
159
+ **What to observe:**
160
+ - Scripts receive tool input via stdin (JSON)
161
+ - Scripts output modified JSON via stdout
162
+ - Scripts can `process.exit(1)` to BLOCK the operation
163
+ - Scripts log to stderr for user visibility
164
+
165
+ ### Exercise 7.4: Blocking vs. Warning Hooks
166
+
167
+ Some hooks BLOCK operations (exit code 1), others just WARN:
168
+
169
+ | Hook | Behavior |
170
+ |------|----------|
171
+ | Credential Check | BLOCKS if secrets found |
172
+ | Dev Server Block | BLOCKS outside tmux |
173
+ | Doc Blocker | BLOCKS random .md files |
174
+ | Console.log Warning | WARNS but allows |
175
+ | Tmux Reminder | WARNS but allows |
176
+
177
+ ## Verification
178
+
179
+ You've completed this exercise successfully if:
180
+ - [ ] You found `hooks/hooks.json` and understand its structure
181
+ - [ ] You know the 6 hook lifecycle events
182
+ - [ ] You saw hooks fire when editing a file
183
+ - [ ] You understand the difference between blocking and warning hooks
184
+
185
+ ## Creating Custom Hooks
186
+
187
+ To add a custom hook:
188
+
189
+ **Step 1**: Create script in `scripts/hooks/your-hook.js`:
190
+ ```javascript
191
+ #!/usr/bin/env node
192
+ let data = '';
193
+ process.stdin.on('data', chunk => data += chunk);
194
+ process.stdin.on('end', () => {
195
+ const input = JSON.parse(data);
196
+
197
+ // Your validation logic
198
+ if (somethingBad) {
199
+ console.error('[Hook] BLOCKED: Reason');
200
+ process.exit(1); // Block the operation
201
+ }
202
+
203
+ // Pass through the data
204
+ console.log(data);
205
+ });
206
+ ```
207
+
208
+ **Step 2**: Add entry to `hooks/hooks.json`:
209
+ ```json
210
+ {
211
+ "matcher": "tool == \"Bash\" && tool_input.command matches \"deploy\"",
212
+ "hooks": [
213
+ {
214
+ "type": "command",
215
+ "command": "node scripts/hooks/your-hook.js"
216
+ }
217
+ ],
218
+ "description": "What this hook does"
219
+ }
220
+ ```
221
+
222
+ **Step 3**: Restart Claude Code session for hooks to load.
223
+
224
+ ### Example: Block Commits on Friday Afternoons
225
+
226
+ ```json
227
+ {
228
+ "matcher": "tool == \"Bash\" && tool_input.command matches \"git commit\"",
229
+ "hooks": [
230
+ {
231
+ "type": "command",
232
+ "command": "node -e \"const d=new Date();if(d.getDay()===5&&d.getHours()>=14){console.error('[Hook] BLOCKED: No commits after 2pm Friday!');process.exit(1)}\""
233
+ }
234
+ ],
235
+ "description": "Prevent Friday afternoon commits (you'll thank yourself)"
236
+ }
237
+ ```
238
+
239
+ ## Key Takeaway
240
+
241
+ Hooks are invisible guardrails. They enforce quality standards without requiring manual intervention. The system includes 12+ production hooks that:
242
+ - Scan for secrets before edits
243
+ - Auto-format code after changes
244
+ - Catch TypeScript errors immediately
245
+ - Persist context across sessions
246
+
247
+ You don't run these manually - they just work.
248
+
249
+ ## Hooks Quick Reference
250
+
251
+ ```
252
+ BLOCKING HOOKS (exit 1):
253
+ - Credential check (secrets in code)
254
+ - Dev server block (outside tmux)
255
+ - Doc blocker (random .md files)
256
+
257
+ WARNING HOOKS (stderr only):
258
+ - Console.log warning
259
+ - Tmux reminder
260
+ - Git push review
261
+
262
+ LIFECYCLE HOOKS:
263
+ - SessionStart: Load context
264
+ - SessionEnd: Persist state
265
+ - PreCompact: Save before trim
266
+ - Stop: Final validation
267
+ ```
268
+

+ # Lesson 8: MCP Servers
2
+
3
+ Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers extend Claude Code with external capabilities.
4
+
5
+ ## Concept
6
+
7
+ MCPs are plugins that give Claude Code access to external systems:
8
+
9
+ | Tier | MCPs | Purpose |
10
+ |------|------|---------|
11
+ | **Core** | memory, sequential-thinking, context7 | Always active - essential functionality |
12
+ | **Per-Client** | zoho-analytics, zoho-books, gcloud, bigquery, dbt | Enabled based on client tech stack |
13
+ | **Optional** | magic, firecrawl, github, filesystem | Project-specific needs |
14
+
15
+ ## Why This Matters
16
+
17
+ Without MCPs:
18
+ - Claude forgets everything between sessions
19
+ - You manually look up library documentation
20
+ - No direct access to GitHub, GCP, or Zoho APIs
21
+ - Limited to what Claude knows at training time
22
+
23
+ With MCPs:
24
+ - Memory persists across all sessions
25
+ - Up-to-date docs fetched on demand
26
+ - Direct API access to external systems
27
+ - Extended capabilities via plugins
28
+
29
+ ## The 12 Available MCPs
30
+
31
+ ### Core MCPs (Always Enabled)
32
+
33
+ These three MCPs are configured in `.mcp.json` by default:
34
+
35
+ #### 1. Memory MCP
36
+
37
+ Persists knowledge across sessions using a knowledge graph structure:
38
+ - **Entities**: Things (projects, decisions, patterns)
39
+ - **Relations**: Connections between entities
40
+ - **Observations**: Facts about entities
41
+
42
+ ```json
43
+ {
44
+ "memory": {
45
+ "command": "npx",
46
+ "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-memory"],
47
+ "env": {
48
+ "MEMORY_FILE_PATH": "~/.claude/memory/cloudstream-memory.json"
49
+ }
50
+ }
51
+ }
52
+ ```
53
+
54
+ **Use case**: "Remember that Client X prefers morning standups" persists across sessions.
55
+
56
+ #### 2. Sequential Thinking MCP
57
+
58
+ Enables multi-step reasoning for complex architecture decisions. Breaks down problems into logical steps before acting.
59
+
60
+ ```json
61
+ {
62
+ "sequential-thinking": {
63
+ "command": "npx",
64
+ "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-sequential-thinking"]
65
+ }
66
+ }
67
+ ```
68
+
69
+ **Use case**: Complex architecture decisions, compliance analysis, debugging sessions.
70
+
71
+ #### 3. Context7 MCP
72
+
73
+ Fetches live documentation for libraries. Never work with outdated API references.
74
+
75
+ ```json
76
+ {
77
+ "context7": {
78
+ "command": "npx",
79
+ "args": ["-y", "@upstash/context7-mcp"]
80
+ }
81
+ }
82
+ ```
83
+
84
+ **Pro tip**: Add Zoho SDKs to Context7 at [context7.com/add-library](https://context7.com/add-library)
85
+
86

176
+ ## MCP Configuration
177
+
178
+ MCPs are configured in two places:
179
+
180
+ | File | Purpose |
181
+ |------|---------|
182
+ | `.mcp.json` | Active MCPs for current project |
183
+ | `mcp-configs/mcp-servers.json` | Full catalog with documentation |
184
+
185
+ ### Adding an MCP to Your Project
186
+
187
+ **Step 1**: Find the MCP in the catalog:
188
+ ```bash
189
+ cat mcp-configs/mcp-servers.json
190
+ ```
191
+
192
+ **Step 2**: Copy the configuration to `.mcp.json`:
193
+ ```json
194
+ {
195
+ "mcpServers": {
196
+ "github": {
197
+ "command": "npx",
198
+ "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"],
199
+ "env": {
200
+ "GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "ghp_your_token_here"
201
+ }
202
+ }
203
+ }
204
+ }
205
+ ```
206
+
207
+ **Step 3**: Restart Claude Code session for MCPs to load.
208
+
209
+ ## Exercise
210
+
211
+ ### Exercise 8.1: Check Active MCPs
212
+
213
+ **Step 1**: View current MCP configuration:
214
+ ```bash
215
+ cat .mcp.json
216
+ ```
217
+
218
+ **Step 2**: You should see three MCPs: memory, sequential-thinking, context7.
219
+
220
+ ### Exercise 8.2: View MCP Catalog
221
+
222
+ **Step 1**: View all available MCPs:
223
+ ```bash
224
+ cat mcp-configs/mcp-servers.json
225
+ ```
226
+
227
+ **Step 2**: Notice the different tiers:
228
+ - Core (always enabled)
229
+ - Per-client (based on tech stack)
230
+ - Optional (project-specific)
231
+
232
+ ### Exercise 8.3: Verify Memory MCP
233
+
234
+ **Step 1**: Ask Claude to store something:
235
+ ```
236
+ Remember that the preferred deployment day is Tuesday.
237
+ ```
238
+
239
+ **Step 2**: In a NEW session, ask:
240
+ ```
241
+ What's the preferred deployment day?
242
+ ```
243
+
244
+ If memory is working, Claude will recall the preference.
245
+
246
+ ### Exercise 8.4: Use Context7
247
+
248
+ **Step 1**: Ask for live documentation:
249
+ ```
250
+ Using context7, show me the current React useState hook signature.
251
+ ```
252
+
253
+ **Step 2**: Notice that Context7 fetches live documentation, not training data.
254
+
255
+ ## Troubleshooting
256
+
257
+ | Issue | Cause | Fix |
258
+ |-------|-------|-----|
259
+ | MCP won't start | Package not found | Run `npx -y @package/name` manually first |
260
+ | Auth errors | Invalid credentials | Check environment variables in .mcp.json |
261
+ | Docker MCPs fail | Docker not running | Start Docker Desktop |
262
+ | uvx MCPs fail | Python not installed | Install Python 3.10+ with pip |
263
+ | Memory not persisting | Invalid file path | Check MEMORY_FILE_PATH exists |
264
+
265
+ ## Security Best Practices
266
+
267
+ 1. **Never commit credentials** - Use environment variables, not hardcoded values
268
+ 2. **Separate tokens per client** - Don't share credentials across clients
269
+ 3. **Rotate GCP keys quarterly** - Service account best practice
270
+ 4. **Minimum scopes** - Only request the API permissions you need
271
+ 5. **Read-only where possible** - BigQuery is read-only for safety
272
+
273
+ ## Verification
274
+
275
+ You've completed this exercise successfully if:
276
+ - [ ] You found `.mcp.json` and `mcp-configs/mcp-servers.json`
277
+ - [ ] You understand the 3 MCP tiers (Core, Per-Client, Optional)
278
+ - [ ] You know what each of the 12 MCPs does
279
+ - [ ] You tested memory persistence (or understand why it might not work if not configured)
280
+
281
+ ## Key Takeaway
282
+
283
+ MCPs extend Claude Code's capabilities beyond text generation. The three core MCPs (memory, sequential-thinking, context7) should always be configured. Add per-client MCPs based on the tech stack.
284
+
285
+ ## MCP Quick Reference
286
+
287
+ ```

295
+ - zoho-books: Accounting (Python)
296
+ - gcloud: GCP resources
297
+ - bigquery: Data warehouse (read-only)
298
+ - dbt: Data transformation
