75%Weight 40%Scale 1-5Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A thorough, highly actionable reference for writing hookify rules with concrete templates and a sensible workflow. Its main weakness is token efficiency — a regex primer and a duplicated quick-reference section re-explain material Claude already knows or that is already covered upstream.
Suggestions
Remove or drastically shrink the "Regex Basics" section — Claude already knows standard regex metacharacters; keep only hookify-specific escaping guidance (YAML quoted vs. unquoted).
Trim the "Quick Reference" to only the minimal-viable template and a pointer, since event types, fields, and operators are already detailed above; avoid restating them.
Tighten the Creating-a-Rule workflow into an explicit validate→fix→retry loop (write rule → test pattern with the python3 one-liner → adjust → retest) to lift workflow clarity.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Most of the guide is efficiently specific to hookify, but the "Regex Basics" section explains metacharacters (\s, \d, +, *, ?, |) Claude already knows, and the "Quick Reference" duplicates event types, fields, and operators already covered — several padded sections that could be trimmed. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | It provides copy-paste-ready rule templates with complete frontmatter, concrete field/operator definitions, specific naming conventions, and a runnable test command (`python3 -c "import re; ..."`), with examples covering the common cases (dangerous rm, console.log, .env edits, completion checklists). | 5 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The Workflow section sequences Creating/Refining/Disabling a rule with a "Test immediately — rules are read dynamically on next tool use" checkpoint and a refining feedback loop, but validation is mentioned as a final step rather than a tight validate→fix→retry loop within the steps. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The body is well-organized with clear section headers and one clearly signaled one-level-deep reference (`${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/examples/`); no bundle files exist, and most content is appropriately inline, though the full operator/field reference and regex tutorial could arguably live in separate files. | 4 / 5 |
