What is /hooks?

The /hooks command opens an interactive management menu for configuring automated workflows that trigger at specific points in the Claude Code lifecycle. While features like CLAUDE.md provide "soft" instructions, hooks offer deterministic control, ensuring that specific shell commands or AI evaluations run every single time a certain event occurs—such as formatting code after an edit or sending a notification when Claude needs your attention.
