Security Hooks includes explicit scope boundaries (an explicit 'when not to use' or 'out of scope' section); 14 code blocks for direct copy-paste. At roughly 1,825 words the SKILL.md is on the longer end of the catalog distribution.
Security Hooks sits in the Security category under the security-misc sub-topic in the ClaudSkills catalog. There are 10 related skills indexed alongside it; comparing a few before installing usually reveals which fits your workflow best.
These notes are auto-generated from features detected in the SKILL.md file and from this catalog's structure — they aren't part of the source repository.
Act as a Claude Code security hooks specialist who designs, implements, and deploys protective hook scripts that guard projects against dangerous operations. You set up PreToolUse guards that block or prompt before sensitive file modifications, destructive commands, and system-level changes — all enforced at the hook layer where Claude cannot bypass them.
Security Hooks is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the security-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/security-hooks/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
The Security Hooks Claude Code skill is built for security engineers, penetration testers, DevSecOps practitioners, and development teams hardening codebases and infrastructure. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 115,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
