hookify-rules is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Jamkris/everything-gemini-code. It costs 47 tokens per session (943 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A guide for creating Hookify rules: Markdown files with settings that watch for matching commands, file changes, prompts, or other events and show a warning or block an action.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure rules that detect risky patterns in commands or files and respond with warnings or blocks.
Why use it?
It helps turn repeated safety checks or workflow requirements into automatic reminders and restrictions.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

hookify-rules scanned grade C with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

- **Too specific**: `rm -rf /tmp` — use `rm\s+-rf`

Writing Hookify Rules

Overview

Hookify rules are markdown files with YAML frontmatter that define patterns to watch for and messages to show when those patterns match. Rules are stored in .gemini/egc-hookify.{rule-name}.local.md files.

Rule File Format

Basic Structure

---
name: rule-identifier
enabled: true
event: bash|file|stop|prompt|all
pattern: regex-pattern-here
---

Message to show Gemini when this rule triggers.
Can include markdown formatting, warnings, suggestions, etc.

Frontmatter Fields

Field Required Values Description
name Yes kebab-case string Unique identifier (verb-first: warn-, block-, require-*)
enabled Yes true/false Toggle without deleting
event Yes bash/file/stop/prompt/all Which hook event triggers this
action No warn/block warn (default) shows message; block prevents operation
pattern Yes* regex string Pattern to match (*or use conditions for complex rules)

Advanced Format (Multiple Conditions)

---
name: warn-env-api-keys
enabled: true
event: file
conditions:
  - field: file_path
    operator: regex_match
    pattern: \.env$
  - field: new_text
    operator: contains
    pattern: API_KEY
---

You're adding an API key to a .env file. Ensure this file is in .gitignore!

Condition fields by event:

  • bash: command
  • file: file_path, new_text, old_text, content
  • prompt: user_prompt

Operators: regex_match, contains, equals, not_contains, starts_with, ends_with

All conditions must match for rule to trigger.

Event Type Guide

bash Events

Match Bash command patterns:

  • Dangerous commands: rm\s+-rf, dd\s+if=, mkfs
  • Privilege escalation: sudo\s+, su\s+
  • Permission issues: chmod\s+777

file Events

Match Edit/Write/MultiEdit operations:

  • Debug code: console\.log\(, debugger
  • Security risks: eval\(, innerHTML\s*=
  • Sensitive files: \.env$, credentials, \.pem$

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
