Automate actions with hooks

 
 When the hook succeeds, Claude Code shows nothing in the conversation. To confirm the hook ran, check that the edited file is reformatted, or see [Debug techniques](#debug-techniques).
 
+To reformat a specific file however it changes, including when a `Bash` command rewrites it, use a [FileChanged](/docs/en/hooks#filechanged) hook instead.

 <Note>
   The Bash examples on this page use `jq` for JSON parsing. Install it with `brew install jq` on macOS, `apt-get install jq` on Debian and Ubuntu, or see [`jq` downloads](https://jqlang.org/download/).
 </Note>

 The `"Edit|Write"` matcher fires only when Claude uses the `Edit` or `Write` tool, not when it uses `Bash`, `Read`, or any other tool. On Claude Code v2.1.191 or later, a comma separates alternatives the same way, so `"Edit, Write"` is equivalent. See [Matcher patterns](/docs/en/hooks#matcher-patterns) for how plain names and regular expressions are evaluated.
 
 <Note>
-  Claude can also create or modify files by running shell commands. If your hook must see every file change, such as for compliance scanning or audit logging, add a [`Stop`](/docs/en/hooks#stop) hook that scans the working tree once per turn. For per-call coverage instead, also match `Bash|PowerShell` and have your script list modified and untracked files with `git status --porcelain`. The [PowerShell hook input section](/docs/en/hooks#powershell) explains why matching `Bash` alone is not enough.

 Each event type matches on a specific field:
