What
Hooks are user-configured scripts that can intercept and modify what Claude processes. Claude Code now has a built-in default explanation, "a hook answered without passing the prompt on", used when a hook drops content from being processed but doesn't supply its own reason for doing so.
Why
This gives users a clearer message when a hook silently blocks something, instead of leaving the cause unexplained.
