What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
Hooks are commands that run automatically at certain moments, such as when Claude uses a tool. The first screen of /hooks is now a list of every hook you have, grouped under its event, showing:
where the hook comes from
the command it runs
its matcher, the rule that chooses which tools it applies to
An All events row opens the old list of events, now titled Hook events. Pressing Esc from a hook you opened from the list returns you to the list. When you have no hooks, the subtitle reads no hooks yet, or managed hooks only if your organization set them.
Before, /hooks opened on the list of events with a count of hooks for each. The menu is still read-only: to add or change a hook, edit settings.json or ask Claude.

Added sinceA small documentation edit on Automate actions with hooks touched a line naming /hooks after this was published.The reverse is not true: a hook returning `"allow"` doesn't bypass deny rules from settings, and it can't suppress the prompt for MCP tools marked [`requiresUserInteraction`](/docs/en/mcp#require-approval-for-a-specific-tool) or for connec…hooks-guidesee the edit
