Automation & Hooks

Automate repeatable work and enforce deterministic checks.

Automation principle

Automate a process only after the manual process is clear. A bad process automated at scale becomes a bigger problem.

Example weekly workflow

Trigger: Friday 3:00 PM
Input: current-term attendance
Rule: identify students below 75%
Output:
1. class-wise summary
2. student list
3. parent-message drafts
Safety: drafts require human review before sending

Hooks in coding

Hooks can enforce deterministic actions at specific points in Claude Code's lifecycle, such as linting, tests, formatting, or policy checks.

Good hook uses

Run unit tests after code changes.
Block secrets from being committed.
Run PHP lint or JavaScript tests.
Verify required files exist.
