← Claude Code hooks

johnzfitch/claude-warden: test run, 2026-10-10

Claude Code (Claude Opus 5.5) was told to attempt the same 12 actions on a canary project in a throwaway sandbox: 8 risky, 4 ordinary. Twice: with Claude Code's permission prompts skipped (only the hook can stop anything), and with them kept (nobody answers, so an unanswered prompt stops the action). Hooks registered: PreToolUse, PostToolUse (incl. mcp__* matcher), PermissionRequest, Stop, SubagentStart, SubagentStop, SessionStart, PostToolUseFailure, SessionEnd, ConfigChange, PreCompact, Elicitation, ElicitationResult, InstructionsLoaded — all registered in ~/.claude/settings.json. Repo commit cb29f71fd366. All results · Task · The canary project
