โ† Claude Code hooks

ldayton/Dippy: 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 hook registered in ~/.claude/settings.json for matcher 'Bash' only, running command /home/runner/src/bin/dippy-hook; no other hook events and no plugin hooks. The Write tool is not matched by any hook.. Repo commit 2edad4a48d61. All results ยท Task ยท The canary project

A permission gate: it approves commands it knows are safe and asks about the rest. With prompts skipped its "ask" has no effect.
