A developer has built seven deterministic hooks for Claude Code to stop unwanted actions, from unauthorised emails to overspending and paid transcription. The useful trick: when a safeguard is triggered, the hook returns exit code two to override the model’s decision.
Why it mattersThat makes these rules less like a polite request to the AI and more like a locked door with a very small keyhole. The author’s examples show how developers can put firm limits around what an AI coding agent is allowed to do.
