What it does and how to use it
A hook that automates development tools actions at key moments (before/after a tool runs, on save, etc.), without you having to think about it.
- Install the hook (command above).
- It runs automatically on the defined events.
- Adjust the rules in the settings file if you want to fine-tune it.
Install (Claude Code)
mkdir -p .claude/hooks && curl -fsSL https://doutorai.pt/data/lib/hooks__edit-audit-log.md -o .claude/hooks/edit-audit-log.jsonPaste this command into the terminal, in your project folder, and the component installs automatically.
