Configure Hookify Rules

Load writing-rules skill first to understand rule format.

Enable or disable existing hookify rules using an interactive interface.

Steps

1. Find Existing Rules

Use glob tool to find all hookify rule files:

pattern: ".github/hookify.*.local.md"

If no rules found, inform user:

No hookify rules configured yet. Use the `hookify-create` skill to create your first rule.

2. Read Current State

For each rule file:

Read the file
Extract name and enabled fields from frontmatter
Build list of rules with current state

3. Ask User Which Rules to Toggle

Use ask_user to let user select rules:

{
  "questions": [
    {
      "question": "Which rules would you like to enable or disable?",
      "header": "Configure",
      "multiSelect": true,
      "options": [
        {
          "label": "warn-dangerous-rm (currently enabled)",
          "description": "Warns about rm -rf commands"
        },
        {
          "label": "warn-console-log (currently disabled)",
          "description": "Warns about console.log in code"
        },
        {
          "label": "require-tests (currently enabled)",
          "description": "Requires tests before stopping"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Option format:

Label: {rule-name} (currently {enabled|disabled})
Description: Brief description from rule's message or pattern

4. Parse User Selection

For each selected rule:

Determine current state from label (enabled/disabled)
Toggle state: enabled → disabled, disabled → enabled

5. Update Rule Files

For each rule to toggle:

Use read tool to read current content
Use edit tool to change enabled: true to enabled: false (or vice versa)
Handle both with and without quotes

Edit pattern for enabling:

old_string: "enabled: false"
new_string: "enabled: true"

Edit pattern for disabling:

old_string: "enabled: true"
new_string: "enabled: false"

6. Confirm Changes

Show user what was changed:

## Hookify Rules Updated

**Enabled:**
- warn-console-log

**Disabled:**
- warn-dangerous-rm

**Unchanged:**
- require-tests

Changes apply immediately - no restart needed

Important Notes

Changes take effect immediately on next tool use
You can also manually edit .github/hookify.*.local.md files
To permanently remove a rule, delete its .local.md file
Use hookify-list skill to see all configured rules
