The problem no one talks about
AI coding agents are powerful. They read files, run commands, write code, and push to production. But most teams hand them the keys and hope for the best.
I’ve watched agents git push --force over a teammate’s work. I’ve seen hallucinated imports tank a build that was green five minutes ago. I’ve had agents tell me “done” when they never actually committed or pushed. One edited a migration file that was already applied in production.
Better prompting doesn’t fix this. Prompts are suggestions. Hooks are enforcement.
Hooks intercept agent actions before they execute. They can block a command, validate a file, inject context from a previous session, or enforce a checklist before the agent wraps up. They run deterministically on every action, every time. No drift.
Most teams using AI coding agents don’t have a single hook configured. That’s the gap.
What Create Hooks does
Create Hooks scaffolds, validates, and manages hooks so you can focus on the logic instead of the boilerplate.
It also analyzes your existing hooks for conflicts and validates config so nothing silently breaks.
How we actually use it
Block destructive commands
A PreToolUse hook intercepts git push --force, rm -rf, and anything else that shouldn’t run unattended. The agent gets stopped before execution, not after damage.
Validate file schemas on write
Before any file hits disk, a hook checks it against our defined schemas. Hallucinated structures get caught automatically. The agent literally cannot write a file outside our definitions.
Inject context from past sessions
A UserPromptSubmit hook pulls relevant context from previous sessions so the agent doesn’t repeat mistakes or lose what it figured out yesterday.
Enforce commit discipline
A Stop hook blocks the agent from closing a session without staging, committing, and pushing. No more “I’m done” with uncommitted work sitting in the working tree.
We’ve built enough of these across client projects that I taught Claude how to generate them for me. That became Create Hooks.
Want this configured for your team?
We do half-day and full-day sessions where I sit down with your dev team, audit your AI workflow, and build out hooks, skills, and configs specific to your codebase. Most teams are shipping with measurably better AI output by end of day.
$2,500 to $10,000 depending on team size and scope. Most teams land around $5K.

Not sure where to start?
If your team is running AI agents in production and you haven’t locked down hooks, skills, and configs yet, we can get you there in a day. If you’re not sure whether it’s worth the investment, happy to jump on a 20-minute call first. No pitch, just an honest look at where your setup is and whether there’s real improvement to capture.
