claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Feature request: Hook event for permission prompts [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Implementing a new hook event, such as PermissionPrompt, would allow for notifications when Claude Code is waiting for user input on a permission prompt.

Guidance

• Review the existing hook events to ensure none can be repurposed for permission prompts, focusing on UserPromptSubmit as a potential candidate.
• Consider proposing the addition of a PermissionPrompt hook event to the Claude Code development team, highlighting the use case of improving workflow for users who don't use --dangerously-skip-permissions.
• Investigate if there are any community-driven solutions or workarounds for achieving similar functionality, such as custom scripts or third-party integrations.
• Evaluate the feasibility of implementing a temporary workaround, such as periodically checking the application's state for permission prompts, although this might not be as reliable as a built-in hook event.

Example

No code example is provided due to the lack of specific technical details about the Claude Code API or existing hook events.

Notes

The solution relies on the assumption that the Claude Code development team is open to adding new features or hook events. The effectiveness of any workaround would depend on the specific implementation and the application's internal state management.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: While not ideal, exploring community solutions or implementing a custom script to periodically check for permission prompts might provide a temporary solution until a built-in PermissionPrompt hook event is available.
