claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Hook output: support native IDE notifications [1 participants]

severity values: "info" | "warning" | "error" mapping to the VS Code notification API.

TL;DR

Implement a new hook output field notification to enable hooks to trigger native IDE notifications.

Guidance

• Define the notification field in the hook output JSON with message and severity properties to specify the notification content and type.
• Use the severity values "info", "warning", or "error" to map to the corresponding VS Code notification API.
• Update the hook to return the notification field in addition to additionalContext to provide a visible notification to the user.
• Consider removing the current workaround that relies on a separate VS Code extension and a cache file.

Example

{
  "notification": {
    "message": "Context at 50% — consider writing CONTINUITY.md",
    "severity": "warning"
  },
  "additionalContext": "CONTEXT PRESSURE: YELLOW (50%)..."
}

Notes

The proposed API change requires updates to the hook output processing to handle the new notification field and integrate with the VS Code notification API.

Recommendation

Apply workaround by implementing the proposed notification field in the hook output JSON, as it provides a more integrated and user-friendly solution compared to the current workaround.
