A skill is a folder. Copy it into your agent's skills folder and the agent loads it when the task matches its description.
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/a5c-ai/babysitter.git /tmp/babysitter mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills cp -r /tmp/babysitter/library/methodologies/claudekit/skills/hook-management ~/.claude/skills/hook-management

Session Isolation
All hook changes are session-scoped. Disabling a hook only affects the current session and does not persist.
Profiling
- Red alert: execution time > 5s
- Yellow warning: execution time > 3s
- Green: execution time < 3s
- Output size monitoring: flag > 10KB
Commands
- /hook:enable [hookName] -- Enable a disabled hook
- /hook:disable [hookName] -- Disable a hook for this session
- /hook:status -- Show all hook states and profiling data
When to Use
- When a hook is causing issues during a session
- To check performance of hook executions
- To temporarily bypass a hook for a specific operation
Processes Used By
- claudekit-orchestrator (hook pipeline setup)
- claudekit-safety-pipeline (hook profiling)
