Question 6

What are the best practices for Hooks in Claude Code?

Accepted Answer

Use `PostToolUse` hooks to auto-run formatters and linters after every file edit — keeps agent output consistently clean Use `PreToolUse` hooks for parameter validation before destructive operations (e.g. file deletes, DB writes) Use `Stop` hooks as final verification gates — run your test suite or build check before the session ends Never bypass hooks with `--no-verify` — if a hook fails, fix the root cause Write hooks as standalone scripts (bash or Node) so they're testable independently of Claude Code

Question 7

What are the best practices for Settings & Config in Claude Code?

Accepted Answer

**Server-managed** settings (remote delivery) **MDM profiles** — macOS plist at `com.anthropic.claudecode` **Registry policies** — Windows `HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\ClaudeCode` (admin) and `HKCU\SOFTWARE\Policies\ClaudeCode` (user-level, lowest policy priority) **File** — `managed-settings.json` and `managed-mcp.json` (macOS: `/Library/Application Support/ClaudeCode/`, Linux/WSL: `/etc/claude-code/`, Windows: `C:\Program Files\ClaudeCode\`) **Drop-in directory** — `managed-settings.d/` alongside `managed-settings.json` for independent policy fragments (v2.1.83). Following the systemd convention, `managed-settings.json` is merged first as the base, then all `*.json` files in the drop-in directory are sorted alphabetically and merged on top. Later files override earlier ones for scalar values; arrays are concatenated and de-duplicated; objects are deep-merged. Hidden files starting with `.` are ignored. Use numeric prefixes to control merge order (e.g., `10-telemetry.json`, `20-security.json`)

Question 8

What are the best practices for Git Worktrees in Claude Code?

Accepted Answer

Create one worktree per agent: `git worktree add ../feature-branch-name` — agents never share a working directory Automate worktree creation in your agent bootstrap script, not manually Clean up with `git worktree remove` after the agent task completes — orphaned worktrees cause confusion Combine with `isolation: "worktree"` in subagent settings for fully declarative isolation
