Hookify Plugin Workflow +- Conversational hook creation (describe need → JSON generated) +- Lowers barrier vs manual JSON writing +- Pattern: Natural language → structured config + +### 4. Sandboxed Subagents +- Tool restriction per agent (security-reviewer can't Edit) +- Prevents accidental destructive actions +- Implementation: Define `tools: [Read, Grep]` in agent config + +### 5. Cascade Method (Multi-Instance) +- Manage multiple Claude instances: "Sweep left to right, oldest to newest" +- Focus on 3-4 tasks max +- Prevents context switching overhead + +### 6. Stop Hook Pattern +- Auto-summarization at session end (vs per-message) +- Captures: successes, failures, unexplored paths +- Feeds into reusable skills + +### 7. Skill Creator from Git History +- Extract patterns from actual commits +- Plugin or local implementation +- Pattern: `git log` → skill definition + +### 8. Context-Aware MCP Management +- 20-30 MCPs configured, <10 enabled per project +- Reduces context window pressure (200k → 70k effective) +- Strategy: Enable per task, not globally + +### 9.
