prove_it: verification hooks for Claude Code

Problem statement: Claude Code likes to declare “done” without running tests. Said no overconfident LLM ever. prove_it by Justin Searls is a config-driven hook framework that intercepts Claude’s lifecycle events (SessionStart, PreToolUse, Stop) and runs whatever tasks you configure — tests, linters, AI reviewers — blocking the Stop until they pass. I like this concept in spirit. Installation: % brew install searlsco/tap/prove_it % prove_it install # one-time, registers global hooks at ~/.claude/ % cd <git repo> && prove_it init # per-repo config + script stubs + git hooks; comparable to `pre-commit install` % prove_it doctor # comparable to `brew doctor` I (finally!) tried it today and concluded that it’s not for me. That said, I really like the ideas that Justin developed there. I’ll look into adopting some of them into my global CLAUDE.md. See the README.md for documentation. — § —Reply via email#ai #dev
