Claude Code Function Hooks proposal: Express-style middleware to make plugins 10x more powerful

ClaudeDevs · x · 2026-09-04

Anthropic's GitHub issue #91870 details the Function Hooks proposal for Claude Code: TypeScript functions hook into the tool using a registration-order-based 'next' continuation model a la Express/Koa, with side-effect tracking over a parameterized $ object for safety. Hooks could modify nearly any behavior, including React component rendering; workplace admins gain fine-grained programmatic control over what users can change. An architecture doc and demo videos are included; the feature isn't shipped and feedback is open.
