Function Hooks: Core Architecture (Anthropic)

The PDF holds this page's summary, my note and the link — one page you can keep or print.

What it is

A technical design paper by Alice Poteat (Anthropic, August 2026) setting out how function hooks let plugins extend Claude Code — the event model, composition order, rendering and enterprise controls.

Why I recommend it

Advanced and unapologetically technical. Read it as an example of a clear design document as much as for the AI tooling itself.
