How to Validate
- Test
/hooks panelshows all registered hooks correctly - Verify hook source information is accurate (project/user/system/extension)
- Test hook enable/disable state is displayed correctly
- Validate execution history and statistics are shown
- Test with various hook configurations and sources
- Test
/hooks enable <hook-name>enables a disabled hook - Test
/hooks disable <hook-name>disables an enabled hook - Verify hook state persists across CLI restarts
- Test with various hook names and configurations
- Validate error handling for invalid hook names
- Test migration from various Claude Code configurations
- Verify event name aliasing works correctly
- Test environment variable conversion (CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR → GEMINI_PROJECT_DIR)
- Validate migrated hooks work correctly in Gemini
- Test error handling for invalid Claude configurations

Summary of Changes
Hello @Edilmo, I'm Gemini Code Assist[^1]! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
This pull request significantly enhances the Gemini CLI's extensibility and user control by introducing a dedicated system for managing hooks. It provides new CLI commands to inspect, enable, and disable hooks, along with a migration utility for users transitioning from Claude Code. The underlying configuration system has been updated to support more flexible merging strategies for hook settings, allowing for a more robust and customizable user experience.
Highlights
- New Hooks CLI Command: Introduced a new top-level
/hooksCLI command with subcommands:panel,enable,disable, andmigratefor comprehensive hook management. - Hook Management Subcommands: The
panelsubcommand displays all configured hooks and their status,enableactivates a specified hook, anddisabledeactivates a specified hook by updating thehooks.disabledsetting. - Claude Code Hooks Migration: A
migratesubcommand is added to convert existing Claude Code hooks to the new Gemini CLI format, including transformations for tool names and environment variables like$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIRto$GEMINI_PROJECT_DIR. - Enhanced Hook Settings and Merge Strategies: The
hooks.disabledsetting now uses aUNIONmerge strategy, allowing disabled hooks to be combined across different settings files. Additionally, all hook event arrays (e.g.,BeforeTool,AfterTool) and custom hook events now use aCONCATmerge strategy for flexible configuration. - Updated Settings Schema and Documentation: The settings schema and documentation have been updated to reflect the new
hooks.disabledsetting and the detailed structure for various hook event types, ensuring clarity and consistency. - Comprehensive Testing: Extensive unit and integration tests have been added to cover the new hook disabling functionality (both via settings and command) and the Claude Code migration process, ensuring reliability.
