Hook Updater

Overview

Use this skill to refresh an existing hook safely: research current best practices, compare against current implementation, generate a TDD patch backlog, apply updates, and verify ecosystem integration including settings.json registration.

When to Use

• Reflection flags stale or malfunctioning hook behavior
• EVOLVE determines hook capability exists but quality is outdated
• User asks to audit/refresh an existing hook
• Hook exit code or stdin protocol issues detected

The Iron Law

Never update a hook blindly. Every refresh must be evidence-backed, TDD-gated, and integration-validated.
