Hookify plugin: Python import error - 'No module named hookify'
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Dec 9, 2025 by hopeoverture Closed Dec 10, 2025
Bug Description
The hookify plugin fails with No module named 'hookify' error on every prompt submission because the Python import paths are incorrect.
Error Message
UserPromptSubmit says: Hookify import error: No module named 'hookify'
Root Cause
The Python hook scripts (e.g., hooks/userpromptsubmit.py) attempt to import modules using:
from hookify.core.config_loader import load_rules
from hookify.core.rule_engine import RuleEngine
However, the plugin directory structure is:
.claude/plugins/cache/claude-code-plugins/hookify/0.1.0/
├── core/
│ ├── config_loader.py
│ └── rule_engine.py
├── hooks/
│ ├── userpromptsubmit.py
│ ├── pretooluse.py
│ ├── posttooluse.py
│ └── stop.py
└── ...
When CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT is set to the plugin directory (.../hookify/0.1.0/), the import from hookify.core... fails because there's no hookify subdirectory - the plugin root is the hookify directory.
Fix
Change all imports from:
from hookify.core.config_loader import load_rules
from hookify.core.rule_engine import RuleEngine
To:
from core.config_loader import load_rules
from core.rule_engine import RuleEngine
Files Affected
hooks/userpromptsubmit.pyhooks/pretooluse.pyhooks/posttooluse.pyhooks/stop.pycore/rule_engine.py
Environment
- OS: Windows 11
- Python: 3.14.0
- Claude Code version: 2.0.45+
- Hookify plugin version: 0.1.0
Workaround
Users can manually fix the imports by running:
sed -i 's/from hookify\.core\./from core./g' ~/.claude/plugins/cache/claude-code-plugins/hookify/0.1.0/hooks/*.py
sed -i 's/from hookify\.core\./from core./g' ~/.claude/plugins/cache/claude-code-plugins/hookify/0.1.0/core/rule_engine.py
