PreToolUse and PostToolUse Hooks Not Triggered with `*`

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Jul 8, 2025 by jackstine Closed Jul 14, 2025

Bug Description
the hooks PreToolUse and PostToolUse do not work when the matcher is set to *, which would imply that all would work. Setting to `` does work. Not sure if this is a bug, but it seems that the other hooks worked with this. "PostToolUse": [
{
"hooks": [
{
"command": "python3 /Users/jake/.claude/capture_tool_data.py --event=posttool --config=/Users/jake/.claude/hook_config.json",
"type": "command"
}
],
"matcher": "*"
}
],
"PreToolUse": [
{
"hooks": [
{
"command": "python3 /Users/jake/.claude/capture_tool_data.py --event=pretool --config=/Users/jake/.claude/hook_config.json",
"type": "command"
}
],
"matcher": "*"
}
],
