SuperClaude Framework Hooks - Shared Modules Overview

Architecture Summary

The SuperClaude Framework Hooks shared modules provide the intelligent foundation for all 7 Claude Code hooks. These modules implement the core SuperClaude framework patterns from RULES.md, PRINCIPLES.md, and ORCHESTRATOR.md, delivering executable intelligence that transforms static configuration into dynamic, adaptive behavior.

Core Design Principles

1. Evidence-Based Intelligence

All modules implement measurable decision-making with metrics, performance targets, and validation cycles. No assumptions without evidence.

2. Adaptive Learning System

Cross-hook learning engine that continuously improves effectiveness through pattern recognition, user preference adaptation, and performance optimization.

3. Configuration-Driven Behavior

YAML-based configuration system supporting hot-reload, environment interpolation, and modular includes for flexible deployment.

4. Performance-First Design

Sub-200ms operation targets with intelligent caching, optimized algorithms, and resource-aware processing.

5. Quality-Gated Operations

Every operation includes validation, error handling, fallback strategies, and comprehensive logging for reliability.

    PatternDetector,          # Pattern recognition  
    MCPIntelligence,          # Server coordination
    CompressionEngine,        # Token optimization
    LearningEngine,           # Adaptive learning
    UnifiedConfigLoader,      # Configuration
    get_logger               # Logging
)

Usage Patterns

Basic Hook Integration

# Initialize shared modules
framework_logic = FrameworkLogic()
pattern_detector = PatternDetector()
mcp_intelligence = MCPIntelligence()

# Use in hook implementation
context = {...}
complexity_score = framework_logic.calculate_complexity_score(context)
detection_result = pattern_detector.detect_patterns(user_input, context, operation_data)
activation_plan = mcp_intelligence.create_activation_plan(user_input, context, operation_data)

Advanced Learning Integration

# Record learning events
learning_engine.record_learning_event(
    LearningType.USER_PREFERENCE,
    AdaptationScope.USER,
    context,
    pattern,
    effectiveness_score=0.85
)

# Apply learned adaptations
enhanced_recommendations = learning_engine.apply_adaptations(
    context, base_recommendations
)
