  1. 2026-07-17 / SKILLSDecide hook vs. skill with one rule: must-happen-every-time and no-thinking means hookIn the 2026 Claude Code model, skills are prompt-loaded workflows the model chooses to run, while hooks fire deterministically on lifecycle events (PreToolUse/PostToolUse/SessionStart) and can run a command, HTTP call, or subagent. The clean heuristic: if an action must happen the same way every time and needs no reasoning — formatting, secret-scanning, test gating — put it in a hook, not a prompt. Prompts are for judgment; hooks are for guarantees.
