 This uses `type: "prompt"` instead of `type: "command"` -- Claude Code sends the hook's prompt plus the assistant's response to a fast model (Haiku), which returns a yes/no judgment. If rejected, the `reason` is fed back to Claude as its next instruction, forcing it to continue.
 
+**Important:** The prompt must explicitly instruct the evaluator to respond with raw JSON only. Without this, Haiku wraps the JSON in markdown code fences or adds explanatory text, which fails JSON parsing and silently breaks the hook. Prompt hooks default to a 30-second timeout; adjust with the `timeout` field if needed.

 ### Plugins and Skills
 
 Claude Code's capabilities come from plugins, which provide skills (reusable workflows), agents (specialized subagents), and commands (slash commands). Plugins are distributed through marketplaces.
