Hook Configuration

Profiles

# Set hook profile (controls which hooks run)
export SCC_HOOK_PROFILE=minimal    # Session start + stop only
export SCC_HOOK_PROFILE=standard   # Default — includes quality checks
export SCC_HOOK_PROFILE=strict     # All hooks including auto-format

# Set default target org for SF CLI commands
sf config set target-org=my-scratch-org

# Scratch org duration is set via --duration-days flag or scratch org definition file
# sf org create scratch -f config/project-scratch-def.json --duration-days 7

CI/CD Environments

# Minimal hooks for CI (fast, no interactive prompts)
export SCC_HOOK_PROFILE=minimal

# Disable all cost/session tracking in CI
export SCC_DISABLED_HOOKS=cost-tracker,session-start,session-end,evaluate-session

Team Setup

Share SCC configuration across your team by adding to your project's .env.example:

# .env.example — copy to .env and customize

Hooks not firing	SCC not installed in project	Run npx scc-universal doctor to check
Permission denied on hooks	Script not executable	Run npx scc-universal repair
Skills not loading	Wrong install profile	Run npx scc-universal install all
sf command not found	SF CLI not installed	Install: npm install -g @salesforce/cli
sf commands fail with errors	SF CLI version too old	Upgrade: npm update -g @salesforce/cli (SCC requires SF CLI v2.x / sf not sfdx)
