# DO NOT EDIT - Hooks Daemon Internal Source Code
**IF YOU ARE WORKING ON A PROJECT THAT HAS HOOKS DAEMON INSTALLED — YOU MUST
NOT EDIT ANYTHING IN THIS FOLDER.**
This is the daemon's own source code: an upstream dependency, not part of your
project. Editing files here breaks your installation, is overwritten on the
next daemon update, and creates conflicts that prevent future upgrades.
+ **Unless this repository IS the daemon.** In self-install (dogfood) mode the
+ daemon's source and the project are the same checkout, so there is no upstream
+ to be overwritten by and editing here is the normal way to work — see
+ [SELF_INSTALL.md](../CLAUDE/SELF_INSTALL.md). The heading above is addressed to
+ a CLIENT project that installed the daemon under `.claude/hooks-daemon/`; it is
+ not a claim that these files are untouchable everywhere. Check which case you
+ are in before concluding an instruction to edit `src/` is a mistake: two
+ sub-agents working on daemon source have now read this page as forbidding their
+ assigned task, and one classified it as injected content.
+
## Do This Instead
- **Custom handler behaviour** — create project-level handlers in YOUR repo
(`.claude/hooks-daemon/bin/hooks-daemon init-project-handlers` scaffolds
them; they are auto-discovered). See
[Project-Level Handlers Guide](../CLAUDE/PROJECT_HANDLERS.md).
- **Found a bug** — do NOT fix it here. Write a report to
`untracked/scratch/` and ask your human to submit it upstream, following
the [Bug Reporting Guide](../BUG_REPORTING.md) (it covers the diagnostic
script, report contents, and the upstream issue tracker). That directory is
inside the working tree, so the report survives a container restart, and it
is gitignored, so it never reaches review. A path outside the repository is
refused by `project_containment`.
- **Change handler configuration** — edit your project's
`.claude/hooks-daemon.yaml` (that IS yours: enable/disable handlers, set
priorities and options).
- **Understand how something works** — read the docs, not the source:
[ARCHITECTURE.md](../CLAUDE/ARCHITECTURE.md),
[HANDLER_DEVELOPMENT.md](../CLAUDE/HANDLER_DEVELOPMENT.md),
[PROJECT_HANDLERS.md](../CLAUDE/PROJECT_HANDLERS.md),
[DEBUGGING_HOOKS.md](../CLAUDE/DEBUGGING_HOOKS.md).
