+# block_bash_with_instructions.sh - Blocks specific bash commands and provides alternative instructions
+#
+# This hook intercepts Bash tool use calls and blocks commands that match
+# specific patterns, providing alternative instructions to the agent.

+# Usage: Registered as a PreToolUse hook in .claude/settings.json
+#
+# Input (stdin): JSON from Claude Code hook system containing tool_name and tool_input
+# Output (stdout): JSON response with error message if blocked
+# Exit codes:
+#   0 - Success (allow action)
+#   2 - Blocking error (prevent action with message)

+# The regex is matched against the full bash command
+# Add new blocked commands here:
