## What it is
CaptainHook is a flexible git hook manager for PHP developers that lets teams configure git hook actions in a JSON file. It supports built-in validators, custom PHP classes, and CLI commands to enforce code quality and commit standards.

## Use cases
- validate commit messages before committing
- run unit tests before pushing to git
- enforce coding standards on commit
- share git hooks across a team
- install composer dependencies after pulling changes
- prevent commits that break tests

## When to choose
- your team uses PHP and wants configurable, shareable git hooks
- you need to enforce commit message formats or pre-push test runs
- you want hooks defined declaratively in a JSON config

## When to avoid
- you need a language-agnostic hook manager (consider the Go version or husky)
- your project is not using git
- you only need a single simple hook script

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, cli, code-review, testing, workflow-automation
- domain: developer-tools, version-control
- platform: php, cli, cross-platform
- tags: git-hooks, pre-commit, commit-validation, code-quality, php, automation, command-line
