For bulk operations or automation:

# Install single rule
python3 plugins/hookify/scripts/install_rule.py git:block-force-push

# Install all rules in category
python3 plugins/hookify/scripts/install_rule.py --category python

# Install all rules
python3 plugins/hookify/scripts/install_rule.py --all

# List available rules
python3 plugins/hookify/scripts/install_rule.py --list

# Install to custom directory
python3 plugins/hookify/scripts/install_rule.py git:block-force-push --target /path/to/.claude

Verification: Run the command with --help flag to verify availability.

Method 3: Manual Copy
