What it is

Nimrod gives Claude four research tools:

Why not just let the model search? Because raw search is where agent runs go to
die: Nimrod returns ranked evidence instead of SEO sludge, as
token-efficient markdown instead of raw HTML, with deterministic costs
(1 credit = 1 search) and date/site/language control.

New accounts start with a free 50-credit trial — no card required.

How hooks work

Hooks are shell commands Claude Code runs at fixed points: before or after a tool call, when you submit a prompt, when Claude stops, on notifications and at session start.
They are set in the hooks section of ~/.claude/settings.json (or .claude/settings.json for a project), or come bundled in a plugin.
A hook can block a tool call, add context, or run a formatter or test. Read the scripts before you install them: they run on your machine with your permissions.
