What it is
Johanna Larsson wrote a short blog post for readers tired of Claude's stock phrases. It shows how to install a hook that replaces chosen phrases before they are shown.
What it says
- The post says a MessageDisplay hook can swap Claude's overused phrases for silly words.
- It gives a short Python script that maps phrases such as load-bearing to replacements.
- The script goes in the hooks folder and is registered in the settings file.
- The post says hooks load at startup, so a new session is needed.
What evidence it gives
The post shows a script and a settings snippet. It does not show the hook running or any output.
Interests and limits
The post is tagged as parody and is very short. It does not say which Claude Code versions support the hook. It was not tested here.
