How I Stop Claude Code From Breaking My Rules With Hooks

Watch it. Then take my 3 Claude Code hooks and put them on your own business. Free, wired and ready.

⚠ Sound on ⚠

The 3 hooks I run in the video are right here. Put your email in. They come to you wired and ready. Watch it on YouTube if you want the comments.

Send me the 3 hooks. Free.

The 3 Claude Code hooks I run my business on. A skill trigger, a link guard, and a voice check. Every 1 is a small text file plus the line that wires it in. Claude Code does the wiring off 1 paste. No card. No call.

🎖️ Built by a Marine✉ No spam, ever📁 Files and folders, nothing else

The 3 hooks, and what each 1 gets you

1.The skill trigger, so that the skill you named fires every time you say its words, because it reads your words before Claude does and Claude does not get to decide anymore

2.The link guard, so that every payment link on your public pages gets checked against the 1 list you signed, every time Claude stops. A wrong link sends money the wrong place

3.The voice check, so that your banned words get caught in the files you just touched. Said once. Silent when clean. A warning that never goes away is not a warning

+The wiring paste, so that Claude Code puts all 3 in for you. Then it asks you for your trigger words, your banned words, and your approved links, 1 question at a time

Arne-Per Heurberg, who goes by Per, 5 star review on the Build Market Close Skool, still a paying member after 1 month: Always got your back, RyMac. That isn't some throw away pithy line. That is a promise that I've seen followed through on repeatedly throughout the community before people even know that they need it, Ryan is building tools and honing skills to meet people at the earliest spot that they can possibly pick up the sales and marketing part of their journey. Nothing gatekept. Everything about people making it their own and them helping others. He shares from 3x+ successful sales careers. Don't miss it! — ★★★★★That is a promise that I've seen followed through on repeatedly. Nothing gatekept Per Heurberg

Marcelo Michelsohn, 5 star review on the Build Market Close Skool, still a paying member after 1 month: Best decision ever to join Build Market Close. It doesn't matter how well you can create an AI system if you don't know how to market and sell it. Ry Mac fills this gap with his decades of business experience and his knowledge of AI, specially ICM systems. One of the more generous, no BS, straight forward guys in this space. — ★★★★★It doesn't matter how well you can create an AI system if you don't know how to market and sell it. Ry Mac fills this gap Marcelo Michelsohn

Phill MacDonald, 5 star review on the Build Market Close Skool, still a paying member after 30 days: I joined BMC from the Clief Notes community to learn how to sell this system. Ry Mac is a sales master at this and a genuinely down to Earth guy willing to help. If you're looking for great sales training for the AI industry you're in the right spot. — ★★★★★Ry Mac is a sales master at this and a genuinely down to Earth guy willing to help Phill MacDonald

Mason Page, 5 star review on the Build Market Close Skool, still a paying member after 8 days: RyMac helped me declutter my tangled AI brain. I was ready to give up on AI thinking it was over hyped crap. Now everything is properly set up and my AI runs like all the videos you see on his YouTube. — ★★★★★I was ready to give up on AI thinking it was over hyped crap. Now everything is properly set up Mason Page

Angelo Ramos, 5 star review on the Build Market Close Skool: Ry Mac helped me out for 5 straight hours after I dm'd him because I had my first ICM presentation to a prospect with no idea how to implement it. Tons of resources and live coaching on chat. I landed the prospect. — ★★★★★5 straight hours after I dm'd him I landed the prospect Angelo Ramos

Miguel Alemar, 5 star review on the Build Market Close Skool, still a paying member after 26 days: Ryan has blown other communities and masterminds away by leading with genuine integrity, care and a drive to share his knowledge. This was the best investment I have made so far. We are tapped in! — ★★★★★This was the best investment I have made so far. We are tapped in! Miguel Alemar

Jason Reedy, 5 star review on the Build Market Close Skool, still a paying member after 12 days: I've been very impressed, not only with the competency, but the real sense of shared growth and the willingness of others to help. This is not a group for Guru's with all the right answers, instead it's a place for people to come together and share what they are working on and bring their experience to bear on the things others are trying to figure out. Ryan is also extremely helpful and glad to assist people on specific projects, it's not that just that he can help - it's that he is eager to. — ★★★★★This is not a group for Guru's with all the right answers it's that he is eager to Jason Reedy

Ron Davis, 5 star review on the Build Market Close Skool, still a paying member after 1 month: I don't think I've had the opportunity to learn so many new things in one call. Mind you, I think I'm well-versed already in this AI space. Being on a community call with Ryan's community, just the first call, was a level up even for me. Highly recommend, especially if you need to focus on building up the sales and marketing side of your organization. — ★★★★★just the first call, was a level up even for me. Highly recommend Ron Davis

Jeff Van Leenen, 5 star review on the Build Market Close Skool, still a paying member after 28 days: I am really impressed with all of the material here. The framework course is clear and practical, asked stuff amazing, and the ICM build-along shows the real process, not theory. Ry Mac shares everything freely and genuinely wants to see others succeed. Best kind of community to be in. — ★★★★★the ICM build-along shows the real process, not theory. Best kind of community to be in. Jeff Van Leenen

Kenneth Korte, 5 star review on the Build Market Close Skool, still a paying member after 1 month: I've paid for courses that gave me less than what RyMac hands out here for free. The sales framework, his Claude Code skills, the ICM build-along. None of it is held back for an upsell. Most gurus charge an arm and a leg and still leave out the part that makes it work. RyMac gives you the whole thing, then helps you apply it. I build my business nights and weekends, so I need stuff I can use right away. This is it. If you can build with AI but struggle to sell it, join. — ★★★★★I've paid for courses that gave me less than what RyMac hands out here for free. None of it is held back for an upsell Kenneth Korte

Rodney Williams, 5 star review on the Build Market Close Skool, still a paying member after 20 days: The free value made me join. The clarity made me stay. I was new to ICM and diving so deep I was losing sight of the business. Then RyMac showed how he's run businesses on files and folders since 2006. Light bulb, instantly. His three laws (speed to lead, persistence, right message on the right rung) now drive every conversation with owners. A proud Marine, still serving. Real structure, none of the overcomplicated noise. Thank you, RyMac, for always having our back. Ten stars if I could. — ★★★★★The free value made me join. The clarity made me stay. Ten stars if I could. Rodney Williams

Adam James, 5 star review on the Build Market Close Skool, still a paying member after 2 months: I never met a person that's more available.

Tons of free stuff and Rymac is very active in the group and helping you answer questions (I had/have a ton of them). I enjoyed it so much that I upgraded to VIP just bc I want to go above and beyond the free stuff. Can't recommend this Skool community enough! Thanks Rymac! — ★★★★★I enjoyed it so much that I upgraded to VIP Can't recommend this Skool community enough! Nathan Shaver

Marcelo Michelsohn, a post on the Build Market Close Skool, a paying premium member: Day 2, touch 2 on WhatsApp, 14 of 33 have now replied. Yesterday was the email. Today my brother texted everyone who hadn't answered on WhatsApp, one by one. 8 more replies today. Where it stands: 4 clients requested proposals to send next week, one for an 1,800 people event, 4 conversations waiting on them, 5 honest no's with the door open, 19 silent. Touch 3 is the phone call. Could not have done it without Ry Mac's support! I am thinking about upgrading from premium to VIP. — 4 clients requested proposals one for an 1,800 people event.

Phill MacDonald, a paying member, commenting on the VIP room post: This is Awesome Sauce! Ry Mac is the real deal. I am not ready for VIP but I know all the info in the classroom here has helped me a lot to set the system up. Ry Mac has also personally helped me get out of analysis paralysis. It's easy to not want to start outreach, but when you do, you see its easy. Keep hustling ya'll, you'll get there if you just follow along. Below it, Angelo Ramos, a paying member: Ry Mac is the man you guys! Even before joining premium he kept adding value like I'm on premium VIP.

Darren Soares posting on the Build Market Close Skool, titled Struggling to get sales, Watch this: I wasted weeks calling people and wish I had seen this video sooner. I'm posting it here because information overload is real, and sometimes we all need a little push in the right direction. If you are trying to get sales and you haven't watched this video, you're holding yourself back. Ry Mac thank you for sharing your knowledge. Jordan Shaw thank you for mentioning this, I didn't realize the information I needed was right in front of my face. Underneath, Nuno Silva: I still hadn't watched this one, it's such a good video. So much relevant information in one small video, and no filler. How is this free Ry Mac I feel like I'm scamming you. — How is this free?

Ot Ratsaphong posting on the Build Market Close Skool, titled I almost skipped RyMac's About Me video. Glad I didn't. 5 likes and 7 comments. In the comments he adds: I'm on the floor at the moment and all your lessons are invaluable to me. Thanks Ry Mac, I'm going to go through your lessons first then I reach out for help. Just watched your videos. — I almost skipped RyMac's About Me video. Glad I didn't. a member who wrote his own post about it Ot Ratsaphong

The body of Ot Ratsaphong's post on the Build Market Close Skool: He's not a tech guy. He's a marketer who spent real money learning to use AI properly and then realized most people don't need to pay for the expensive tools to get started. They need to actually use the free tier well, and only pay when they're ready to implement. That's the opposite of what most AI gurus sell you. I'm building out a coaching practice right now, and that mindset, get good with what's free before you spend a cent is exactly the kind of thing I wish someone told me earlier. It's not just backstory, it's the philosophy behind his approach to sales. If you are runing or starting a small business, you're a seles person. Then go build something with what's free. That's the point. As he says, Go be dangerous! — That's the opposite of what most AI gurus sell you. get good with what's free before you spend a cent Ot Ratsaphong

Carlos Acuna commenting on the Build Market Close Skool, teaching the room something he worked out himself: Amazing Ry Mac, thanks! Since asking back then and reading our artifact and other replies to my original post, I also found a use case for projects inside Cowork. When you start the project, you can connect a folder and then set instructions. You can add your ICM folder to the project, once created you can set the instructions to: Before doing anything, open START-HERE.md and follow it. Then every chat in that project will get initialized correctly. — I also found a use case for projects inside Cowork a member teaching the room, with his own screenshots Carlos Acuna

Jude Doocey commenting on the Pricing Your Offer lesson on the Build Market Close Skool: bro that level of research before meeting or dealing is mental, its clear i havent been performing like the highest level people after watching this lol, i need to do more prepartion when given an opportunity, at what point do you begin your discovery and research on them though? after youve closed them for a meeting? or is that why you targetted the entire industry instead of one company so then your facts apply to everyone automatically? ive only just clocked that, thats so smart — that level of research before meeting or dealing is mental its clear i havent been performing like the highest level people Jude Doocey

Jake Van Clief, the author of the ICM methodology, 62.4 thousand subscribers, pinned comment on the ICM video with 23 likes: Great video my friend! Below it, James Holmes with 21 likes: The desk and folder metaphor made ICM finally click for me. It's refreshing to see a technical concept explained in plain English without unnecessary jargon. Great work translating a complex methodology into something anyone can understand. Then its Diya Roy: The real strength of this video is its clarity. Instead of just explaining concepts, it shows how to actually apply the ICM folder system in everyday use. Then Brandon Andrews: Showing your own mistake with duplicated tree structures and explaining how file drift quietly throws off the AI was super insightful. Thanks for showing the real process, mistakes included. Then Duvan Alejandro: I really liked how you broke down the ICM folder system into something easy to understand. I'd heard about it before, but this is the first time it actually clicked for me. — Great video my friend! Jake Van Clief, who wrote the ICM paper, pinned on Ryan's video on YouTube

And though I understand conceptually about 75% of his content, your explanation gives me a front-line facing the AI firing head-on, deeper know-how of Oh yeah, that does click. It's admirable that you are authentic and don't put on a false persona of being a guru. I've subscribed to your channel. And thank you for your service as a Marine. siab7777: Amazing!

Ot Ratsaphong commenting on the Build Market Close Skool on the post Human + AI Operating System: @Ry Mac I just went through Fred's report. Got my afternoon set out for me. Thank you very much. This is Gold! This is what I need. A system that will help me move forward effectively. Will report back when all tasks are complete. This will be part of my 90-day plan leading up to the end of the year... starting with a clean desk/forder system. — This is Gold! This is what I need. after reading Fred's report Ot Ratsaphong

Pat Kelly aka Kelman commenting on the Build Market Close Skool on the post Playin in my files n' folders...: I’m a bit overwhelmed with all the amazing stuff you’re dropping almost every day @Ry Mac ! I’m really grateful for all of it - I’m just trying to work out a clear plan to put it all together. 😳🤣 — all the amazing stuff you’re dropping almost every day on a files and folders update Pat Kelly aka Kelman

Carla Bosteder commenting on the Build Market Close Skool on the post Monthly or Weekly Live Calls + CRM + Software: @Ry Mac I really appreciate you. You've given me clarity in a few areas that I had been struggling with. Selling my builds to businesses is not something I expect to pursue now. I'm trying to be realistic about what I want to achieve vs. what I could achieve if I went in a different direction. My faith is super important as well as helping others, so I'll stick with what I know. — You've given me clarity in a few areas that I had been struggling with. on the live calls post Carla Bosteder

Adam Smith commenting on the Build Market Close Skool on the post No man left behind: Love it and thank you for sharing. The dime sale increase on each sale is catchy, cool and made me smile. Half considering buying it just to support, but may just upgrade my membership with you instead. I will be getting my own content and Skool going too coming at things from a bit more of a technical perspective but at a laymen level to help support in the ICM ecosystem and beyond. — The dime sale increase on each sale is catchy, cool and made me smile. on the dime sale Adam Smith

Josefa Savu commenting on the Build Market Close Skool on the post How To Set Up ICM Folder System for A Small B...: This is exactly what I needed man, I'm in a similar boat to the person you mentioned at the start of the vid, I'm new to this scaffolding and looking to find ways to provide it as a service but no sure how to not just communicate the value prop to them but how to then apply it for them. So this type of content is very eye opening bro, thank you! — This is exactly what I needed man on setting up ICM for a small business Josefa Savu

Edwin Fernandez commenting on the Build Market Close Skool on the post How To Set Up ICM Folder System for A Small B...: Thanks for the video just what I needed at this time. When we get the client, we get all their basic information first so we can feed it into the AI to make the ICM structure for them. Do you have a template or document you always send to clients, should I just use common sense and AI to generate one of those? — just what I needed at this time on setting up ICM for a small business Edwin Fernandez

Edwin Fernandez commenting on the Build Market Close Skool on the post Introduce Yourself Below (Please & Thank You): Hey RyMac, I stumbled on your YT and liked the way you teach. I got into Jake Van's stuff but so confused and found myself not 'getting it'. Still trying to figure this thing out, I have pieces but trying to make it all click. By click I mean get someone to pay me online or even locally using it. Thanks for the content, diving in. — I stumbled on your YT and liked the way you teach a first hello Edwin Fernandez

Jeff Van Leenen commenting on the Build Market Close Skool on the post The answer was already in my files. I just needed something to read it back...: @Ry Mac thank you very much.

Ray Baker commenting on the Build Market Close Skool on the post Introduce Yourself Below (Please & Thank You): Hey, I’m Ray from the UK (just realised that rhymes) :-) I got here from Clief Notes after seeing your explainer video - great help btw. I’m not in tech but always considered myself pretty good with it especially for someone in their sixties. When I read the posts on Jake’s Skool I realise I am light years behind them over there. — after seeing your explainer video - great help btw Ray from the UK, not in tech Ray Baker

Ray Baker posting on the Build Market Close Skool titled A win for a non-techie (posted 2026-09-21, General discussion): I posted most of this on Clief Notes a few days ago, but my ‘win’ is equally down to what I’ve learned here from @Ry Mac so it should be in here as well. If it helps anyone in anyway, that’s great and if there are any questions, shoot… I look after the finances for 2 small companies. One is a street food business that adores ICM even though they have no clue what it is and have even heard the term. — my ‘win’ is equally down to what I’ve learned here from @Ry Mac a win for a non-techie Ray Baker

Edwin Fernandez posting on the Build Market Close Skool titled ICM starting to click thanks to RyMac's content: I made an attempt setting up an ICM structure on my computer. After that I just prompted the AI with this below, I used a random local company I found with a shitty website: ------ use the ICM Architect skill + reference your current ICM build (Jakes repo and the one you have of the done-for-you folder ) [COMPANY WEBSITE] I'm building an ICM structure for their business above and I want to make a plan for their ICM... — ICM starting to click thanks to RyMac's content a member's post Edwin Fernandez

Nuno Silva posting on the Build Market Close Skool titled The 3 Universal Laws is a great Insight: Just went through the Create Your Offer Using 3 Universal Laws material. This is a really strong start to the course. What clicked for me: the framing that literally any business is breaking at least one of the 3 laws (Speed, Persistence, the Right Message), and usually all 3. That reframes "what do I sell" into "what leak do I fix". Such a simpler way to think about offers. — The 3 Universal Laws is a great Insight on the offer lesson Nuno Silva

Michael Steve commenting on the Build Market Close Skool on the post Stop what you're doing - Watch this Ry Mac video: Amazing content! Thanks @Nuno Silva for highlighting it. This is very similar to an “ecosystem-sync” I run anytime changes are made that might affect 2 or more platforms in my ecosystem. It logs the discrepancies in a log and then synchronizes. It also checks to see that the changes are applied ecosystem wide before it reports. I remembered to comment when I was prompted to run this few moments ago. — Your process @Ry Mac is a more structured one that anyone can use immediately. Great work. Michael Steve

Nuno Silva posting on the Build Market Close Skool titled Woke up to more backlog: Stop posting so much content @Ry Mac . I don't have time to read all of it. Good thing I don't have kids yet, or I wouldn't have any time for them. Who agrees? Jk, keep it up GOAT! — Stop posting so much content I don't have time to read all of it Nuno Silva

E P posting on the Build Market Close Skool titled Blog: Got my first blog post live, used RyMac skill. It wrote a good blog post but ask ai does it made some of it confusing. Had to really fine tune is because it's dealing with laws. Seems kinda important to get that part right.

Shane Walsh posting on the Build Market Close Skool titled great to be here: I found your videos on YT and love the transparency. I started an agency selling specialized landscaper software but it was a hell of a the thing to sell so I pivoted my agency to selling quality sites built with Claude and a maintenance package of $99/month to start. My niche is plumbers, landscapers, electricians that sort of thing. I'm in Ireland but I have a dialler for cold calling guys in the US too. — I found your videos on YT and love the transparency. a first post Shane Walsh

Carlos Acuna posting on the Build Market Close Skool titled FRED is Cool!!! How does he speed up your videos?: @Ry Mac .. I LOVE how you're mid video and say "Fred: speed this up" and thn speed gets to 2x or 8x to make the (interminable) Claude wait short. How are you making sure "Fred" get's the order, and speeds up as needed? Thanks! — FRED is Cool!!! on how Fred speeds up the videos Carlos Acuna

3.voice-check.sh: runs every time Claude stops. Your banned words caught in the files you just touched. Said once. Silent when clean.

4.The 3 lists you edit: your trigger words, your banned words, and your approved links. Plain text, 1 line each.

5.settings-block.json: the lines that wire all 3 in. Claude Code writes them into your settings for you.
