+Claude Code Hook: Auto-pack session on Stop
+============================================
+
+A `Stop` hook that packs the current Claude Code session JSONL into a
+portable, lossless `.snap.jsonl` artifact when the session ends, then
+drops it at a configured path so it can be handed off to another
+device (iCloud Drive folder, Dropbox, Syncthing dir, etc.).
+
+Read more about hooks: https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/hooks
+Read more about claude-snap: https://github.com/achiii800/claude-snap
+
+WIRING
+------
+This hook is opt-in. To enable, add to `~/.claude/settings.json`
+(adjust the absolute path to wherever you've placed this script):
+
+```json
+{
+  "hooks": {
+    "Stop": [
+      {
+        "hooks": [
+          {
+            "type": "command",
+            "command": "python3 /absolute/path/to/snap_pack_on_stop.py"
+          }
+        ]
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+CONFIGURATION
+-------------
+Optional environment variables:
+
+  CLAUDE_SNAP_DROP_PATH   Directory to write the .snap.jsonl into.
+                          Default: ~/Documents/claude-snaps
+
+  CLAUDE_SNAP_DISABLED    If set to "1", the hook noops. Useful for
+                          temporarily turning auto-pack off without
+                          editing settings.
+
+INSTALL
+-------
+The hook calls the `claude-snap` CLI:
+
+  pip install claude-snap
+
+If `claude-snap` is not on PATH, the hook noops with a stderr
+message — it never crashes Claude Code.
