# default

Enables a Hook or Preset when no enablement has been saved.

Optional on Hooks **and** Presets. Marks the entry as enabled **by default**—but
only when the session has no saved `enabledEntries` set:

<!-- docs-example:valid -->

```json
{
  "local": {
    "no-env-access": {
      "description": "Blocks reads and writes to .env files.",
      "event": "tool_call",
      "shell": "false",
      "default": true
    }
  }
}
```

- **Type** `boolean` · optional · default `false` · Hooks and Presets
- With **no saved enablement**, current `default: true` entries are enabled.
  A saved set, including an empty one, overrides defaults on resume, reload,
  tree navigation, fork, and clone.
- The `default` toggle is a **local preference, never a repo-driven change**:
  repository outdated detection excludes it, so updating preserves the
  current preference. [Presets and sources](presets-sources.md)
  describes default-derived enablement and restoration.
