Skill instructions
Related skill: agent-customization. Load and follow hooks.md for template and principles. Guide the user to create a hook in .github/hooks/. Extract from Conversation First, review the conversation history. If the user has been expressing concerns about agent behavior (e.g., "don't run this command", "always check before doing X", "inject this context"), generalize that into a hook. Extract: - Actions that should be blocked or gated - Context that should be injected at certain points - Automation needs at session start/end or tool use Clarify if Needed If no clear policy need emerges from the conversation, clarify: - What event should trigger this hook? (e.g. PreToolUse, SessionStart, Stop) - Should it block, warn, or inject context? - Does it need a companion script? Path Conventions - Hook commands and companion scripts run with cwd defaulting to the workspace root (when a workspace folder is available); otherwise cwd falls back to the user home directory.
