Hooks

Scripts your harness runs before or after a step: block risky commands, check for secrets, enforce commit messages, and format or lint after an edit.

8 shown here, from 652 hooks in the library release of October 9, 2026.

What to watch for

  • A hook runs with your permissions, so read its declared effects first.
  • A pre-commit check is cheaper than a reverted push.
  • Hooks that read secrets should only check for them, never print them.
