# Hooks Documentation Summary
|
|
|
|
## Core Concept
|
|
OpenClaw's hooks system provides an event-driven mechanism for automating actions in response to agent commands and lifecycle events. Hooks are small scripts that run when something happens.
|
|
|
|
## Key Components
|
|
|
|
**Two Hook Categories:**
|
|
- **Hooks**: Run inside the Gateway when agent events fire (like `/new`, `/reset`, `/stop`)
|
|
- **Webhooks**: External HTTP endpoints for triggering work in OpenClaw
|
|
|
|
**Discovery Locations (by precedence):**
|
|
1. Workspace hooks (`<workspace>/hooks/`)
|
|
2. Managed hooks (`~/.openclaw/hooks/`)
|
|
3. Bundled hooks (shipped with OpenClaw)
|
|
|
|
## Structure Requirements
|
|
|
|
Each hook requires:
|
|
- **HOOK.md**: Metadata in YAML frontmatter plus documentation
|
|
- **handler.ts**: TypeScript implementation exporting a `HookHandler` function
|
|
|
|
The metadata object supports fields like `emoji`, `events`, `requires` (for binaries/environment variables), and `homepage`.
|
|
|
|
## Event Types
|
|
|
|
**Command events**: `command:new`, `command:reset`, `command:stop`
|
|
**Agent events**: `agent:bootstrap`
|
|
**Gateway events**: `gateway:startup`
|
|
|
|
## Bundled Hooks
|
|
|
|
Four hooks ship with OpenClaw:
|
|
- **session-memory**: Saves context when `/new` is issued
|
|
- **command-logger**: Audit trail to `~/.openclaw/logs/commands.log`
|
|
- **boot-md**: Executes `BOOT.md` on gateway startup
|
|
- **soul-evil**: Swaps SOUL content during specified windows
|
|
|
|
## Management
|
|
|
|
CLI commands include `openclaw hooks list`, `enable`, `disable`, `info`, and `check` for discovery and eligibility verification.
