Hooks

Automate actions at every AI step.

Hooks run a shell command or send an HTTP request at key moments — before the AI acts, after a response, when a session starts. Set one up in 3 minutes.

Where do the hooks live?

Hooks saved to your global profile land in ~/.centaurus/hooks.json. Save to Project to commit hooks with your repo in .centaurus/hooks.json.

Every event has a payload

Your hook command receives context about what happened as JSON — which tool ran, what arguments were used, and whether it succeeded. See the full reference in the docs.
