Hook Development

Design and implement Codex guardrail hooks and policy checks using repository automation (scripts/CI/pre-commit) plus AGENTS.md rules. Use when user asks to prevent risky actions, enforce standards, or validate operations before/after changes. Use when this capability is needed.

Hook Development (Codex)

Codex does not use Claude plugin hooks directly. Build equivalent guardrails with repository-native tooling.

Preferred Mechanisms

  1. AGENTS.md for behavioral policy.
  2. Pre-commit/CI checks for enforcement.
  3. Wrapper scripts or Make targets for safe workflows.

Workflow

  1. Define the exact unsafe behavior to catch.
  2. Add deterministic checks (lint/static/security/tests) with clear failure output.
  3. Keep checks fast and scoped.
  4. Add bypass policy only if necessary and auditable.
  5. Document remediation steps for each failure.
