What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

File-based agent loop hooks via `.cursor/hooks.json` — pre/post commands, governance gates. Use when enforcing policy without modifying agent prompts.

cursor-hooks

Hooks are file-based, not programmatic. The SDK does not expose JS callbacks for the agent loop — use .cursor/hooks.json and rely on local.settingSources to load them.

When to use

Lint / type-check gates before agent commits
Audit logging or compliance commands after each turn
Fail-fast policies that must run regardless of prompt

Concepts

[[references/file-format]] — .cursor/hooks.json shape
[[references/loading]] — settingSources and project vs user vs team scope
[[references/programmatic-alternatives]] — what to use when you need JS callbacks (onDelta, onStep)
