Lifecycle hooks

Lifecycle Hooks

On before_action

Trigger: Fires before the agent executes any action Applies when: Action is a file write, file edit, or shell command

Auto-approve file operations targeting deep-analysis session and cache directories. This allows the deep-analysis workflow to write session files without requiring user approval for each operation.

The implementation logic is in references/auto-approve-da-session.sh. This script:

• Reads action context from stdin as JSON
• Checks if the target path matches .agents/sessions/__da_live__/, .agents/sessions/exploration-cache/, or .agents/sessions/da-*/
• For matching paths: approves the operation automatically
• For non-matching paths: passes through to normal permission flow

Integration Notes

What this component does: Defines automated behavioral rules that were originally enforced by platform lifecycle hooks.

Origin: Converted from 1 lifecycle hook (PreToolUse)

Capabilities needed:

• Event/lifecycle hook system (if the target harness supports one)
• Alternatively, implement as middleware, conditional checks, or manual review steps

Adaptation guidance:

• This behavior was originally enforced automatically by the platform. In the target harness, it may need to be implemented as middleware, event handlers, or manual review steps.
• The script in references/ can be executed directly if the harness supports shell-based hooks.
