What are pre/post hooks used for in automated research sessions?▼

Pre/post hooks are used to automate supplementary tasks during research sessions, enabling workflows like searching external APIs before an iteration and notifying team members after a successful run.

Can I integrate external search APIs and notifications into an autoresearch loop?▼

Yes, you can integrate external search APIs and messaging platforms by writing custom hook scripts that execute at iteration boundaries to fetch data and send notifications with minimal manual intervention.

How do I set up scripts to execute automatically during autoresearch iterations?▼

To set up scripts, copy the provided example scripts into the autoresearch.hooks directory, make them executable, and they will run automatically before or after each research iteration to customize session behavior.

Do I need any external dependencies to add notifications to my research workflow?▼

No external dependencies are required to add notifications, as the framework allows you to easily integrate and maintain custom executable scripts within the autoresearch directory to handle side effects like alerts.
