Create and manage Cursor hooks to run custom logic before or after agent events.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create Cursor hooks for event-driven automation?▼

You create Cursor hooks by defining script or prompt hooks in project-level or user-level hooks.json files to run custom logic before or after agent events.

What events can I target with Cursor hooks?▼

Cursor hooks support events such as preToolUse, beforeShellExecution, and afterFileEdit, enabling you to filter tool usage, gate shell commands, or post-process file modifications.

Can I use both scripts and prompts for Cursor hooks?▼

Yes, Cursor hooks support both script-based and prompt-based implementations to enforce policies, audit steps, or modify agent prompts based on the documented hooks.json format.

What is the difference between project hooks and user hooks?▼

Project hooks are defined using the .cursor/hooks directory and project-level hooks.json, while user hooks operate at the user level to manage custom logic for agent events.

How do I ensure my hooks.json schema is valid?▼

The Skill enforces the Cursor hooks schema and provides guidance for safe implementation, ensuring your script or prompt hooks are correctly formatted within the documented hooks.json structure.

When should I use beforeShellExecution hooks?▼

Use beforeShellExecution hooks to gate shell command executions, allowing you to enforce policies or audit steps before an agent runs custom logic during an event.
