To create a hook in Cursor, you define event triggers, behaviors, and implementation details in a JSON formatted file. You can place project hooks in the .cursor/hooks/ directory as shell scripts to automate custom logic around agent events.
The Cursor hooks format requires a JSON structure in a hooks.json file that specifies command and prompt hooks. This format defines the scope, trigger events, and behavior for executing custom shell scripts or prompt checks during agent sessions.
Cursor hooks can be triggered by common agent events including session starts, tool usage, file edits, and shell command executions. Matching these events allows you to automate custom logic precisely when specific agent actions occur.
Project hooks are placed in the .cursor/hooks/ directory using shell scripts, while user-specific hooks are managed separately. This separation ensures project-level custom logic is version controlled, whereas user preferences remain isolated.
Yes, shell scripts are used for hook implementation in Cursor. You can create a new project hook by navigating to .cursor/hooks/ and writing a custom shell script, such as my-hook.sh, to define the hook behavior.
Cursor supports both command hooks and prompt checks within its hook management framework. The hooks.json file allows you to define JSON formatting for executing shell scripts as well as validating agent prompts based on specific event triggers.
