FAQPage Schema
How do I automate script execution based on system events?

You can automate script execution by defining custom hook scripts that trigger automatically when predefined system events occur. This event-driven workflow automation requires configuring specific event handlers to intercept and respond to actions like session starts or tool usage.

What is event-driven workflow automation for plugin integration?

Event-driven workflow automation executes custom scripts automatically in response to system events. It facilitates seamless plugin integration by allowing hooks to perform background tasks like logging, analytics, and notifications whenever specific event triggers fire.

How do I set up a hook script for session start tracking?

To set up session start tracking, create a new custom hook script in the tracking_session_start directory. The system will automatically execute this script whenever a new user session begins, enabling you to log or process the event.

Do I need systemprompt-core to run event-driven automation hooks?

Yes, you need the systemprompt-core dependency installed to run these event-driven automation hooks. The core module provides the foundational environment required to process system events and execute your custom hook scripts.

Can I trigger custom scripts on user prompts and tool usage?

Yes, you can trigger custom hook scripts in response to user prompts and tool usage. By defining event handlers for these specific system interactions, you can tailor your workflow automation to execute exactly when those actions occur.

What are the limitations of using hook scripts for system event automation?

The primary limitation of hook scripts for system event automation is the strict requirement for predefined event handlers. Without properly configured event handlers present in the environment, the hook scripts cannot effectively intercept or execute on the triggered system events.
