To set up Copilot CLI guardrails, you generate preToolUse and postToolUse hook scripts tailored to your tech stack and register them via a hooks.json file. This automates safety rails to block dangerous actions during AI-assisted coding sessions.

PreToolUse and postToolUse hooks are automated scripts that enforce code-quality guardrails before and after tool execution. They block dangerous actions, enforce coding standards, protect secrets, and gate commits during AI-assisted coding workflows.

Yes, you can customize hook templates per language and framework. The skill generates a library of rule templates stored under references/ that can be adapted to your specific tech stack and mapped to your project workflows.

You register generated hook scripts by configuring a hooks.json file in your repository. This ready-to-register workflow file maps the preToolUse and postToolUse guards directly into your project's automated safety rails.

You need to generate project hooks during start-up projects, new codebase creation, or onboarding. It is specifically required when setting up safety rails to protect secrets and gate commits in AI-assisted coding environments.

No external dependencies are required. The hook generation process is entirely self-contained, utilizing templates and references stored within the skill to produce a unified hook runner and cross-project reusable rules.
