+# Qwen Code Hooks Documentation
+
+## Overview
+
+Qwen Code hooks provide a powerful mechanism for extending and customizing the behavior of the Qwen Code application. Hooks allow users to execute custom scripts or programs at specific points in the application lifecycle, such as before tool execution, after tool execution, at session start/end, and during other key events.
+
+Hooks are enabled by default. You can temporarily disable all hooks by setting `disableAllHooks` to `true` in your settings file (at the top level, alongside `hooks`):
+
+```json
+{
+  "disableAllHooks": true,
+  "hooks": {
+    "PreToolUse": [...]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This disables all hooks without deleting their configurations.
+
+## What are Hooks?
+
+Hooks are user-defined scripts or programs that are automatically executed by Qwen Code at predefined points in the application flow. They allow users to:
+
+- Monitor and audit tool usage
+- Enforce security policies
+- Inject additional context into conversations
+- Customize application behavior based on events
+- Integrate with external systems and services
+- Modify tool inputs or responses programmatically
+
+## Hook Architecture
+
+The Qwen Code hook system consists of several key components:
+
+1. **Hook Registry**: Stores and manages all configured hooks
+2. **Hook Planner**: Determines which hooks should run for each event
+3. **Hook Runner**: Executes individual hooks with proper context
+4. **Hook Aggregator**: Combines results from multiple hooks
+5. **Hook Event Handler**: Coordinates the firing of hooks for events
+
+## Hook Events
+
+Hooks fire at specific points during a Qwen Code session. When an event fires and a matcher matches, Qwen Code passes JSON context about the event to your hook handler. For command hooks, input arrives on stdin. Your handler can inspect the input, take action, and optionally return a decision. Some events fire once per session, while others fire repeatedly inside the agentic loop.

+
+## Input/Output Rules
+
+### Hook Input Structure
+
+All hooks receive standardized input in JSON format through stdin. Common fields included in every hook event:
+
+```json
+{
+  "session_id": "string",
+  "transcript_path": "string",
+  "cwd": "string",
+  "hook_event_name": "string",
+  "timestamp": "string"
+}
+```
+
+Event-specific fields are added based on the hook type. Below are the event-specific fields for each hook event:
+
+### Individual Hook Event Details
+
+#### PreToolUse
+
+**Purpose**: Executed before a tool is used to allow for permission checks, input validation, or context injection.
+
+**Event-specific fields**:
+
+```json
+{
+  "permission_mode": "default | plan | auto_edit | yolo",
+  "tool_name": "name of the tool being executed",
+  "tool_input": "object containing the tool's input parameters",
+  "tool_use_id": "unique identifier for this tool use instance"
+}
+```
+
+**Output Options**:
+
+- `hookSpecificOutput.permissionDecision`: "allow", "deny", or "ask" (REQUIRED)
+- `hookSpecificOutput.permissionDecisionReason`: explanation for the decision (REQUIRED)
+- `hookSpecificOutput.updatedInput`: modified tool input parameters to use instead of original
+- `hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext`: additional context information
+
+**Note**: While standard hook output fields like `decision` and `reason` are technically supported by the underlying class, the official interface expects the `hookSpecificOutput` with `permissionDecision` and `permissionDecisionReason`.
+
+**Example Output**:
+
+```json
+{
+  "hookSpecificOutput": {
+    "hookEventName": "PreToolUse",
+    "permissionDecision": "allow",
+    "permissionDecisionReason": "My reason here",
+    "updatedInput": {
+      "field_to_modify": "new value"
+    },
+    "additionalContext": "Current environment: production. Proceed with caution."
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### PostToolUse
+
+**Purpose**: Executed after a tool completes successfully to process results, log outcomes, or inject additional context.
+
+**Event-specific fields**:
+
+```json
+{
+  "permission_mode": "default | plan | auto_edit | yolo",
+  "tool_name": "name of the tool that was executed",

+- `reason`: human-readable explanation for the decision
+- `hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext`: additional context to append to the prompt (optional)
+
+**Note**: Since UserPromptSubmitOutput extends HookOutput, all standard fields are available but only additionalContext in hookSpecificOutput is specifically defined for this event.
+
+**Example Output**:
+
+```json
+{
+  "decision": "allow",
+  "reason": "Prompt reviewed and approved",

+
+## Hook Configuration
+
+Hooks are configured in Qwen Code settings, typically in `.qwen/settings.json` or user configuration files:
+
+```json
+{
+  "hooks": {
+    "PreToolUse": [
+      {
+        "matcher": "^bash$", // Regex to match tool names
+        "sequential": false, // Whether to run hooks sequentially
+        "hooks": [
+          {
+            "type": "command",
+            "command": "/path/to/script.sh",
+            "name": "security-check",
+            "description": "Run security checks before tool execution",
+            "timeout": 30000
+          }
+        ]
+      }
+    ],
+    "SessionStart": [
+      {
+        "hooks": [
+          {
+            "type": "command",
+            "command": "echo 'Session started'",
+            "name": "session-init"
+          }
+        ]
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Matcher Patterns
+
+Matchers allow filtering hooks based on context. Not all hook events support matchers:
+
+| Event Type          | Events                                                                 | Matcher Support | Matcher Target (Values)                                                                |
+| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Tool Events         | `PreToolUse`, `PostToolUse`, `PostToolUseFailure`, `PermissionRequest` | ✅ Yes (regex)  | Tool name: `bash`, `read_file`, `write_file`, `edit`, `glob`, `grep_search`, etc.      |
+| Subagent Events     | `SubagentStart`, `SubagentStop`                                        | ✅ Yes (regex)  | Agent type: `Bash`, `Explorer`, etc.                                                   |
+| Session Events      | `SessionStart`                                                         | ✅ Yes (regex)  | Source: `startup`, `resume`, `clear`, `compact`                                        |
+| Session Events      | `SessionEnd`                                                           | ✅ Yes (regex)  | Reason: `clear`, `logout`, `prompt_input_exit`, `bypass_permissions_disabled`, `other` |
+| Notification Events | `Notification`                                                         | ✅ Yes (exact)  | Type: `permission_prompt`, `idle_prompt`, `auth_success`                               |
+| Compact Events      | `PreCompact`                                                           | ✅ Yes (exact)  | Trigger: `manual`, `auto`                                                              |
+| Prompt Events       | `UserPromptSubmit`                                                     | ❌ No           | N/A                                                                                    |
+| Stop Events         | `Stop`                                                                 | ❌ No           | N/A                                                                                    |
+
+**Matcher Syntax**:
+
+- Regex pattern matched against the target field
+- Empty string `""` or `"*"` matches all events of that type
+- Standard regex syntax supported (e.g., `^bash$`, `read.*`, `(bash|run_shell_command)`)
+
+**Examples**:
+
+```json
+{
+  "hooks": {
+    "PreToolUse": [
+      {
+        "matcher": "^bash$",           // Only match bash tool
+        "hooks": [...]
+      },
+      {
+        "matcher": "read.*",           // Match read_file, read_multiple_files, etc.
+        "hooks": [...]
+      },
+      {
+        "matcher": "",                 // Match all tools (same as "*" or omitting matcher)
+        "hooks": [...]
+      }
+    ],
+    "SubagentStart": [
+      {
+        "matcher": "^(Bash|Explorer)$", // Only match Bash and Explorer agents
+        "hooks": [...]
+      }
+    ],
+    "SessionStart": [
+      {
+        "matcher": "^(startup|resume)$", // Only match startup and resume sources
+        "hooks": [...]
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Hook Execution
+
+### Parallel vs Sequential Execution
+
+- By default, hooks execute in parallel for better performance
+- Use `sequential: true` in hook definition to enforce order-dependent execution
+- Sequential hooks can modify input for subsequent hooks in the chain
+
+### Security Model
+
+- Hooks run in the user's environment with user privileges
+- Project-level hooks require trusted folder status
+- Timeouts prevent hanging hooks (default: 60 seconds)
+
+### Exit Codes
+
+Hook scripts communicate their result through exit codes:
+
+| Exit Code | Meaning            | Behavior                                        |
+| --------- | ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------- |
+| `0`       | Success            | stdout/stderr not shown                         |
+| `2`       | Blocking error     | Show stderr to model and block tool call        |
+| Other     | Non-blocking error | Show stderr to user only but continue tool call |
+
+**Examples**:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+# Success (exit 0 is default, can be omitted)
+echo '{"decision": "allow"}'
+exit 0
+
+# Blocking error - prevents operation
+echo "Dangerous operation blocked by security policy" >&2
+exit 2
+```
+
+> **Note**: If no exit code is specified, the script defaults to `0` (success).
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Example 1: Security Validation Hook
+
+A PreToolUse hook that logs and potentially blocks dangerous commands:
+
+**security_check.sh**
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+# Read input from stdin
+INPUT=$(cat)
+
+# Parse the input to extract tool info
+TOOL_NAME=$(echo "$INPUT" | jq -r '.tool_name')
+TOOL_INPUT=$(echo "$INPUT" | jq -r '.tool_input')
+
+# Check for potentially dangerous operations
+if echo "$TOOL_INPUT" | grep -qiE "(rm.*-rf|mv.*\/|chmod.*777)"; then
+  echo '{
+    "decision": "deny",
+    "reason": "Potentially dangerous operation detected",
+    "hookSpecificOutput": {
+      "hookEventName": "PreToolUse",
+      "permissionDecision": "deny",
+      "permissionDecisionReason": "Dangerous command blocked by security policy"
+    }
+  }'
+  exit 2  # Blocking error
+fi
+
+# Allow the operation with a log
+echo "INFO: Tool $TOOL_NAME executed safely at $(date)" >> /var/log/qwen-security.log
+
+# Allow with additional context
+echo '{
+  "decision": "allow",
+  "reason": "Operation approved by security checker",
+  "hookSpecificOutput": {
+    "hookEventName": "PreToolUse",
+    "permissionDecision": "allow",
+    "permissionDecisionReason": "Security check passed",
+    "additionalContext": "Command approved by security policy"
+  }
+}'
+exit 0
+```
+
+Configure in `.qwen/settings.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "hooks": {
+    "PreToolUse": [
+      {
+        "hooks": [
+          {

+### Example 2: User Prompt Validation Hook
+
+A UserPromptSubmit hook that validates user prompts for sensitive information and provides context for long prompts:
+
+**prompt_validator.py**
+
+```python
+import json
+import sys
+import re
+
+# Load input from stdin
+try:
+    input_data = json.load(sys.stdin)
+except json.JSONDecodeError as e:
+    print(f"Error: Invalid JSON input: {e}", file=sys.stderr)
+    exit(1)
+
+user_prompt = input_data.get("prompt", "")
+
+# Sensitive words list
+sensitive_words = ["password", "secret", "token", "api_key"]
+
+# Check for sensitive information
+for word in sensitive_words:
+    if re.search(rf"\b{word}\b", user_prompt.lower()):
+        # Block prompts containing sensitive information
+        output = {
+            "decision": "block",
+            "reason": f"Prompt contains sensitive information '{word}'. Please remove sensitive content and resubmit.",
+            "hookSpecificOutput": {
+                "hookEventName": "UserPromptSubmit"
+            }
+        }
+        print(json.dumps(output))
+        exit(0)
+
+# Check prompt length and add warning context if too long
+if len(user_prompt) > 1000:
+    output = {
+        "hookSpecificOutput": {
+            "hookEventName": "UserPromptSubmit",
+            "additionalContext": "Note: User submitted a long prompt. Please read carefully and ensure all requirements are understood."
+        }
+    }
+    print(json.dumps(output))
+    exit(0)
+
+# No processing needed for normal cases
+exit(0)
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- Check application logs for hook execution details
+- Verify hook script permissions and executability
+- Ensure proper JSON formatting in hook outputs
+- Use specific matcher patterns to avoid unintended hook execution
