+- `infernoflow install-cursor-hooks` — Cursor Agent hooks append assistant replies to `inferno/CONTEXT.draft.md`; `infernoflow init --cursor-hooks`.
+- `infernoflow install-vscode-copilot-hooks` — VS Code + GitHub Copilot agent hooks (Preview) via `.github/hooks/`; `infernoflow init --vscode-copilot-hooks`.
+- Shared draft tooling: `scripts/inferno-promote-draft.mjs`, `.gitignore` entry for `inferno/CONTEXT.draft.md`.
+- `lib/draftToolingInstall.mjs` — shared installer logic for promote script and gitignore.

+### Cursor hooks (draft → promote)
+
+[Cursor hooks](https://cursor.com/docs/agent/hooks) can run a small Node script after each assistant message. infernoflow can install:
+
+- **`.cursor/hooks.json`** — `afterAgentResponse` and `stop` events
+- **`.cursor/hooks/inferno-session-draft.mjs`** — appends assistant `text` to **`inferno/CONTEXT.draft.md`** (never overwrites `CONTEXT.md` automatically)
+- **`scripts/inferno-promote-draft.mjs`** + **`npm run inferno:promote-draft`** — preview, `--append-notes` (merge under `## Decisions & notes` in `inferno/CONTEXT.md`), or `--clear`
+- **`.gitignore`** entry for `inferno/CONTEXT.draft.md` when possible
+
+Install with **`infernoflow install-cursor-hooks`** or **`infernoflow init --cursor-hooks`**. Restart Cursor after install. Review the draft before promoting; treat chat as **input**, not product truth.
+
+### VS Code + GitHub Copilot hooks (draft → promote, Preview)
+
+VS Code can run [Agent hooks](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/customization/hooks) from **`.github/hooks/*.json`**. infernoflow installs:
+
+- **`.github/hooks/infernoflow-drafts.json`** — wires **`UserPromptSubmit`** (your prompt) and **`Stop`** (end of agent turn)
+- **`scripts/inferno-vscode-copilot-hook.mjs`** — appends the user prompt on submit; on **Stop**, reads **`transcript_path`** from stdin (when present), parses **JSONL** or session **JSON**, and appends the **last assistant text** it can infer (format varies by VS Code / Copilot version — if parsing fails, a short marker is still appended)
+- The same **`inferno:promote-draft`** script and **`.gitignore`** entry for **`inferno/CONTEXT.draft.md`** as the Cursor flow
+
+Install with **`infernoflow install-vscode-copilot-hooks`** or **`infernoflow init --vscode-copilot-hooks`**. Restart VS Code, confirm your org allows hooks, and use the **GitHub Copilot Chat Hooks** output channel for diagnostics.
+
+**Limitations:** Hooks are **Preview**; `transcript_path` / JSONL shape may differ by build; some hook events omit `transcript_path` ([vscode#300583](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/300583)). You still have the full **`infernoflow`** CLI in the terminal when hooks are not enough.
