## About

# cursor-hooks

Hooks are **file-based**, not programmatic. The SDK does not expose JS callbacks for the agent loop — use `.cursor/hooks.json` and rely on `local.settingSources` to load them.

## When to use

- Lint / type-check gates before agent commits
- Audit logging or compliance commands after each turn
- Fail-fast policies that must run regardless of prompt

## Concepts

- [[references/file-format]] — `.cursor/hooks.json` shape
- [[references/loading]] — `settingSources` and project vs user vs team scope
- [[references/programmatic-alternatives]] — what to use when you need JS callbacks (`onDelta`, `onStep`)
