## Writing Hooks

See [docs/hooks.md](../../docs/hooks.md) for full documentation.

```typescript
import type { HookAPI } from "@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent/hooks";

export default function (pi: HookAPI) {
  // Subscribe to events
  pi.on("tool_call", async (event, ctx) => {
    if (event.toolName === "bash" && event.input.command?.includes("rm -rf")) {
      const ok = await ctx.ui.confirm("Dangerous!", "Allow rm -rf?");
      if (!ok) return { block: true, reason: "Blocked by user" };
    }
  });

  // Register custom commands
  pi.registerCommand("hello", {
    description: "Say hello",
    handler: async (args, ctx) => {
      ctx.ui.notify("Hello!", "info");
    },
  });
}
```
