hello-hooks

A tiny Open Plugins plugin that demonstrates goose's hook system. It registers four event handlers — SessionStart, UserPromptSubmit, PreToolUse, and PostToolUse (matched on developer__shell|developer__text_editor) — that each shell out to scripts/announce.sh to print a noticeable line to stderr and append the full event payload to last-event.log next to the plugin.

Try it

Goose discovers plugins under ~/.agents/plugins/<name>/ (user scope) and <project-root>/.agents/plugins/<name>/ (project scope) per the Open Plugins installation spec.

bash

mkdir -p ~/.agents/plugins
cp -R examples/plugins/hello-hooks ~/.agents/plugins/hello-hooks
chmod +x ~/.agents/plugins/hello-hooks/scripts/announce.sh

# Then run goose normally; you should see lines like
# 🚀 [hello-hooks] SessionStart
# 💬 [hello-hooks] UserPromptSubmit
# ⚡ [hello-hooks] PreToolUse tool=developer__shell
# ✅ [hello-hooks] PostToolUse tool=developer__shell
goose session

# Inspect the full payloads goose passed to the hook:
tail ~/.agents/plugins/hello-hooks/last-event.log

To turn the plugin off, add it to disabledPlugins in ~/.config/goose/settings.json:
