+## Lifecycle hooks
+
+Lifecycle hooks allow you to execute custom scripts at different stages of the Codex agent task cycle. This enables powerful integrations with external systems, custom workflows, and automation.
+
+### Quick Start
+
+Add lifecycle hooks to your configuration file (`~/.codex/config.yaml`):
+
+```yaml
+lifecycleHooks:
+  enabled: true
+  hooks:
+    onTaskStart:
+      script: "./hooks/task-start.sh"
+    onTaskComplete:
+      script: "./hooks/task-complete.sh"
+    onCommandStart:
+      script: "./hooks/command-start.sh"
+      filter:
+        commands: ["git", "npm", "docker"]
+```
+
+Create a simple hook script:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# hooks/task-start.sh
+
+echo "🚀 Codex task started!"
+echo "Session: $CODEX_SESSION_ID"
+echo "Model: $CODEX_MODEL"
+
+# Read event data from stdin
+EVENT_DATA=$(cat)
+echo "Event data: $EVENT_DATA"
+
+# Example: Send Slack notification
+# curl -X POST "$SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL" \
+#   -d "{\"text\":\"🚀 Codex task started in $(pwd)\"}"
+
+exit 0
+```
+
+### Hook Types
+
+- **Task-level hooks**: `onTaskStart`, `onTaskComplete`, `onTaskError`
+- **Command-level hooks**: `onCommandStart`, `onCommandComplete`
+- **Code-level hooks**: `onPatchApply`
+- **Agent-level hooks**: `onAgentMessage`, `onAgentReasoning`
+
+### Common Use Cases
+
+- **Git integration**: Auto-commit changes after successful tasks
+- **Notifications**: Send Slack/Discord alerts for deployments
+- **Quality gates**: Run linting/testing after code patches
+- **Metrics**: Collect usage analytics and performance data
+- **CI/CD integration**: Trigger builds and deployments
+
+### Advanced Filtering
+
+Hooks support sophisticated filtering:
+
+```yaml
+onCommandComplete:
+  script: "./hooks/deployment-notify.sh"
+  filter:
+    commands: ["docker", "kubectl"]
+    exitCodes: [0]  # Only successful commands
+    durationRange:
+      min: 5000  # Only long-running commands
+    timeRange:
+      start: "09:00"
+      end: "17:00"
+      daysOfWeek: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]  # Weekdays only
+    customExpression: "command.includes('production')"
+```

+# Lifecycle Hooks Quick Start Guide
+
+Get started with Codex CLI lifecycle hooks in 5 minutes!
+
+## What are Lifecycle Hooks?
+
+Lifecycle hooks let you run custom scripts at different points during Codex execution:
+- When tasks start/complete
+- Before/after commands run
+- When code patches are applied
+- When the agent sends messages
+
+## Quick Setup
+
+### 1. Enable Hooks in Configuration
+
+Add this to your `~/.codex/config.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+lifecycleHooks:
+  enabled: true
+  hooks:
+    onTaskStart:
+      script: "./hooks/task-start.sh"
+    onTaskComplete:
+      script: "./hooks/task-complete.sh"
+```
+
+### 2. Create Your First Hook
+
+Create a `hooks` directory in your project:
+
+```bash
+mkdir hooks
+```
+
+Create `hooks/task-start.sh`:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+echo "🚀 Codex task started!"
+echo "Session: $CODEX_SESSION_ID"
+echo "Model: $CODEX_MODEL"
+
+# Read event data
+EVENT_DATA=$(cat)
+echo "Event data: $EVENT_DATA"
+
+# Example: Log to file
+echo "$(date): Task started" >> ~/.codex/activity.log
+
+exit 0
+```
+
+Create `hooks/task-complete.sh`:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+echo "✅ Codex task completed!"
+
+# Read event data
+EVENT_DATA=$(cat)
+SUCCESS=$(echo "$EVENT_DATA" | jq -r '.success // false')
+
+if [ "$SUCCESS" = "true" ]; then
+    echo "🎉 Task was successful!"
+    
+    # Example: Auto-commit changes
+    if git rev-parse --git-dir > /dev/null 2>&1; then
+        git add .
+        git commit -m "Codex: Automated changes" || echo "No changes to commit"
+    fi
+else
+    echo "⚠️ Task had issues"
+fi
+
+exit 0
+```
+
+### 3. Make Scripts Executable
+
+```bash
+chmod +x hooks/*.sh
+```
+
+### 4. Test Your Hooks
+
+Run any Codex command and watch your hooks execute:
+
+```bash
+codex "create a simple hello world script"
+```
+
+You should see your hook messages in the output!
+
+## Common Use Cases
+
+### Git Integration
+
+Auto-commit successful changes:
+
+```yaml
+lifecycleHooks:
+  enabled: true
+  hooks:
+    onTaskComplete:
+      script: "./hooks/git-commit.sh"
+      filter:
+        customExpression: "eventData.success === true"
+```
+
+### Slack Notifications
+
+Get notified about deployments:
+
+```yaml
+lifecycleHooks:
+  enabled: true
+  environment:
+    SLACK_WEBHOOK: "https://hooks.slack.com/your/webhook/url"
+  hooks:
+    onCommandComplete:
+      script: "./hooks/slack-notify.sh"
+      filter:
+        commands: ["docker", "kubectl", "npm run deploy"]
+```
+
+### Code Quality
+
+Run linting after code changes:
+
+```yaml
+lifecycleHooks:
+  enabled: true
+  hooks:
+    onPatchApply:
+      script: "./hooks/lint-check.sh"
+      filter:
+        fileExtensions: ["ts", "js", "tsx", "jsx"]
+```
+
+## Hook Script Basics
+
+### Environment Variables Available
+
+- `CODEX_EVENT_TYPE`: Type of event (task_start, command_complete, etc.)
+- `CODEX_SESSION_ID`: Unique session identifier
+- `CODEX_MODEL`: AI model being used
+- `CODEX_WORKING_DIR`: Current working directory
+- `CODEX_COMMAND`: Command being executed (for command hooks)
+- `CODEX_EXIT_CODE`: Command exit code (for completion hooks)
+
+### Event Data via STDIN
+
+Your script receives detailed JSON data via STDIN:
+
+```bash
+# Read and parse event data
+EVENT_DATA=$(cat)
+COMMAND=$(echo "$EVENT_DATA" | jq -r '.command | join(" ")')
+SUCCESS=$(echo "$EVENT_DATA" | jq -r '.success // false')
+```
+
+### Exit Codes
+
+- `0`: Success, continue normally
+- `1`: Warning, log but continue
+- `2`: Error, abort operation (use sparingly)
+
+## Advanced Features
+
+### Filtering
+
+Only run hooks when specific conditions are met:
+
+```yaml
+onCommandComplete:
+  script: "./hooks/deployment-notify.sh"
+  filter:
+    commands: ["docker", "kubectl"]
+    exitCodes: [0]  # Only successful commands
+    durationRange:
+      min: 5000  # Only long-running commands
+    timeRange:
+      start: "09:00"
+      end: "17:00"
+      daysOfWeek: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]  # Weekdays only
+```
+
+### Custom Expressions
+
+Use JavaScript for complex filtering:
+
+```yaml
+filter:
+  customExpression: |
+    exitCode === 0 && 
+    command.join(' ').includes('production') &&
+    workingDirectory.includes('critical')
+```
+
+### Async Execution
+
+Run hooks without blocking Codex:
+
+```yaml
+onTaskComplete:
+  script: "./hooks/slow-operation.sh"
+  async: true  # Don't wait for completion
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Hook Not Running?
+
+1. Check if hooks are enabled: `lifecycleHooks.enabled: true`
+2. Verify script path exists and is executable: `chmod +x script.sh`
+3. Check filters aren't excluding your use case
+4. Look for errors in Codex output
+
+### Script Errors?
+
+1. Test script independently: `./hooks/your-script.sh`
+2. Check script syntax and dependencies
+3. Verify JSON parsing if using event data
+4. Add error handling: `set -e` for bash scripts
+
+### Need Help?
+
+- See full documentation: [Lifecycle Hooks Documentation](./lifecycle-hooks.md)
+- Check examples: [Example Scripts](../examples/hooks/)
+- Review test cases: [Test Files](../tests/)
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Explore Examples**: Check out `codex-cli/examples/hooks/` for more scripts
+2. **Read Full Docs**: See `lifecycle-hooks.md` for complete documentation
+3. **Join Community**: Share your hooks and get help from other users
+4. **Contribute**: Submit your useful hooks as examples for others
+
+Happy automating! 🚀

+
+## Overview
+
+Lifecycle hooks are user-defined scripts that execute at specific points during Codex agent execution:
+
+- **Task-level hooks**: Execute when tasks start, complete, or encounter errors
+- **Command-level hooks**: Execute before and after individual command execution
+- **Code-level hooks**: Execute when code patches are applied
+- **Agent-level hooks**: Execute when the agent sends messages or provides reasoning
+
+Hooks receive context data via environment variables and STDIN, allowing them to make decisions and take actions based on the current state.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Add lifecycle hooks to your Codex configuration file (`~/.codex/config.yaml`):
+
+```yaml
+lifecycleHooks:
+  enabled: true
+  timeout: 30000  # Default timeout in milliseconds
+  workingDirectory: "."  # Relative to project root
+  
+  # Global environment variables for all hooks
+  environment:
+    PROJECT_NAME: "${PWD##*/}"
+    TEAM_WEBHOOK: "${SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL}"
+  
+  hooks:
+    onTaskStart:
+      script: "./hooks/task-start.sh"
+      async: false
+      
+    onTaskComplete:
+      script: "./hooks/task-complete.sh"
+      async: true
+      
+    onCommandStart:
+      script: "./hooks/command-start.sh"
+      filter:
+        commands: ["git", "npm", "docker"]
+```
+
+### Configuration Options

+Each hook can be configured with:
+
+| Option | Type | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| `script` | string | Path to the script to execute |
+| `async` | boolean | Whether to execute asynchronously (default: false) |
+| `timeout` | number | Hook-specific timeout (overrides global) |
+| `filter` | object | Filtering criteria for when to execute |
+| `environment` | object | Hook-specific environment variables |
+
+## Hook Types
+
+### Task-Level Hooks

+- **`onAgentReasoning`**: Executed when the agent provides reasoning
+- **`onMcpToolCall`**: Executed when MCP tools are called
+
+## Hook Script Interface
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+All hooks receive standard environment variables:
+
+| Variable | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| `CODEX_EVENT_TYPE` | Type of event that triggered the hook |
+| `CODEX_SESSION_ID` | Unique session identifier |
+| `CODEX_MODEL` | AI model being used |
+| `CODEX_WORKING_DIR` | Current working directory |
+| `CODEX_TIMEOUT` | Hook execution timeout |
+
+Command-specific variables:
+
+| Variable | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| `CODEX_COMMAND` | Command being executed (for command hooks) |
+| `CODEX_EXIT_CODE` | Command exit code (for completion hooks) |
+| `CODEX_CALL_ID` | Unique call identifier |
+
+### STDIN Data
+
+Hooks receive detailed event data via STDIN as JSON:
+
+```json
+{
+  "command": ["git", "status"],
+  "workdir": "/path/to/project",
+  "exitCode": 0,
+  "durationMs": 1234,
+  "success": true
+}
+```
+
+### Exit Codes
+
+Hook scripts should use these exit codes:
+
+- **0**: Success, continue normally
+- **1**: Warning, log but continue
+- **2**: Error, abort current operation (use sparingly)
+
+### Example Hook Script
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+# Read event data from STDIN
+EVENT_DATA=$(cat)
+
+# Access environment variables
+echo "Hook: $CODEX_EVENT_TYPE"
+echo "Session: $CODEX_SESSION_ID"
+echo "Command: $CODEX_COMMAND"
+
+# Process event data
+COMMAND=$(echo "$EVENT_DATA" | jq -r '.command | join(" ")')
+EXIT_CODE=$(echo "$EVENT_DATA" | jq -r '.exitCode // 0')
+
+# Take action based on data
+if [ "$EXIT_CODE" = "0" ]; then
+    echo "Command succeeded: $COMMAND"
+else
+    echo "Command failed: $COMMAND (exit code: $EXIT_CODE)"
+fi
+
+exit 0
+```
+
+## Filtering
+
+Hooks can be filtered to execute only under specific conditions:
+
+### Basic Filters
+
+```yaml
+filter:
+  commands: ["git", "npm"]           # Command name patterns
+  exitCodes: [0]                     # Specific exit codes
+  messageTypes: ["response"]         # Agent message types
+  workingDirectories: ["**/src/**"]  # Directory patterns
+```
+
+### Advanced Filters
+
+```yaml
+filter:
+  fileExtensions: ["ts", "js"]       # File extensions (for patch hooks)
+  durationRange:                     # Execution duration
+    min: 1000
+    max: 10000
+  timeRange:                         # Time-based filtering
+    start: "09:00"
+    end: "17:00"
+    daysOfWeek: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]     # Monday-Friday
+  environment:                       # Environment variable matching
+    NODE_ENV: "production"
+  customExpression: "exitCode === 0 && command.includes('deploy')"
+```
+
+### Custom Expressions
+
+Custom expressions provide powerful filtering using JavaScript:
+
+```yaml
+filter:
+  customExpression: |
+    exitCode === 0 && 
+    command.join(' ').includes('test') && 
+    workingDirectory.includes('critical')
+```
+
+Available variables in expressions:
+- `context`: Full hook context
+- `eventData`: Event-specific data
+- `command`: Command array
+- `exitCode`: Command exit code
+- `workingDirectory`: Current directory
+- `sessionId`: Session identifier
+- `model`: AI model name
+- `env`: Environment variables
+
+## Examples
+
+### Git Integration
+
+Auto-commit changes after successful tasks:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# hooks/auto-commit.sh
+
+if [ "$CODEX_EVENT_TYPE" = "task_complete" ]; then
+    EVENT_DATA=$(cat)
+    SUCCESS=$(echo "$EVENT_DATA" | jq -r '.success // false')
+    
+    if [ "$SUCCESS" = "true" ] && git rev-parse --git-dir > /dev/null 2>&1; then
+        git add .
+        git commit -m "Codex: Automated changes from session $CODEX_SESSION_ID"
+    fi
+fi
+```
+
+### Slack Notifications
+
+Send notifications for deployment commands:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# hooks/slack-notify.sh
+
+if [[ "$CODEX_COMMAND" =~ ^(docker|kubectl|helm) ]]; then
+    EVENT_DATA=$(cat)
+    SUCCESS=$(echo "$EVENT_DATA" | jq -r '.success // false')
+    
+    if [ "$SUCCESS" = "true" ]; then
+        MESSAGE="✅ Deployment successful: $CODEX_COMMAND"
+    else
+        MESSAGE="❌ Deployment failed: $CODEX_COMMAND"
+    fi
+    
+    curl -X POST "$SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL" \
+        -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+        -d "{\"text\":\"$MESSAGE\"}"
+fi
+```
+
+### Code Quality Checks
+
+Run linting after code changes:
+
+```python
+#!/usr/bin/env python3
+# hooks/quality-check.py
+
+import json
+import sys
+import subprocess
+import os
+
+# Read event data
+event_data = json.load(sys.stdin)
+
+if os.environ.get('CODEX_EVENT_TYPE') == 'patch_apply':
+    files = event_data.get('files', [])
+    
+    # Check if any TypeScript/JavaScript files were modified
+    js_files = [f for f in files if f.endswith(('.ts', '.tsx', '.js', '.jsx'))]
+    
+    if js_files:
+        print("Running ESLint on modified files...")
+        result = subprocess.run(['npx', 'eslint'] + js_files, 
+                              capture_output=True, text=True)
+        
+        if result.returncode != 0:
+            print("Linting failed:")
+            print(result.stdout)
+            print(result.stderr)
+            sys.exit(1)
+        else:
+            print("Linting passed!")
+
+sys.exit(0)
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Security
+
+1. **Validate inputs**: Always validate data from STDIN and environment variables
+2. **Use absolute paths**: Avoid relative paths in hook scripts
+3. **Limit permissions**: Run hooks with minimal required permissions
+4. **Sanitize commands**: Be careful when executing commands with user data
+
+### Performance
+
+1. **Use async hooks**: For non-critical operations, use `async: true`
+2. **Set appropriate timeouts**: Prevent hanging with reasonable timeouts
+3. **Filter effectively**: Use filters to avoid unnecessary hook executions
+4. **Cache results**: Cache expensive operations when possible
+
+### Reliability
+
+1. **Handle errors gracefully**: Don't let hook failures break Codex
+2. **Log appropriately**: Use structured logging for debugging
+3. **Test thoroughly**: Test hooks with various scenarios
+4. **Monitor execution**: Track hook performance and failures
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+#### Hook Not Executing
+
+1. Check if hooks are enabled: `lifecycleHooks.enabled: true`
+2. Verify script path is correct and file exists
+3. Ensure script has execute permissions: `chmod +x script.sh`
+4. Check filters - they might be excluding your use case
+
+#### Hook Timing Out
+
+1. Increase timeout in configuration
+2. Optimize hook script performance
+3. Use async execution for long-running operations
+4. Check for infinite loops or blocking operations
+
+#### Permission Errors
+
+1. Verify script file permissions
+2. Check working directory permissions
+3. Ensure required tools are installed and accessible
+4. Review environment variable access
