Summary

A tutorial on agent hooks that extend frameworks and CLIs with custom controls for deterministic behavior instead of relying on prompt instructions.

Agent hooks extend frameworks and CLIs with custom controls, turning repeatable rules into deterministic behavior instead of prompt instructions the model has to remember. Understanding them gives you leverage that prompt-engineering skills never will. I documented a deep dive with working examples and a demo repo here in this tutorial to get you started.

The article argues that AI agent development should rely on stable execution primitives rather than rigid frameworks, which frequently change with emerging orchestration patterns. It emphasizes durable steps, persistent state, parallel coordination, event-driven flow, and observability to prevent costly rewrites as best practices evolve.
