Create Cursor hooks. Use to create a hook, write hooks.json, add hook scripts, or automate behavior around agent events.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Creating Cursor Hooks Create hooks when you want Cursor to run custom logic before or after agent events. Hooks are scripts or prompt-based checks that exchange JSON over stdin/stdout and can observe, block, modify, or follow up on behavior. When the user asks for a hook, don't stop at describing the format. Gather the missing requirements, then create or update the hook files directly. ## Gather Requirements Before you write anything, determine: 1. **Scope**: Should this be a project hook or a user hook? 2. **Trigger**: Which event should run the hook? 3. **Behavior**: Should it audit, deny/allow, rewrite input, inject context, or continue a workflow? 4. **Implementation**: Should it be a command hook (script) or a prompt hook? 5. **Filtering**: Does it need a matcher so it only runs for certain tools, commands, or subagent types? 6. **Safety**: Should failures fail open or fail closed? Infer these from the conversation when possible. Only ask for the missing pieces. ## Choose the Right Location - **Project hooks**: `.cursor/hooks.json` and `.cursor/hooks/*` - **User hooks**: `~/.cursor/hooks.json` and `~/.cursor/hooks/*` Path behavior matters: …

How to install
mdr add kensaurus/cursor-kenji/create-hook@sha256:7c5c8339c177eb3cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.cf348bd, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
