🚀 Start Here: Phase 4.1 - TypeScript/CLI Integration

🔴 HIGH PRIORITY: Add Client-Side Hook Support

File: codex-cli/src/utils/agent/agent-loop.ts

Current Status

The file exists but needs hook integration for client-side event handling.

Your Tasks

Hook Event Handling in Agent Loop
- Add hook event emission from the agent loop
- Integrate with existing event processing
- Handle hook execution status reporting
Client-Side Hook Configuration
- Add hook configuration loading in CLI
- Support for hook enable/disable flags
- Configuration validation and error reporting
Hook Execution Status Reporting
- Display hook execution status in CLI output
- Show hook results and errors to users
- Add debugging information for hook troubleshooting

Implementation Guide

// In agent-loop.ts - add hook event emission
export async function runAgentLoop(options: AgentLoopOptions) {
  // Existing code...

  // Add hook event emission
  if (config.hooks?.enabled) {
    await emitLifecycleEvent({
      type: "session_start",
      session_id: sessionId,
      model: options.model,
      timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
    });
  }

  // TODO: Your implementation here
}

Basic QA Agent Configuration

# qa_agent.py - Basic Magentic-One QA setup
import asyncio
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient
from autogen_ext.teams.magentic_one import MagenticOne
from autogen_agentchat.ui import Console

async def test_hooks_configuration():

task = """
Perform end-to-end testing of lifecycle hooks:
1. Create test hook scripts
2. Configure test webhook endpoints
3. Run Codex with hooks enabled
4. Verify hook execution and results
5. Test error handling scenarios
"""

3. Performance Benchmarking

# Magentic-One task for performance testing
task = """
Benchmark lifecycle hooks performance:
1. Measure hook execution overhead
2. Test with multiple concurrent hooks
3. Analyze memory and CPU usage
4. Generate performance reports

"""

Safety Protocols

Container Isolation

# Run Magentic-One in Docker container
docker run -it --rm \
  -v $(pwd)/workspace:/workspace \
  -v $(pwd)/hooks-config:/config \
  -e OPENAI_API_KEY=$OPENAI_API_KEY \
  magentic-one-qa:latest

Access Restrictions

# Restricted environment configuration
restricted_config = {
    "allowed_domains": ["localhost", "127.0.0.1"],
    "blocked_commands": ["rm", "sudo", "chmod"],
    "max_execution_time": 300,  # 5 minutes
    "workspace_isolation": True
}

Integration with Codex Testing

# codex_qa_integration.py
class CodexHooksQA:
    def __init__(self):
        self.magentic_one = MagenticOne(client=client)

    async def validate_hook_config(self, config_path):
        task = f"Validate hooks configuration at {config_path}"
        return await self.magentic_one.run_stream(task=task)

    async def test_hook_execution(self, hook_type, test_scenario):
        task = f"Test {hook_type} hook with scenario: {test_scenario}"
        return await self.magentic_one.run_stream(task=task)

    async def generate_test_report(self, results):
        task = f"Generate comprehensive test report from: {results}"
        return await self.magentic_one.run_stream(task=task)

💡 Tips for Success

User-First: Think about the developer experience using hooks
Examples Rule: Great examples are worth 1000 words of docs
Test Everything: Test CLI integration with real hook configs
Keep It Simple: Start with basic examples, add complexity later
Visual Aids: Use diagrams and code examples liberally
Error Messages: Make configuration errors helpful and actionable

🎨 Example Hook Script Template

Create this as examples/hooks/templates/basic-script.sh:

#!/bin/bash
# Basic Hook Script Template
# This script receives Codex lifecycle events via environment variables

# Available environment variables:
# CODEX_EVENT_TYPE - The type of lifecycle event
# CODEX_TASK_ID - Current task ID (if applicable)
# CODEX_SESSION_ID - Current session ID
# CODEX_TIMESTAMP - Event timestamp

echo "Hook executed!"
echo "Event: $CODEX_EVENT_TYPE"
echo "Task: $CODEX_TASK_ID"
echo "Session: $CODEX_SESSION_ID"
echo "Time: $CODEX_TIMESTAMP"

# Add your custom logic here
# Examples:
# - Log to a file
# - Send notifications
# - Update external systems
# - Run security checks

You've got this! 🚀
