Creating a VS Code agent hook to respond to file changes

Read Original

This article explains how to use VS Code's new agent hooks feature to automate actions in response to specific events during an agent session. It covers the concept of deterministic agent hooks, lists available hook events (e.g., PostToolUse, SessionStart), and provides a practical example: setting up a hook to regenerate TypeScript types whenever a wrangler.jsonc file is edited. The guide includes setup instructions, hook input details, and boilerplate code for detecting file changes, making it a valuable resource for developers looking to customize their VS Code agent workflows in IT/technology contexts.
