# autoresearch-hooks
Optional scripts that run at iteration boundaries in an autoresearch session. Two hooks, both transparent to the loop-running agent — their effect is a file on disk or a steer message.
```
.auto/hooks/
before.sh # fires before each iteration (prospective)
after.sh # fires after each log_experiment (retrospective)
```
Both files are optional. Files without the executable bit are silently ignored.
