# 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.
