Custom Hooks¶
Custom pipeline hooks for observability and control.
"""Custom pipeline hooks for observability and control.
The `PipelineHooks` protocol lets you plug into pipeline lifecycle events:
on_stage_start — A pipeline stage is starting (e.g., "context_retrieval")
on_stage_end — A pipeline stage completed (with timing metadata)
on_confirm — Run plan is ready; return True to proceed, False to cancel
on_complete — Final report is available
Built-in implementations:
DefaultHooks — Logs via loguru, auto-approves (for library usage)
RichHooks — Rich terminal output with interactive confirmation (for CLI)
This example shows a custom implementation that logs to a file and
auto-approves after validating the run plan.
Prerequisites:
- OPENAI_API_KEY set in environment
Usage:
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-... python 09_custom_hooks.py
