Kiro Global Hook

Automatically detects and initializes Kiro hooks when you open a workspace.

How it works

  1. On workspace open, checks if .kiro/hooks/ contains your hook templates
  2. If hooks are missing, prompts you to initialize them from your template directory
  3. If no template directory is configured, shows a non-intrusive status bar hint

Setup

  1. Create a directory with your .kiro.hook template files (e.g. ~/kiro-templates/)
  2. Open VS Code/Kiro Settings and set kiroHooksInit.templateDir to that directory path
  3. Open any workspace — missing hooks will be detected and you'll be prompted to initialize

Settings

Setting Description
kiroHooksInit.templateDir Absolute path to directory containing .kiro.hook template files
