# Internal Agent Hooks
# Hooks
Internal hooks provide an extensible event-driven system for automating actions in response to agent commands and events. Hooks are automatically discovered from directories and can be managed via CLI commands, similar to how skills work in Clawdbot.

## Getting Oriented
Hooks are small scripts that run when something happens. There are two kinds:
- **Internal hooks** (this page): run inside the Gateway when agent events fire, like `/new`, `/reset`, `/stop`, or lifecycle events.
- **Web-based hooks**: external HTTP webhooks that let other systems trigger work in Clawdbot. See [Webhook Hooks](/automation/webhook) or use `clawdbot webhooks` for Gmail helper commands.
