 - **Hooks** (this page): run inside the Gateway when agent events fire, like `/new`, `/reset`, `/stop`, or lifecycle events.
 - **Webhooks**: external HTTP webhooks that let other systems trigger work in Clawdbot. See [Webhook Hooks](/automation/webhook) or use `clawdbot webhooks` for Gmail helper commands.

+## Plugin hooks
+
+Plugins can ship hooks and register them at runtime. This lets a plugin bundle
+event-driven automation without a separate hook pack install.
+
+### Example
+
+```
+import { registerPluginHooksFromDir } from "clawdbot/plugin-sdk";
+
+export default function register(api) {
+  registerPluginHooksFromDir(api, "./hooks");
+}
+```
+
+Notes:
+- Hook directories follow the normal hook structure (`HOOK.md` + `handler.ts`).
+- Hook eligibility rules still apply (OS/bins/env/config requirements).
+- Plugin-managed hooks show up in `clawdbot hooks list` with `plugin:<id>`.
+- You cannot enable/disable plugin-managed hooks via `clawdbot hooks`; enable/disable the plugin instead.
