- `--json`: Output as JSON
- `-v, --verbose`: Show detailed information including missing requirements

**Example output:**

```
Internal Hooks (2/2 ready)

Ready:
  📝 command-logger ✓ - Log all command events to a centralized audit file
  💾 session-memory ✓ - Save session context to memory when /new command is issued
```

**Example (verbose):**

```bash
clawdbot hooks internal list --verbose
```

Shows missing requirements for ineligible hooks.

**Example (JSON):**

```bash
clawdbot hooks internal list --json
```

Returns structured JSON for programmatic use.
