"""Install Mem0 lifecycle hooks into ~/.codex/hooks.json.
Codex discovers hooks only at ~/.codex/hooks.json or <repo>/.codex/hooks.json,
and has no plugin-host mechanism for auto-wiring hooks from an installed
plugin. This installer reads the template at hooks/codex-hooks.json, rewrites
the ${CODEX_PLUGIN_ROOT} placeholder to the absolute install path of this
plugin, then merges the entries into ~/.codex/hooks.json.
Re-running is idempotent: existing Mem0 entries (identified by the plugin
directory name in the command string) are removed before fresh entries are
added, so upgrades don't leave duplicates.
Usage:
python3 install_codex_hooks.py # install or update
python3 install_codex_hooks.py --uninstall # remove Mem0 entries
After installing, Codex requires the hooks feature flag in ~/.codex/config.toml:
[features]
codex_hooks = true

# We must respect stop_hook_active or we'd loop forever: every "block"
# reopens the turn, which triggers Stop again when the agent settles.

Before finishing, check if there are important learnings from this interaction that should be persisted using the mem0 `add_memory` tool:
1. Were any significant decisions made? -> Store with metadata `{"type": "decision"}`
2. Were any new patterns or strategies discovered? -> Store with metadata `{"type": "task_learning"}`
3. Did any approach fail? -> Store with metadata `{"type": "anti_pattern"}`
4. Did you learn anything about the user's preferences? -> Store with metadata `{"type": "user_preference"}`
5. Were there environment/setup discoveries? -> Store with metadata `{"type": "environmental"}`
Memories can be as detailed as needed — include full context, reasoning, code snippets, file paths, and examples. Longer, searchable memories are more valuable than vague one-liners.
If nothing notable happened in this interaction, it's fine to skip. Only store genuinely useful learnings.
