@nhorton fyi - I asked claude to research hook availability and command format, but I haven't yet validated whether the information there is correct. Here's the output on the research:

Key Findings

OpenCode:

• Commands stored in .opencode/command/ as Markdown files
• Similar pattern to Claude Code (filename = command name)
• No hooks/lifecycle events - commands execute synchronously
• Has agents system with permission controls but no pre/post execution hooks

GitHub Copilot CLI:

• Custom agents in .github/agents/ as Markdown with YAML frontmatter
• Tool permissions (--allow-tool, --deny-tool) provide some control
• No lifecycle hooks - known issues where git hooks cause agent to fail
• MCP server support for extensibility but not command-level hooks

Both platforms use Markdown for commands but neither has the rich hooks system that Claude Code offers (stop_hooks, pre_tool_execution, post_tool_execution).
