# Hook Coordination Configuration (`hook_coordination.yaml`)

## Overview

The `hook_coordination.yaml` file configures intelligent hook execution patterns, dependency resolution, and optimization strategies for the SuperClaude-Lite framework. This configuration enables smart coordination of all Framework-Hooks lifecycle events.

## Purpose and Role

This configuration provides:
- **Execution Patterns**: Parallel, sequential, and conditional execution strategies
- **Dependency Resolution**: Smart dependency management between hooks
- **Performance Optimization**: Resource management and caching strategies
- **Error Handling**: Resilient execution with graceful degradation
- **Context Awareness**: Adaptive execution based on operation context

## Configuration Structure

### 1. Execution Patterns

#### Parallel Execution
```yaml
parallel_execution:
  groups:
    - name: "independent_analysis"
      hooks: ["compression_engine", "pattern_detection"]
      max_parallel: 2
      timeout: 5000  # ms
```

**Purpose**: Run independent hooks simultaneously for performance
**Groups**: Logical groupings of hooks that can execute in parallel
**Limits**: Maximum concurrent hooks and timeout protection

#### Sequential Execution
```yaml
sequential_execution:
  chains:
    - name: "session_lifecycle"
      sequence: ["session_start", "pre_tool_use", "post_tool_use", "stop"]
      mandatory: true
      break_on_error: true
```

**Purpose**: Enforce execution order for dependent operations
**Chains**: Named sequences with defined order and error handling
**Control**: Mandatory sequences with error breaking behavior

#### Conditional Execution
```yaml
conditional_execution:
  rules:
    - hook: "compression_engine"
      conditions:
        - resource_usage: ">0.75"
        - conversation_length: ">50"
        - enable_compression: true
      priority: "high"
```

**Purpose**: Execute hooks based on runtime conditions
**Conditions**: Logical rules for hook activation
**Priority**: Execution priority for resource management

### 2. Dependency Resolution

#### Hook Dependencies
```yaml
hook_dependencies:
  session_start:
    requires: []
    provides: ["session_context", "initial_state"]
  pre_tool_use:
    requires: ["session_context"]
    provides: ["tool_context", "pre_analysis"]
    depends_on: ["session_start"]
```

**Dependencies**: What each hook requires and provides
**Resolution**: Automatic dependency chain calculation
**Optional**: Soft dependencies that don't block execution

#### Resolution Strategies
```yaml
resolution_strategies:
  missing_dependency:
    strategy: "graceful_degradation"
    fallback: "skip_optional"
  circular_dependency:
    strategy: "break_weakest_link"
    priority_order: ["session_start", "pre_tool_use", "post_tool_use", "stop"]
```

**Graceful Degradation**: Continue execution without non-critical dependencies
**Circular Resolution**: Break cycles using priority ordering
**Timeout Handling**: Continue execution when dependencies timeout

### 3. Performance Optimization

#### Execution Paths
```yaml
fast_path:
  conditions:
    - complexity_score: "<0.3"
    - operation_type: ["simple", "basic"]
  optimizations:
    - skip_non_essential_hooks: true
    - enable_aggressive_caching: true
    - parallel_where_possible: true
```

**Fast Path**: Optimized execution for simple operations
**Comprehensive Path**: Full analysis for complex operations
**Resource Budgets**: CPU, memory, and time limits

#### Caching Strategies
```yaml
cacheable_hooks:
  - hook: "pattern_detection"
    cache_key: ["session_context", "operation_type"]
    cache_duration: 300  # seconds
```

**Hook Caching**: Cache hook results to avoid recomputation
**Cache Keys**: Contextual keys for cache invalidation
**TTL Management**: Time-based cache expiration

### 4. Context Awareness

#### Operation Context
```yaml
context_patterns:
  - context_type: "ui_development"
    hook_priorities: ["mcp_intelligence", "pattern_detection", "compression_engine"]
    preferred_execution: "fast_parallel"
```

**Adaptive Execution**: Adjust hook execution based on operation type
**Priority Ordering**: Context-specific hook priority
**Execution Preference**: Optimal execution strategy per context

#### User Preferences
```yaml
preference_patterns:
  - user_type: "performance_focused"
    optimizations: ["aggressive_caching", "parallel_execution", "skip_optional"]
```

**User Adaptation**: Adapt to user preferences and patterns
**Performance Profiles**: Optimize for speed, quality, or balance
**Learning Integration**: Improve based on user behavior patterns

### 5. Error Handling and Recovery

#### Recovery Strategies
```yaml
recovery_strategies:
  - error_type: "timeout"
    recovery: "continue_without_hook"
    log_level: "warning"
  - error_type: "critical_failure"
    recovery: "abort_and_cleanup"
    log_level: "error"
```

**Error Types**: Different failure modes with appropriate responses
**Recovery Actions**: Continue, retry, degrade, or abort
**Logging**: Appropriate log levels for different error types

#### Resilience Features
```yaml
resilience_features:
  retry_failed_hooks: true
  max_retries: 2
  graceful_degradation: true
  error_isolation: true
```

**Retry Logic**: Automatic retry with backoff for transient failures
**Degradation**: Continue with reduced functionality when possible
**Isolation**: Prevent error cascade across hook execution

### 6. Lifecycle Management

#### State Tracking
```yaml
state_tracking:
  - pending
  - initializing  
  - running
  - completed
  - failed
  - skipped
  - timeout
```

**Hook States**: Complete lifecycle state management
**Monitoring**: Performance and health tracking
**Events**: Before/after hook execution handling

### 7. Dynamic Configuration

#### Adaptive Execution
```yaml
adaptation_triggers:
  - performance_degradation: ">20%"
    action: "switch_to_fast_path"
  - error_rate: ">10%"
    action: "enable_resilience_mode"
```

**Performance Adaptation**: Switch execution strategies based on performance
**Error Response**: Enable resilience mode when error rates increase
**Resource Management**: Reduce scope when resources are constrained

## Configuration Guidelines

### Performance Tuning
- **Fast Path**: Enable for simple operations to reduce overhead
- **Parallel Groups**: Group independent hooks for concurrent execution
- **Caching**: Cache expensive operations like pattern detection
- **Resource Budgets**: Set appropriate limits for your environment

### Reliability Configuration
- **Error Recovery**: Configure appropriate recovery strategies
- **Dependency Management**: Use optional dependencies for non-critical hooks
- **Resilience**: Enable retry and graceful degradation features
- **Monitoring**: Track hook performance and health

### Context Optimization
- **Operation Types**: Define context patterns for your common workflows
- **User Preferences**: Adapt to user performance vs quality preferences
- **Learning**: Enable learning features for continuous improvement

## Integration Points

### Hook Integration
- All Framework-Hooks use this coordination configuration
- Hook execution follows defined patterns and dependencies
- Performance targets integrated with hook implementations

### Resource Management
- Coordinates with performance monitoring systems
- Integrates with caching and optimization frameworks
- Manages resource allocation across hook execution

## Troubleshooting

### Performance Issues
- **Slow Execution**: Check if comprehensive path is being used unnecessarily
- **Resource Usage**: Monitor CPU and memory budgets
- **Caching**: Verify cache hit rates for expensive operations

### Execution Problems
- **Missing Dependencies**: Check dependency resolution strategies
- **Hook Failures**: Review error recovery configuration
- **Timeout Issues**: Adjust timeout values for your environment

### Context Issues
- **Wrong Path Selection**: Review context pattern matching
- **User Preferences**: Check preference pattern configuration
- **Adaptation**: Monitor adaptation trigger effectiveness
