hook-controller

A set of project rules describing how a Kubernetes-style Hook resource is checked and then run during migration phases. It covers local container hooks and hooks submitted to Ansible Automation Platform.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when implementing or reviewing Hook validation, readiness conditions, container images, encoded playbooks, or Ansible Automation Platform job execution.
Why use it?
It makes hook validation and execution behavior explicit, including which settings are required or incompatible.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Cursor.

Per session 15 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 1,136 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

hook-controller scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Hook Controller

Source: pkg/controller/hook/ (validation), pkg/controller/plan/hook.go (execution)

Two Concerns

The Hook lifecycle is split across two controllers:

  1. Hook controller (pkg/controller/hook/) — validates the Hook CRD and sets Ready.
  2. Plan controller (pkg/controller/plan/hook.go) — executes hooks via HookRunner during migration phases PreHook and PostHook.

Hook CRD Validation

Reconciliation Flow

Fetch Hook CR
  → BeginStagingConditions
  → validate()
    → If spec.aap is set:
        → Reject if image or playbook also set (InvalidHookExecute)
        → validateAAP() — url, jobTemplateId > 0, tokenSecret.name required
    → If spec.aap is nil (local hook):
        → HookExecutionConfigValid() — image is required, playbook optional
        → validateImage() — Docker image reference regex (OCI-compliant)
        → validatePlaybook() — must be valid base64 if provided
  → Set Ready if no blockers
  → EndStagingConditions, record events, update status

Conditions

Condition Category When Set
InvalidImage Critical Image name fails OCI reference regex
InvalidPlaybook Critical Playbook is not valid base64
InvalidHookExecute Critical Invalid combination: AAP + image/playbook, or missing image for local hook
Ready Required No blocker conditions

Image Validation

The regexp.go file contains a full OCI/Docker image reference parser:

  • Validates [domain/]name[:tag][@digest] format.
  • Supports multi-level paths, port numbers, tags, and SHA digests.

Hook Execution (HookRunner)

File: pkg/controller/plan/hook.go

Invoked by the migration controller during PhasePreHook and PhasePostHook:

runner := HookRunner{Context: r.Context}
err = runner.Run(vm)

Two Execution Modes

1. Local Hook (Kubernetes Job)

When spec.aap is nil:

  1. ConfigMap: Created with workload.yml (VM inventory data), playbook.yml (decoded from base64), and plan.yml (plan spec as YAML).
  2. Job: Created in the plan's namespace with:
    • Container image from hook.Spec.Image
    • ConfigMap mounted at /tmp/hook
    • If playbook provided: command is /bin/entrypoint ansible-runner run /tmp/runner -p /tmp/hook/playbook.yml
    • BackoffLimit: 1
    • Resource requests/limits from Settings.Migration.HooksContainer{Requests,Limits}{Cpu,Memory}
    • ActiveDeadlineSeconds from hook.Spec.Deadline (if > 0)
  3. Service account precedence: Hook SA → Plan SA → Global controller SA → namespace default.
  4. Owned by Plan: Job has owner reference to the Plan CR.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

hook-controller is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository kubev2v/forklift-console-plugin (11 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 1,136 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
