codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Greeting message hook [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Implement a custom hook that runs git status before the prompt and prints the output to the terminal.

Guidance

• Investigate the existing hook system in Codex CLI to determine how to create a custom hook that runs before the prompt.
• Check if there's an existing hook or API that allows running a command and printing its output to the terminal, rather than adding it to the context.
• Consider using a separate script or command that runs git status and prints the output, which can be called from the custom hook.
• Look into the SessionStart hook's implementation to understand why its stdout is added to the context and how to avoid this behavior in the custom hook.

Notes

The exact implementation details may depend on the internal workings of the Codex CLI and its hook system, which are not fully specified in the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement a custom hook that runs git status and prints the output to the terminal, as this seems to be the most direct way to achieve the desired functionality.
