AI Hooks: the overlooked way to make agents actually follow company rules
jacob_posel · x · 2026-10-27
jacobposel highlights Hooks — rules that fire automatically in the agent loop — as one of the most powerful yet unknown AI tools for enforcing company policies.
Examples of rules you can enforce: never use em dashes; always use a set template for customer proposals; reference the brand book when writing briefs; route financial decisions through the CFO. The idea is machine-enforceable rules rather than soft prompt suggestions.
