## Module Overview

### What It Does

Provides a unified API for all DW-Agents to execute DW-MCP hooks without duplicating code.

### Key Features

- REST API endpoints (auto-generated)
- Convenience wrappers (one-line operations)
- Direct execution (flexible)
- Type-safe client (TypeScript)
- Programmatic integration (use anywhere)
- Consistent error handling
- Execution time tracking
- Input sanitization
- Timeout protection

### What Problem It Solves

**Before:** Every agent duplicated 50+ lines of hook execution code
**After:** Single shared module, one-line operations

**Result:** 95% code reduction, consistent behavior, easy maintenance

## Available Hooks (17)

### Communication (4)
- `gmail` - Send, read, search emails
- `slack` - Send messages, list channels
- `twilio` - Send SMS, make calls
- `calendar` - Manage Google Calendar

### Services (2)
- `shopify` - Store operations
- `weather` - Weather data

### Monitoring (2)
- `service-health-check` - Check service health
- `agent-health-monitor` - Monitor agents

### Processing (2)
- `order-processing` - Process orders
- `product-import-pipeline` - Import products

### System (4)
- `error-notification` - Error alerts
- `mcp-server-startup` - Startup validation
- `pre-commit-env-check` - Pre-commit checks
- `post-deployment-health-check` - Post-deploy checks

### Chat (2)
- `inter-agent-chat` - Agent communication
- `chat-verification-and-logging` - Chat logging

## 5 Ways to Use

### 1. REST API (Auto-generated)

```bash
GET  /api/hooks              # List all hooks
POST /api/hooks/:hookName    # Execute hook
```

### 2. Convenience Wrappers (Easiest)

```typescript
await hooks.slack.send('general', 'Hello');
await hooks.gmail.send('to@test.com', 'Subject', 'Body');
await hooks.orders.process('12345678');
```

### 3. Direct Execution (Flexible)

```typescript
const result = await executeHook('slack', 'send general "Hello"');
```

### 4. Type-Safe Client (TypeScript)

```typescript
const client = new HooksClient();
await client.gmail('send', 'to@test.com', 'Subject', 'Body');
```

### 5. Programmatic (In Routes)

```typescript
app.post('/api/orders', async (req, res) => {
  await hooks.slack.send('orders', 'New order');
  await hooks.gmail.send('team@co.com', 'Order', 'Details');
  res.json({ success: true });
});
```

## Quick Examples

### Send Slack Message

```typescript
import { hooks } from '../shared-hooks-api';
await hooks.slack.send('general', 'Hello team!');
```

### Send Email

```typescript
await hooks.gmail.send('team@company.com', 'Subject', 'Body content');
```

### Process Order

```typescript
const result = await executeHook('order-processing', '12345678');
if (result.success) {
  console.log('Order processed');
}
```

### Health Check

```typescript
const result = await hooks.health.check('web');
if (!result.success) {
  await hooks.errors.notify('critical', 'Web server down');
}
```

### Error Notification

```typescript
try {
  await riskyOperation();
} catch (error) {
  await hooks.errors.notify('critical', error.message);
  await hooks.slack.send('alerts', `ERROR: ${error.message}`);
}
```

## Integration Steps

### Step 1: Import

```typescript
import { setupHooksAPI, hooks } from '../shared-hooks-api';
```

### Step 2: Setup

```typescript
const app = express();
app.use(express.json());
setupHooksAPI(app);
```

### Step 3: Use

```typescript
await hooks.slack.send('general', 'Hello');
```

### Step 4: Test

```bash
curl http://localhost:PORT/api/hooks
```

## Testing

### Test REST API
```bash
curl http://localhost:9800/api/hooks
curl -X POST http://localhost:9800/api/hooks/slack \
  -d '{"params": {"channel": "general", "message": "Test"}}'
```

### Test Programmatically
```typescript
const result = await executeHook('slack', 'send general "Test"');
console.log(result);
```

### Run Example
```bash
npx ts-node example-agent-with-hooks.ts
# Open http://localhost:9999
```

## Common Patterns

### Pattern 1: Order Processing
```typescript
await executeHook('order-processing', orderId);
await hooks.slack.send('orders', `New: $${total}`);
await hooks.gmail.send(email, 'Confirmed', `Order #${orderId}`);
```

### Pattern 2: Health Monitoring
```typescript
for (const service of ['web', 'gmail', 'slack']) {
  const result = await hooks.health.check(service);
  if (!result.success) {
    await hooks.errors.notify('critical', `${service} down`);
  }
}
```

### Pattern 3: Multi-Channel Notification
```typescript
await hooks.slack.send('marketing', message);
await hooks.gmail.send('team@co.com', subject, body);
await executeHook('inter-agent-chat', `broadcast "${message}"`);
```

## Troubleshooting

| Issue | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| Hook not found | Check spelling, use `GET /api/hooks` |
| Timeout | Increase timeout parameter |
| Permission denied | `chmod +x /root/DW-MCP/DW-Hooks/*.js` |
| Module not found | `cd /root/DW-MCP && npm install` |
| Type errors | Check import path |

## Migration Path

1. **Add Module** - Import and setup (no breaking changes)
2. **Start Using** - Replace one function at a time
3. **Full Migration** - Use only shared module
4. **Cleanup** - Remove old code

## Next Steps

1. [ ] Read Quick Reference
2. [ ] Add to first agent
3. [ ] Test REST endpoints
4. [ ] Replace old hook code
5. [ ] Migrate remaining agents
6. [ ] Remove duplicated code
