Release notes

Local Hoist v0.0.23

April 6, 2026

v0.0.23 introduces Hooks, reusable workspace automations for running terminal commands from chat. Run them on demand from the composer, attach them to a send, or define conditions so they trigger automatically based on what the assistant did during a turn.

New

Added Hooks, reusable workspace automations that run terminal commands from chat. Select a hook with a slash command to run it immediately, attach it to a normal send so it runs after the assistant finishes, or define automatic conditions that evaluate completed turn activity and fire when their checks match.
Added automatic condition-based Hooks that check what happened during an assistant turn—modified files, tools used, file types changed, and more—and run follow-up commands when the conditions are met, for example running backend tests whenever Python files were modified.
Added a Hooks manager for browsing, reviewing, enabling, and editing workspace hooks inline, including configuring automatic condition checks.
Added hook execution messages in chat with clear status, expandable stdout and stderr, and execution details.

Improved

Improved the Working Directory dialog with path autocomplete so it's faster to choose an existing folder.
Polished inline skill activation cards with a cleaner, more compact layout and clearer metadata.

Reliability

Improved hook execution resilience so a single failed hook no longer blocks the rest of the run.
Fixed Gemini image generation so requests no longer block the app while waiting on a response.
