os.Stdin/out/err directly.io.Reader, io.Writer, and filesystem interfaces (e.g., afero.Fs) into services.Handle SIGINT (Ctrl+C) and SIGTERM gracefully
Use signal.Notify with a channel to capture signals
Propagate cancellation via context.Context to all goroutines
Clean up resources (files, connections, temp dirs) before exit
Exit with code 130 for SIGINT (standard shell convention)
Use errgroup.WithContext for coordinated goroutine shutdown
Example pattern:
ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
defer cancel()
sigCh := make(chan os.Signal, 1)
signal.Notify(sigCh, os.Interrupt, syscall.SIGTERM)
go func() {
<-sigCh
cancel() // propagate cancellation

Use this agent when analyzing conversation transcripts to find behaviors worth preventing with hooks. Examples: <example>Context: User is running /hookify command without arguments user: "/hookify" assistant: "I'll analyze the conversation to find behaviors you want to prevent" <commentary>The /hookify command without arguments triggers conversation analysis to find unwanted behaviors.</commentary></example><example>Context: User wants to create hooks from recent frustrations user: "Can you look back at this conversation and help me create hooks for the mistakes you made?" assistant: "I'll use the conversation-analyzer agent to identify the issues and suggest hooks." <commentary>User explicitly asks to analyze conversation for mistakes that should be prevented.</commentary></example>
