+Hook Plugin
+===============
+
+Internally, beets sends events to plugins when an action finishes. These can
+range from importing a song (``import``) to beets exiting (``cli_exit``), and
+provide a very flexible way to perform actions based on the events. This plugin
+allows you to run commands when an event is emitted by beets, such as syncing
+your library with another drive when the library is updated.
+
+Hooks are currently run in the order defined in the configuration, however this
+is dependent on beets itself (may change in the future) and cannot be controlled
+by this plugin.
+
+.. _hook-configuration:
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+To configure the plugin, make a ``hook:`` section in your configuration
+file. The available options are:
+
+- **hooks**: A list of events and the commands to run (see :ref:`individual-hook-configuration`)
+  Default: Empty.
+- **substitute_event**: The string to replace in each command with the name of
+  the event executing it. This can be used to allow one script to act
+  differently depending on the event it was called by. Can be individually
+  overridden (see :ref:`individual-hook-configuration`).
+  Default: ``%EVENT%``
+- **shell**: Run each command in a shell. Can be individually overridden (see
+  :ref:`individual-hook-configuration`).
+  Default: ``yes``
+
+.. _individual-hook-configuration:
+
+Individual Hook Configuration
+-----------------------------
+
+Each element of the ``hooks`` configuration option can be configured separately.
+The available options are:
+
+- **event** (required): The name of the event that should cause this hook to execute. See
+  :ref:`Plugin Events <plugin_events>` for a list of possible values.
+- **command** (required): The command to run when this hook executes.
+- **substitute_event**: Hook-level override for ``substitute_event`` option in
+  :ref:`hook-configuration`.
+  Default: Value of top level ``substitute_event`` option (see :ref:`hook-configuration`)
+- **shell**: Hook-level override for ``shell`` option in :ref:`hook-configuration`.
+  Default: Value of top level ``shell`` option (see :ref:`hook-configuration`).
+- **substitute_args**: A key/value set where the key is the name of the an
+  argument passed to the event (see :ref:`Plugin Events <plugin_events>` for
+  a list of arguments for each event) and the value is the string to replace
+  in the command with the value of the argument. Note that any arguments that
+  are not strings will be converted to strings (e.g. Python objects).
+  Default: Empty.
+
+Example Configuration

+        # Output on exit:

+        - event: cli_exit
