Steps to define a new hook

[ploughguy]

I am developing a sequential order number solution and it seems like the right thing to do to create it as a plug-in so it can be shared if it gets off the ground.

i have requested a hook at the appropriate place throug github, but until that materialises (probably the wrong word for software) I would like to add a custom hook so I can enjoy the whole developer experience.

Is it enough to copy a nearby hook,then paste it with an adjusted name into the appropriate place?  Is there any other declaration required on the provider side?  I have read that the hooks.xml file is an info-only document, so I believe I don’t have to update that for a personal hook.

Gotta say the whole hook/plug-in/snippet caper is a work of inspired genius, probably just one rung below the recent synchronised Falcon 9 Heavy booster landings.  Full accolades to the perpetrators.  I plan to use it for all my mods.

That is what you need to do.
