@sahansk2 Should I assign this to you?

I guess we're halfway done. I think this would be a good issue for a newbie

@sahansk2 How do you think this fits into #253?

Yeah, I think it'd be possible to have each level define its own hooks. I'm not sure which levels will want custom hooks and which will want generic hooks, so...
