Converter hook packages (overview)

Converter hook packages are Python distributions that extend BrkRaw's conversion pipeline (data loading/affine/conversion) while reusing the existing metadata, layout, and sidecar infrastructure.

They are the recommended mechanism when you need sequence-specific conversion logic that should not live in the core project.

Relationship to addons

  • Addons (rules/specs/transforms) provide case-dependent customization.
  • Hook packages provide new conversion behavior and may optionally ship addon assets via a manifest.
