 For configuring julia hooks, your [`entry`](#hooks-entry) should be a path to a julia source
 file relative to the hook repository (optionally with arguments).
 
-For example:
+Hooks run in an isolated package environment defined by a `Project.toml` file (optionally
+with a `Manifest.toml` file) in the hook repository. If no `Project.toml` file is found the
+hook is run in an empty environment.
+
+Julia hooks support [`additional_dependencies`](#config-additional_dependencies) which can
+be used to augment, or override, the existing environment in the hooks repository. This also
+means that julia can be used as a `repo: local` hook. `additional_dependencies` are passed
+to `pkg> add` and should be specified using
+[Pkg REPL mode syntax](https://pkgdocs.julialang.org/v1/repl/#repl-add).

 __Support:__ julia hooks are known to work on any system which has `julia` installed.
