agent-glovebox: Hook for Claude Code

.claude/settings.json

SessionStart is a hook for Claude Code from AlexanderMattTurner/agent-glovebox. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A session-start hook that runs configured shell scripts when a coding-agent session begins. The listed scripts launch safely, check for hidden characters and risky MCP activity, prepare the session, and optionally forward an event.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run startup safety checks, prepare a project session, and forward session-start events to a watcher when one is configured.
Why use it?
It automates checks and setup that would otherwise be easy to forget at the start of each session. Advisory mode lets these checks report issues without being described as blocking actions.

Hook for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR variable.

This is AlexanderMattTurner/agent-glovebox's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on agent-glovebox itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything agent-glovebox configures →

One of 9 entries in settings.json — they are configured in one file and arrive together.

Security

Grade A, and why

SessionStart scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the commands this hook runs, not an audit. A hook is shell that executes on your machine at the event it names, which is why every command in it is printed with what was found.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
