SessionStart

SessionStart is a hook for Claude Code from architonixlabs/RepoOrch. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

A session-start check for workspaces containing multiple Git repositories. It looks for the repo-orchestrator registry and, when it is missing, displays a setup prompt.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when opening a workspace that contains two or more Git repositories, so you can be directed to the repo-orchestrator setup command.
Why use it?
It helps you notice that a multi-repository workspace has not been prepared for repo-orchestrator. This avoids starting with missing workspace configuration.

Hook for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: SessionStart hook event. Also seen: mentions Claude Code.

Part of the repo-orchestrator plugin — 3 skills, 8 commands, 2 agents, 2 hooks shipped together

One of 2 entries in hooks.json upstream. Installing this one merges just its entry into your config; the other 1 are separate, each on its own page.

Good fit Use it when opening a workspace that contains two or more Git repositories, so you can be directed to the repo-orchestrator setup command.

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 1mo ago.

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.
