SessionStart

SessionStart is a hook for Claude Code from blasrodri/truth. Its token cost is not measured, scanned C, original, MIT.

A session-start hook that checks whether the truth command-line program is installed. A hook is an automatic action triggered by an agent event.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the beginning of sessions to detect whether truth-based fact-checking is available.
Why use it?
It warns you when the truth fact-checker is missing, so you do not assume agent responses are being checked.

Security

Grade C, and why

SessionStart scanned grade C with 2 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 2mo 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.

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.
