SessionStart

SessionStart is a hook for Claude Code from cocoindex-io/cocoindex-code. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A session-start hook that checks whether the project has CocoIndex Code files and, when available, refreshes its code index. A code index helps an AI tool search and understand a codebase.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at session startup to run the index command from the project root when the ccc tool and .cocoindex_code directory are present.
Why use it?
It can keep the project's search index current when a new coding session begins, while silently doing nothing if the required tool or files are unavailable.

Hook for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR variable.

Part of the cocoindex-code plugin — 1 skill, 2 hooks, 1 MCP server 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 at session startup to run the index command from the project root when the ccc tool and .cocoindex_code directory are present.

About the project

CocoIndex Code is a command-line code-search engine that analyzes a codebase's syntax trees to find relevant code and provide it to language models. It is for developers and coding agents that need fast, context-aware codebase search, with integrations for tools such as Claude, Codex, and Cursor. The catalogue add-ons are its plugin, skill, hook, and MCP integrations for coding agents.

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/cocoindex-io/cocoindex-code

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install cocoindex-code, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 1 skill, 2 hooks, 1 MCP server.

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 11d 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.

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.
