SessionStart

SessionStart is a hook for coding agents from czlonkowski/n8n-skills. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

A startup hook that runs a shell script when a coding-agent session starts, resumes, is cleared, or is compacted. A hook is an automatic action triggered by a session event.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure automatic session initialization for the listed startup and session-recovery events.
Why use it?
It ensures the same session-start routine runs at the relevant points without requiring a manual command.

Hook

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Part of the n8n-mcp-skills plugin — 15 skills, 3 hooks shipped 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 5d 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.

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.
