gaia: Hook for Claude Code

.claude/settings.json

SessionStart is a hook for Claude Code from gaia-react/gaia. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, a copy of PreCompact, MIT.

A set of automatic actions that run when a coding session starts, resumes, or is cleared. They prepare the worktree, refresh project documentation, reconcile technical-debt records, and connect planning steps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to provision the worktree, start wiki checks, reconcile debt items, and continue the project's planning chain at session boundaries.
Why use it?
Routine session setup and project housekeeping are easy to forget and can leave the agent working with missing or stale context.

Hook for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR variable.

This is gaia-react/gaia's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on gaia 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 gaia configures →

One of 7 entries in settings.json upstream. Installing this one merges just its entry into your config; the other 6 are separate, each on its own page.

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 9d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

80% identical to PreCompact — 34 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

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.
