Is SessionStart safe to install?

Yes — SessionStart is safe to install, with something worth knowing. Fable 5.1 read every file SessionStart ships from google-gemini/gemini-cli on 7 September 2026 and found nothing that acts against the person installing it; the static scan of its 26 rules grades it A.

Reviewed by Fable 5.1 on 7 September 2026 · a grade is what a scan and a reading found, not a guarantee · how this works

What the reviewer found

SessionStart runs 'node ${extensionPath}/scripts/on-start.js' from an example extension under gemini-cli's packages/cli/src/commands/extensions/examples directory; the script could not be resolved (404), so it is unreviewed. This is example material shipped for documentation, not a hook meant for installation.

What was read

The file as it ships in google-gemini/gemini-cli:

Named but not readable — outside the repository, or not found — and so not covered by this review: ${extensionPath}/scripts/on-start.js.

What the static scan said

The 26-rule scan found nothing in this file; the review read it anyway.

How this review was made

Fable 5.1 read the files above on 7 September 2026 and answered three questions: is it dangerous to whoever installs it, is each scanner finding real, and what should the installer know. The verdict is bound to the file's hash; when the file changes, it is scanned afresh and reviewed again. A script that changes while the definition does not is not re-reviewed — that is a known gap. How the scan and the review work.
