UserPromptSubmit

UserPromptSubmit is a hook for Claude Code from jagoff/memo. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

Hooks that save session information, capture idle-session notes, create checkpoints, and run related memory commands when a prompt is submitted.

In plain words
What is it for?
Autosaving a session, capturing durable notes after idle time, creating a checkpoint, and running the configured prompt-submit checks.
Why use it?
They preserve context across work sessions and allow background maintenance, while the input does not fully list every configured command.

Hook for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: UserPromptSubmit hook event.

Part of the memo plugin — 4 skills, 1 command, 4 hooks, 1 MCP server shipped together

One of 4 entries in hooks.json upstream. Installing this one merges just its entry into your config; the other 3 are separate, each on its own page.

Good fit Autosaving a session, capturing durable notes after idle time, creating a checkpoint, and running the configured prompt-submit checks.

Security

Grade A, and why

UserPromptSubmit 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 1mo 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.
