SessionStart

SessionStart is a hook for Claude Code from letta-ai/claude-subconscious. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

A session-start hook that runs two Node.js commands when a coding session begins. The commands start a session script and synchronize stored project memory.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a project needs startup scripts to run automatically and session information to be synchronized before work begins.
Why use it?
It automates setup and memory synchronization at the beginning of each session, so those tasks do not have to be started manually.

Hook for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT variable.

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 claude-subconscious plugin — 4 hooks shipped together

One of 4 entries in hooks.json — they are configured in one file and arrive together.

About the project

Claude Subconscious is a demonstration application that runs a background agent alongside Claude Code, reading session transcripts and project files to build memory and provide guidance. It is intended for experimenting with persistent, behind-the-scenes assistance in coding sessions rather than production use. Its catalogue add-ons extend the Claude Code workflow with hooks and a plugin.

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 6d 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.
