UserPromptSubmit

UserPromptSubmit is a hook for coding agents from mem0ai/mem0. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, a copy of SessionStart, Apache-2.0.

A prompt-submission hook runs a shell script after you submit a prompt but before the coding agent receives it. The script checks which saved project memories are relevant.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is used to check saved memories at the start of every task and prepare them for the agent.
Why use it?
It helps the agent use relevant past context without requiring you to provide it again each time.

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 mem0 plugin — 6 skills, 1 agent, 9 hooks, 1 MCP server shipped together

One of 9 entries in hooks.json — they are configured in one file and arrive together.

Install

Getting it into your agent

This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add mem0ai/mem0
Claude Code
/plugin install mem0

Or install mem0, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 6 skills, 1 agent, 9 hooks, 1 MCP server.

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 yesterday.

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

55% identical to SessionStart — 8 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.
