SessionStart

SessionStart is a hook for coding agents from mil-orb/claude-gauge. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, a copy of SessionStart, MIT.

A session-start hook runs a setup script automatically whenever a coding session begins.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps prepare the session environment before coding work begins.
Why use it?
It removes the need to run the same setup steps by hand at the start of each session.

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 claude-gauge plugin — 1 command, 1 hook shipped 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 mil-orb/claude-gauge
Claude Code
/plugin install claude-gauge

Or install claude-gauge, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 1 command, 1 hook.

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 3d 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

52% identical to SessionStart — 7 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.
