SessionStart

SessionStart is a hook for Claude Code from n24q02m/better-code-review-graph. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A session-start hook that checks whether the repository has a code knowledge graph and prints a short status message. A hook is an automatic action that runs when a specified event occurs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to announce graph availability at the start of a session and suggest relevant code-review graph queries or an initial graph build.
Why use it?
It tells the coding agent whether graph-based code information is available before work begins. If it is available, the message points the agent toward graph queries instead of repeated manual searches.

Hook for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: SessionStart hook event.

Part of the better-code-review-graph plugin — 7 skills, 3 hooks, 1 MCP server shipped together

One of 3 entries in hooks.json upstream. Installing this one merges just its entry into your config; the other 2 are separate, each on its own page.

Good fit Use it to announce graph availability at the start of a session and suggest relevant code-review graph queries or an initial graph build.

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 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.

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.
