SessionStart

A session-start hook that runs the command npx tdd-guard@latest when a coding session starts, resumes, or is cleared. TDD means developing by writing a failing test before the implementation and then making it pass.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to trigger the tdd-guard command during startup, resume, and clear events in the coding-agent session.
Why use it?
It automatically applies the project's test-driven-development guard at the beginning of a session. This avoids relying on a person to remember to run that check manually.

Hook

Part of the tdd-guard plugin — 1 skill, 3 hooks shipped together

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods
npx agentmods add hooks/nizos/tdd-guard/session-start
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/nizos/tdd-guard

Or install tdd-guard, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 1 skill, 3 hooks.

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.

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.

Its token cost is not measured: a hook is shell that never enters the context. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
