UserPromptExpansion

UserPromptExpansion is a hook for coding agents from NVIDIA/NeMo-Relay. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, a copy of SessionStart, Apache-2.0.

A prompt-expansion event hook that forwards the prompt-expansion event before the agent sees the result. Prompt expansion means adding or preparing context for a submitted request.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to forward prompt-expansion events to the configured local NeMo-Relay gateway.
Why use it?
It gives NeMo-Relay visibility into the prompt-preparation stage. The input does not say how the prompt is expanded or what the relay does with it.

Hook

Part of the nemo-relay-plugin plugin — 14 hooks, 1 MCP server shipped together

One of 14 entries in hooks.json — they are configured in one file and arrive together.

About the project

NVIDIA/NeMo-Relay is a runtime and library that gives coding agents and applications shared control over agent execution scopes, policies, plugins, lifecycle events, and observability data. It is for developers who need to inspect or instrument runs from agents such as Codex or Claude Code, or integrate frameworks and export traces and trajectories. The catalogue entries provide Relay plugins, hooks, instructions, skills, and an MCP server for those workflows.

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/nvidia/nemo-relay/user-prompt-expansion
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo-Relay

Or install nemo-relay-plugin, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 14 hooks, 1 MCP server.

Security

Grade A, and why

UserPromptExpansion 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 5d 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

89% identical to SessionStart — 2 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.
