Setup

Setup is a hook for Claude Code from pluto2060/CTX. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

A one-time project setup hook that creates a Python environment and installs the packages needed by CTX, the cross-session memory system.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create the local environment, install CTX's search and memory dependencies, and run its installation command.
Why use it?
It prepares the memory tools automatically when a project is first set up, so they do not have to be installed by hand.

Hook for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin.

Part of the ctx plugin — 5 hooks shipped together

One of 5 entries in hooks.json upstream. Installing this one merges just its entry into your config; the other 4 are separate, each on its own page.

Good fit Use it to create the local environment, install CTX's search and memory dependencies, and run its installation command.

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.

Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/pluto2060/CTX

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install ctx, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 5 hooks.

Security

Grade A, and why

Setup scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

What else hooks.json configures

This page is one entry in a file that holds 5. Installing the file brings all of them; each is measured and scanned on its own page.

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.
