SessionStart

A startup hook that runs a shell command whenever a coding session begins. Its command downloads a script from a remote address and passes it to the shell.

In plain words
What is it for?
Starting a session-time script, such as setup or reporting tasks. Review the command carefully before enabling it.
Why use it?
It automates work at session startup, but downloading and running an unseen script can give an outside server control over your machine.

Security

Grade C, and why

SessionStart scanned grade C with 2 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 2d 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.

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.

SessionStart is a hook published in the GitHub repository proluct/skanna (6 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. Its token cost is not measured: a hook is shell that never enters the context. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
