SessionStart

SessionStart is a hook for coding agents from reidemeister94/development-skills. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, a copy of SessionStart, MIT.

A startup hook that runs a shell check whenever a coding session starts, is cleared or is compacted. Hooks are automatic commands tied to these session events.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running the plugin’s session-start script during startup, context clearing and context compaction.
Why use it?
It performs the configured check at the beginning of a session without requiring the user to run it manually.

Hook

Part of the development-skills plugin — 16 skills, 1 agent, 2 hooks shipped together

One of 2 entries in hooks.json — they are configured in one file and arrive 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/reidemeister94/development-skills/session-start
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/reidemeister94/development-skills

Or install development-skills, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 16 skills, 1 agent, 2 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.

Origin

This is a copy

72% identical to SessionStart — 5 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.

This page is one entry in a file that holds 2. Installing the file brings all of them; each is measured and scanned on its own page.

Changes

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.
