SessionStart

A group of session-start hooks that run five preparation and maintenance scripts when a coding-agent session begins. The scripts check health, prepare the session, sync rules, scan for stale modules, and ask about memory.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running heartbeat checks, session preparation, rule synchronization, stale-module scans against the Git diff, and memory prompts at session start.
Why use it?
It performs recurring checks and loads project context at the beginning of a session, helping the agent start with current rules and state.

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.

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 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.

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.

This is a copy

61% identical to SessionStart — 22 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.
