SessionStart

SessionStart is a hook for Claude Code from Spark-To-Paper-Skills/paper-wiki. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, a copy of SessionStart, MIT.

A session-start hook that runs an update-check script when a Claude Code session begins. A hook is an automatic action triggered by a tool or event.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run the Paper Wiki plug-in's update check automatically when a session opens.
Why use it?
It checks for updates without requiring a separate manual command at the start of each session.

Hook for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT variable.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Part of the paper-wiki plugin — 1 skill, 8 commands, 4 agents, 1 hook shipped together

Good fit Use it to run the Paper Wiki plug-in's update check automatically when a session opens.

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 10d 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

61% 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.

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.
