hookstack: Hook for Claude Code

.claude/settings.json

SessionStart is a hook for Claude Code from steve-magne/hookstack. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, a copy of SessionStart, MIT.

A group of checks that runs when an agent session starts or is compacted. It can load project and Git context, check dependencies, inspect branch state, load agent instructions, check staleness, and prepare the worktree environment.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at session startup to load instructions and GitHub context, check dependencies and stale information, warn about stashed work, and prepare the working environment.
Why use it?
It gives the agent current project context and surfaces repository or setup issues before work begins.

Hook for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR variable.

This is steve-magne/hookstack's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on hookstack itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything hookstack configures →

One of 26 entries in settings.json upstream. Installing this one merges just its entry into your config; the other 25 are separate, each on its own page.

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 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.

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

44% identical to SessionStart — 70 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.

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.
