.claude/settings.json

A session-start hook that runs a Node.js handoff script when an agent session begins.

In plain words

Use it to orient an agent before it begins work.
Why use it?
It gives the agent the project's current checkout, active work track, and latest handoff status at the start.

Hook for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: SessionStart hook event. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths.

This is strale-io/strale's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on strale 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 strale configures →

One of 4 entries in settings.json upstream. Installing this one merges just its entry into your config; the other 3 are separate, each on its own page.

Security

Grade A, and why

SessionStart scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 today.

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.

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

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.
