SessionStart

A session-start hook that runs shell checks when a coding session starts or resumes. It prints selected project context, recent memory entries, system layers, and the number of pending session digests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to load Home.md and recent history, show configured identity layers, and report pending Markdown session digests.
Why use it?
It automatically restores useful project context and alerts the user when saved session notes still need processing.

Hook for Claude Code

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 yesterday.

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.

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.
