SessionStart

A session-start hook that runs install.sh when a coding-agent session starts, resumes, is cleared, or is compacted.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a project needs install.sh executed during startup and related session transitions.
Why use it?
It repeats the repository’s installation step at key session lifecycle events, helping required setup run automatically.

Install

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.

agentmods
npx agentmods add hooks/tmonk/mcp-stata/session-start
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/tmonk/mcp-stata

Or install mcp-stata, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 20 skills, 4 agents, 1 hook.

Security

Grade C, and why

SessionStart scanned grade C with 2 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 3d 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.

curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.

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.

SessionStart is a hook published in the GitHub repository tmonk/mcp-stata (81 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed AGPL-3.0. Its token cost is not measured: a hook is shell that never enters the context. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
