| trigger | SessionStart (hook ss.stale.check.js) |
Stale Changes Check
Runs automatically at every session start via hooks/session-start/ss.stale.check.js.
Silent when everything is clean. Only surfaces a brief warning when issues are found.
What the hook checks
git status --porcelain — uncommitted changesgit log --branches --not --remotes --oneline — unpushed commitsgit stash list — stash entries
Always checks the current working directory. Optionally checks additional repos
defined in ~/.claude/scheduled-tasks/stale-changes-check/reference.md:
## Repos to monitor
- ~/IdeaProjects/my-app
- ~/IdeaProjects/my-other-app
Output behaviour
- Clean → hook exits silently, nothing shown to user.
- Issues found → hook writes a one-line prompt to stdout; Claude relays a
brief inline warning to the user (no full report, no table).
Constraints
- Read-only — hook never makes any git changes
- No cron registration — this is a direct SessionStart hook, not a scheduled task
