Hooks
What pith runs automatically, and when. A hook is a command Claude Code fires at a fixed moment, without you asking for it.
$ npx -y skills add abhisekjha/pith --agent claude-codeShips with pith. Installing the plugin gets these hooks.
What fires, and when
SessionStart
Fires once when a session begins, and again after a context compaction. It is where a plugin sets up its environment, or restores state the compaction dropped.
- Runs session-start.js.
UserPromptSubmit
Fires before Claude sees each prompt you send. A plugin can use it to inject context, so the same instruction reaches the model every turn instead of only at session start.
- Runs prompt-submit.js.
PostToolUse
- Runs post-tool-use.js.
Stop
- Runs stop.js.

Read the script before you install anything that runs on your machine. This is the one part of a plugin that acts without being asked.
Status: stable — not actively adding features. Bug fixes welcome via issues. Token compression hooks for Claude Code. Install once, works in every session, zero config.
