Hi,

Whenever i open a new chat this file “session-start.sh” keeps popping up and opening WHY??

Hey, this is a known issue. The session-start.sh file comes from third party Claude Code plugins, most often Superpowers or Ralph Loop, that register their hooks in Cursor.

Check Cursor Settings > Hooks. You’ll likely see a sessionStart hook pointing to ./hooks/session-start that you didn’t create.

Quick fix is to remove the Superpowers plugin and or Ralph Loop from Claude Code. More details here: Windows "Select an app to open" dialog triggers when opening AI chat (.sh file handler issue)

If you want to keep the plugin, there’s also a workaround in that thread using a PowerShell wrapper.

Let me know if it helped.
