A SessionStart hook that injects instructions asking Claude for short educational insights about implementation choices.

The plugin recreates the deprecated Explanatory output style as a SessionStart hook that runs hooks-handlers/session-start.sh. The README says the added instructions ask for brief explanations before and after writing code, formatted as an insight block.

The README warns not to install it unless you accept the extra token cost of the added instructions and output.
