About this skill
Before editing code to fix a bug, confirm what the system actually produced . Outputs don't lie. Code might. Check outputs first. - Check if expected directories exist: ls -la .claude/cache/ - Check if expected files were created: ls -la .claude/cache/learnings/ - Check logs for errors: tail .claude/cache/*.log - Run the failing command manually to see actual error - Only then edit code - Assume "hook didn't run" without checking outputs - Edit code based on what you think should happen - Confuse global vs project paths (check both: .claude/ and ~/.claude/ ) - a541f08a: Token limit error was invisible until manual run revealed it - 6a9f2d7a: Looked in wrong cache path ( ~/.claude/ vs .claude/ ), assumed hook failure - a8bd5cea: Confirmed hook worked by finding output files in project cache - 1c21e6c8: Verified Artifact Index indexing by checking DB file exists
