Observe Before Editing

Before editing code to fix a bug, confirm what the system actually produced.

Pattern

Outputs don't lie. Code might. Check outputs first.

DO

  1. Check if expected directories exist: ls -la .claude/cache/
  2. Check if expected files were created: ls -la .claude/cache/learnings/
  3. Check logs for errors: tail .claude/cache/*.log
  4. Run the failing command manually to see actual error
  5. Only then edit code

DON'T

  • 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/)

Source Sessions

  • 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
