Hooks Doctor (Claude Code)

Goal: quickly verify whether Claude Code hooks for skill-evolution are installed and enabled.

This is an atomic diagnostic tool used by other workflows so they can warn early when the evolution loop is not active.

Scope

• Applies to: Claude Code hook installation / configuration
• Does not apply to: Cursor/OpenCode/etc that do not support Claude-style hooks

What "healthy" looks like

1. Hook scripts exist at:

• ~/.claude/skills/skill-evolution/hooks/

2. Settings enable the hooks in either:

• Project settings: <repo_root>/.claude/settings.json
• Or global settings: ~/.claude/settings.json
