Debug Hooks

Systematic workflow for debugging Claude Code hooks.

When to Use

“Hook isn’t firing”
“Hook produces wrong output”
“SessionEnd not working”
“PostToolUse hook not triggering”
“Why didn’t my hook run?”

Workflow

1. Check Outputs First (Observe Before Editing)

# Check project cache
ls -la $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/cache/

# Check specific outputs
ls -la $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/cache/learnings/

# Check for debug logs
tail $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/cache/*.log 2>/dev/null

# Also check global (common mistake: wrong path)
ls -la ~/.claude/cache/ 2>/dev/null

2. Verify Hook Registration

# Project settings
cat $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/settings.json | grep -A 20 '"SessionEnd"\|"PostToolUse"\|"UserPromptSubmit"'

# Global settings (hooks merge from both)
cat ~/.claude/settings.json | grep -A 20 '"SessionEnd"\|"PostToolUse"\|"UserPromptSubmit"'

3. Check Hook Files Exist

# Shell wrappers
ls -la $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/hooks/*.sh

# Compiled bundles (if using TypeScript)
ls -la $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/hooks/dist/*.mjs

4. Test Hook Manually

# SessionEnd hook
echo '{"session_id": "test-123", "reason": "clear", "transcript_path": "/tmp/test"}' | \
  $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/hooks/session-end-cleanup.sh

# PostToolUse hook (Write tool example)
echo '{"tool_name": "Write", "tool_input": {"file_path": "test.md"}, "session_id": "test-123"}' | \
  $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/hooks/handoff-index.sh

5. Check for Silent Failures

If using detached spawn with stdio: 'ignore':

// This pattern hides errors!
spawn(cmd, args, { detached: true, stdio: 'ignore' })

Fix: Add temporary logging:

const logFile = fs.openSync('.claude/cache/debug.log', 'a');
spawn(cmd, args, {
  detached: true,
  stdio: ['ignore', logFile, logFile]  // capture stdout/stderr
});

6. Rebuild After Edits

If you edited TypeScript source, you MUST rebuild:

cd $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/hooks
npx esbuild src/session-end-cleanup.ts \
  --bundle --platform=node --format=esm \
  --outfile=dist/session-end-cleanup.mjs

Source edits alone don’t take effect – the shell wrapper runs the bundled .mjs.

Common Issues

Symptom	Likely Cause	Fix
Hook never runs	Not registered in settings.json	Add to correct event in settings
Hook runs but no output	Detached spawn hiding errors	Add logging, check manually
Wrong session ID	Using “most recent” query	Pass ID explicitly
Works locally, not in CI	Missing dependencies	Check npx/node availability
Runs twice	Registered in both global + project	Remove duplicate

Debug Checklist

Outputs exist? (ls -la .claude/cache/)
Registered? (grep -A10 '"hooks"' .claude/settings.json)
Files exist? (ls .claude/hooks/*.sh)
Bundle current? (ls -la .claude/hooks/dist/)
Manual test works? (echo '{}' | ./hook.sh)
No silent failures? (check for stdio: 'ignore')
