Bug
In a fresh project that has never run the remember plugin before, the SessionStart hook fails with:
SessionStart:startup hook error
Failed with non-blocking status code: /bin/sh: <project>/.remember/logs/hook-errors.log: No such file or directory
The same applies to the PostToolUse hook.
Root cause
hooks/hooks.json redirects stderr to ${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.remember/logs/hook-errors.log:
"command": "bash \"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/session-start-hook.sh\" 2>> \"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR:-.}/.remember/logs/hook-errors.log\""The shell opens the redirect target before the script runs. session-start-hook.sh does mkdir -p "$PROJECT/.remember/logs" internally, but that runs too late — /bin/sh has already failed to open the file because the directory doesn't exist yet on a fresh project.
Result: every brand-new project shows the hook error on first launch (it's reported as non-blocking, so the session still starts, but it's noisy and confusing).
Proposed fix
Prepend mkdir -p to the hook command itself so the directory exists before the redirection is parsed:
{
"hooks": {
"SessionStart": [
{
"hooks": [
{
"type": "command",
"command": "mkdir -p \"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR:-.}/.remember/logs\" && bash \"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/session-start-hook.sh\" 2>> \"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR:-.}/.remember/logs/hook-errors.log\""
}
]
}
],
"PostToolUse": [
{
"hooks": [
{
"type": "command",
"command": "mkdir -p \"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR:-.}/.remember/logs\" && bash \"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/post-tool-hook.sh\" 2>> \"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR:-.}/.remember/logs/hook-errors.log\""
}
]
}
]
}
}Verified locally — applying this patch eliminates the first-run error without changing any other behavior. Happy to send a PR if useful.
