Claudeception — Development skill for Claude Code

Claudeception

Every time you use an AI coding agent, it starts from zero. You spend an hour debugging some obscure error, the agent figures it out, session ends. Next time you hit the same issue? Another hour.

This skill fixes that. When Claude Code discovers something non-obvious (a debugging technique, a workaround, some project-specific pattern), it saves that knowledge as a new skill. Next time a similar problem comes up, the skill gets loaded automatically.

Installation

Step 1: Clone the skill

**User-level (recommended)**

git clone https://github.com/blader/Claudeception.git ~/.claude/skills/claudeception

**Project-level**

git clone https://github.com/blader/Claudeception.git .claude/skills/claudeception

Step 2: Set up the activation hook (recommended)

The skill can activate via semantic matching, but a hook ensures it evaluates every session for extractable knowledge.

User-level setup (recommended)

1. Create the hooks directory and copy the script:

mkdir -p ~/.claude/hooks
cp ~/.claude/skills/claudeception/scripts/claudeception-activator.sh ~/.claude/hooks/
chmod +x ~/.claude/hooks/claudeception-activator.sh

1. Add the hook to your global Claude settings (~/.claude/settings.json):

{
  "hooks": {
    "UserPromptSubmit": [
      {
        "hooks": [
          {
            "type": "command",
            "command": "~/.claude/hooks/claudeception-activator.sh"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Project-level setup

1. Create the hooks directory inside your project and copy the script:

mkdir -p .claude/hooks
cp .claude/skills/claudeception/scripts/claudeception-activator.sh .claude/hooks/
chmod +x .claude/hooks/claudeception-activator.sh

1. Add the hook to your project settings (.claude/settings.json in the repo):

{
  "hooks": {
    "UserPromptSubmit": [
      {
        "hooks": [
          {
            "type": "command",
