Am I missing something? Or is everyone experiencing this?

[harshraj172]

I changed the /scripts/claudeception-activator.sh to

#!/bin/bash

# Claudeception Auto-Activation Hook
# This hook ensures the claudeception skill evaluates every interaction
# for extractable knowledge worth preserving.
#
# Installation:
#   1. Copy this script to ~/.claude/hooks/
#   2. Make it executable: chmod +x ~/.claude/hooks/claudeception-activator.sh
#   3. Add to ~/.claude/settings.json (see README for details)

MANDATORY ACTION REQUIRED - NO EXCEPTIONS

After completing the user's request, you MUST execute:

    Skill("claudeception")

This is a HARD REQUIREMENT. You MUST call the claudeception skill using the Skill tool before your response is complete. Do not skip this step under any circumstances.

SEQUENCE:
1. Complete the user's task
2. IMMEDIATELY call: Skill("claudeception")
3. Only then is your response complete

FAILURE TO CALL Skill("claudeception") IS A CRITICAL ERROR.
