fix: hooks degrade gracefully when node is not on PATH - #57
Merged

Conversation
Claude Code runs hooks via a non-interactive /bin/sh. On setups where node isn't on that shell's PATH (Nix/nix-darwin, nvm, fnm), every prompt errored with "/bin/sh: node: command not found". Guard each hook command so it runs node only when present and exits 0 otherwise, no more per-prompt noise. The slash-command skills are unaffected; only the always-on activation needs node. Document the requirement in the README install section. Closes #51. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Fixes #51.
Claude Code runs hooks through a non-interactive
/bin/sh. On setups wherenodeisn't on that shell's PATH (Nix/nix-darwin, nvm, fnm), theSessionStartandUserPromptSubmithooks failed with/bin/sh: node: command not found, on every prompt.command -v node >/dev/null 2>&1 && node "..." || exit 0(and aGet-Command nodeguard for the PowerShellcommandWindows). Node-absent now exits 0 silently instead of erroring every prompt.skills/directly); only the always-on activation + mode tracking need node.Verified: hooks.json parses, the guard runs node when present and exits 0 silently when absent, full suite 33/33, rule check green. @githappens offered to test on a node-less PATH.
