Error Memory Log

Log a new error and its solution to build up the error memory database.

Usage

/error-memory:log

This command is interactive - Claude will gather the required information from the current context and ask for any missing details.

Process

1. Gather Error Information - Extract from the current conversation context:

   • The error message (required)
   • What was happening when the error occurred
   • The source of the error (bash, playwright, read, user, build, api, other)

2. Document the Analysis:

   • What caused the error (required)
   • How it was solved (required)
   • Why the solution works

3. Capture Code Changes (if applicable):

   • Which file was changed
   • Code before the fix
   • Code after the fix

4. Add Metadata:

   • Project name (from current working directory or conversation)
   • Project path
   • Relevant tags for categorization

5. Log the Error:

bash $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/log-error.sh --json '{
  "errorMessage": "<error message>",
  "project": "<project name>",
  "projectPath": "<path>",
  "source": "<source>",
  "whatHappened": "<context>",
  "cause": "<why it happened>",
  "solution": "<how it was fixed>",
  "rationale": "<why the solution works>",
  "fileChanged": "<file path>",
  "codeBefore": "<code before>",
  "codeAfter": "<code after>",
  "tags": ["tag1", "tag2"]
}'

Tag Guidelines

Use consistent, meaningful tags:

• Technology: laravel, react, node, php, python, docker
• Framework: filament, livewire, vue, nextjs
• Domain: database, api, auth, forms, validation
• Type: configuration, dependency, syntax, runtime

Example

After solving a database connection error:

bash $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/log-error.sh --json '{
  "errorMessage": "SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection refused",
  "project": "my-laravel-app",
  "projectPath": "/home/user/projects/my-laravel-app",
  "source": "bash",
  "whatHappened": "Running php artisan migrate",
  "cause": "Database container was not running",
  "solution": "Start the database container with docker-compose up -d db",
  "rationale": "Laravel needs an active database connection to run migrations",
  "tags": ["laravel", "database", "docker", "connection"]
}'
