What's Wrong?

Hooks suggestion used a made-up afterEdit event

# Add to .claude/settings.json:
{
  "hooks": {
    "afterEdit": {
      "command": "cd ~/Projects/recipe-db && python -m py_compile $CLAUDE_EDITED_FILE && echo '✅ Syntax OK' || echo '❌ Syntax error'"
    }
  }
}

What Should Happen?

the correct Claude Code event is PostToolUse with a matcher for Edit|Write

   1 {
       2   "hooks": {
       3     "PostToolUse": [
       4       {
       5         "matcher": "Edit|Write",
       6         "hooks": [
       7           {
       8             "type": "command",
       9             "command": "FILE=$(jq -r '.tool_input.file_path'); [[ \"$FILE\" == *.py ]] && python -m py_compile \"$FILE\" 2>&1 || true"
      10           }
      11         ]
      12       }
      13     ]
      14   }
      15 }
