 "title": "Repair broken Penelopa hooks without reinstalling",
 "page_title": "How to repair broken Penelopa hooks without reinstalling with Penelopa AI",
 "summary": "Run the built-in diagnose and repair commands when capture stops working.",
 "who": "A developer whose Connection page stopped updating or whose agent hooks seem out of date.",
 "problem": "Hooks can fall out of date or stop capturing, and reinstalling from scratch is slow and risky to the setup.",
 "outcome": "Diagnostics show the current state, repair restores Penelopa hooks, and the account token is kept.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `\"$(cat \"$HOME/.auto-improve/node-path\")\" \"$HOME/.auto-improve/bin/penelopa.cjs\" --diagnose` to print diagnostics without credentials or transcripts.",
  "Run `\"$(cat \"$HOME/.auto-improve/node-path\")\" \"$HOME/.auto-improve/bin/penelopa.cjs\" --repair` to repair or update the hooks and repeat the local self-test.",
  "Open Connection in the desktop app and continue a coding session.",
  "Confirm the status returns to Connected after a real event is observed."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the chigwell/Penelopa.ai repo, run the diagnose command, then the repair command, using the local private runtime path at $HOME/.auto-improve. Report the diagnostic summary and confirm the repair kept the existing account token.",
 "agents": [
  "codex",
  "claude-code"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "15 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "Repair keeps the account token unless a new token is supplied, and the README warns that the self-test does not prove an agent has approved its hooks.",
 "category": "Software and DevOps",
 "tags": [

 "lang": "javascript",
 "requirements": [
  "A Penelopa account, created during installation",
  "Codex or Claude Code installed on the machine",
  "macOS 13.5+, Windows 10 22H2+ or Windows 11 x64 for the desktop app, or Linux x64/arm64 with kernel 4.18+ and glibc 2.28+ for hooks only",
  "Internet access to penelopa.ai, nodejs.org, the npm registry and Electron release downloads",
  "About 3 GB of free disk space for desktop builds"
