Paul O'Reilly 6fd0dac218 Add transcript backup tracking system and pre-compact hook improvements

- pre-compact-backup.sh: derive transcript path from session_id+cwd (no
  longer relies on transcript_path field that Claude Code stopped providing);
  register each backup in tracking.json after saving
- extract-transcripts.py: new script managing tracking.json — register,
  list, extract conversation text, mark-processed modes
- list-transcripts-here.sh: thin wrapper for extract-transcripts --list
  using $(pwd); needed because SKILL.md bang commands reject $() substitution
- install-hooks.sh: now also symlinks skill-helper scripts into
  ~/.claude/scripts/ via a curated SKILL_HELPERS list
- Memory docs: new script-extract-transcripts.md, script-list-transcripts-here.md;
  updated skill-log.md, script-install-hooks.md, MEMORY.md index

script: install-hooks

Location: scripts/install-hooks.sh

Purpose

Symlinks all hook scripts from claude-foundations/hooks/ into ~/.claude/hooks/, and symlinks skill-helper scripts from claude-foundations/scripts/ into ~/.claude/scripts/. Also prints the settings.json configuration to add.

Usage

cd ~/dev/claude/projects/claude-foundations
scripts/install-hooks.sh

One-time setup. Re-run after adding new hooks or skill-helper scripts.

How it works

Iterates over hooks/*.sh, creates symlinks in ~/.claude/hooks/ (force-overwrites)
Iterates over a curated list of skill-helper scripts, creates symlinks in ~/.claude/scripts/
Prints the JSON config for ~/.claude/settings.json covering PreCompact, PostToolUse, and PreToolUse matchers

Skill-helper scripts vs regular scripts

Not all claude-foundations/scripts/ go into ~/.claude/scripts/. Only scripts that skills reference via ~/.claude/scripts/ are installed there. The SKILL_HELPERS array in install-hooks.sh is the authoritative list. Currently: extract-transcripts.py, list-transcripts-here.sh.

Regular scripts (statusline.sh, set-topic.sh, etc.) are accessed via their full path in claude-foundations/scripts/.

Profile notes

Hooks: ~/.claude/hooks/ is referenced in all profile settings.json files — install once, works everywhere
Scripts: ~/.claude/scripts/ is the only location skills reference — no per-profile script dirs needed

Gotchas

The printed JSON must be manually added to settings.json — the script doesn't edit it automatically.
Symlinks mean the hook/script code stays in the repo; updates take effect immediately without re-running the script.
Adding a new skill-helper script requires updating the SKILL_HELPERS array in install-hooks.sh and re-running it.
