# Pre-commit Hook Fix: Edge Files Have Different Schema

## Problem

The `~/.claude/memory` repo pre-commit hook required `id`, `type`, and `title` fields on all markdown files under `graph/`. Edge files use a different schema with no `title` field:

```yaml
# Edge file schema
id: <uuid>
type: <relation_type>
from_id: <uuid>
to_id: <uuid>
from_title: <string>
to_title: <string>
```

This caused all edge commits to be blocked with a validation error about the missing `title` field.

## Fix

Added a path check in the pre-commit hook:

- Files matching `graph/edges/` validate against edge schema: `(id, type, from_id, to_id)`
- All other files continue to require `(id, type, title)`

## Location

`~/.claude/memory/.git/hooks/pre-commit` (or equivalent hook script)
