Preflight Checklist
What's Wrong?
The plugin guide and example implementations suggest using the CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT environment variable for portability. When running in Windows native (not WSL) CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT is not compatible with bash paths.
When executing in cmd.exe, CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT is set to a path that uses Windows-style back slashes. In Powershell, it uses forward slashes, but uses the C:/ prefix, which is also not compatible with bash.
CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT should be normalized to work with Bash on all platforms.
What Should Happen?
Prompts that reference bundled scripts and execute them via bash should behave properly, regardless of operating system.
Error Messages/Logs
Steps to Reproduce
Create a plugin that has a bundled command which references and is instructed to execute a bundled shell script.
Follow the best practice guidance and reference the path to this bundled shell script using ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/path/to/script.sh.
Install the plugin and execute the command. The command will likely fail to find the script because the unnormalized path will be malformed.
