Bug Description

The security-guidance@claude-plugins-official plugin's hook uses python3 which doesn't exist on Windows.

File

hooks/hooks.json:

"command": "python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/security_reminder_hook.py"

Error Message

Plugin hook error: Python is niet gevonden; uitvoeren zonder argumenten om te installeren vanaf de Microsoft Store...

(Dutch locale - "Python not found")

Environment

OS: Windows 11
Python: Installed at C:\Users\...\Python313\python.exe
Issue: Windows uses python or py, not python3

Suggested Fix

Use python (works on all platforms) or add cross-platform detection.

Hit the same issue - adding a workaround that worked for me:

Workaround

Create a python3.bat file somewhere in your PATH containing:

@"C:\Path\To\Your\python.exe" %*

This aliases python3 to your Python installation and the plugin works.
