What's Wrong?

Environment:

• Windows 11, bash shell
• Username path: C:\Users\Lea Chan\ (contains space)

Problem:
Hook commands fail with: bash: /c/Users/Lea: No such file or directory

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} expands to a path with a space, and despite the command string using escaped quotes around it ("python \"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/stop.py\""), bash word-splits the path at the space.

Affected hooks: All hookify hooks (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, UserPromptSubmit)

Expected: Hooks should work regardless of spaces in the user's home directory path.

What Should Happen?

Suggested fix: Ensure the expanded CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT value is properly quoted when passed to bash -c. The issue is likely in how the hook runner constructs and invokes the shell command, not in hooks.json itself.

Error Messages/Logs

Stop hook error: Failed with non-blocking status code: bash: /c/Users/Lea: No such file or directory

Steps to Reproduce

Enter any instruction in claude code if hookify ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} file location has spaces, hook will fail.
