Windows: Write hook blocks .claude/plans/ files due to forward-slash regex

[Jena1011]

Bug

The PreToolUse:Write hook in hooks/hooks.json that blocks unnecessary .md file creation has a Windows path compatibility issue. The regex used to exclude .claude/plans/ only matches forward slashes, but Windows paths use backslashes.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use the plugin on Windows
2. Enter plan mode (Claude Code writes to .claude/plans/*.md)
3. The Write hook blocks the file creation with:

[Hook] BLOCKED: Unnecessary documentation file creation
[Hook] File: C:\Users\<user>\.claude\plans\generic-nibbling-key.md
[Hook] Use README.md for documentation instead

Root Cause

In hooks/hooks.json line 40, the exclusion regex is:

!/\.claude\/plans\//.test(p)

On Windows, the actual file path is C:\Users\<user>\.claude\plans\file.md (backslashes), so the regex \.claude\/plans\/ never matches.

Suggested Fix

Change the regex to match both forward and backslashes:

!/\.claude[\/\]plans[\/\]/.test(p)

In the JSON string (with proper escaping):

\.claude[\/\\]plans[\/\\]

Environment

• OS: Windows 11
• Claude Code plugin: everything-claude-code

Opened PR #286 to fix this issue: #286

The fix uses path normalization (replacing backslashes with forward slashes before matching) instead of a character class regex, which ensures cross-platform compatibility on Windows.

Resolved in ECC v1.8.0 (released 2026-03-05). Windows-safe path normalization was added for pre-write doc warning checks, including .claude/plans handling.\n\nShipped in PR #334 and included in release: https://github.com/affaan-m/everything-claude-code/releases/tag/v1.8.0\n\nReopen if this still reproduces on Windows with v1.8.0.
