Implement working PowerShell/CMD wrappers for claude-python command#36
Conversation
The claude-python command now only works in Git Bash on Windows due to insurmountable shell escaping issues when passing 28KB of prompt content through PowerShell/CMD. This change: - Removes non-functional PowerShell launcher and .cmd wrapper creation - Creates only bash launchers for all platforms - Bash wrapper directly executes claude with prompt content using $(cat) - PowerShell/CMD now properly return 'command not found' instead of silently failing to load the system prompt This prevents users from being misled by a command that appears to work but actually fails to load the Python developer system prompt.
Removed all references to using system prompts with PowerShell/CMD as they DO NOT WORK. Updated documentation to clearly state: - Windows users MUST use Git Bash for claude-python command - PowerShell/CMD cannot properly pass system prompts - No workarounds exist for PowerShell/CMD limitations - Removed non-functional PowerShell command examples This prevents users from wasting time with non-functional commands.
The previous implementation failed to properly pass the system prompt through PowerShell and CMD due to shell escaping issues. This fix: - Uses Git Bash as an intermediary to handle the system prompt correctly - PowerShell: Uses proper escaping with backticks and handles arguments - CMD: Direct Git Bash invocation with properly escaped quotes - Both wrappers support additional arguments like --continue All Windows shells (PowerShell, CMD, Git Bash) now work correctly with the claude-python command.
…lutions Detailed explanations of how the Windows shell solutions work: - PowerShell stop-parsing token and escaping mechanics - CMD command-line parsing and Git Bash invocation - Complete micro-timeline of execution for both shells These documents explain the intricate shell escaping required to pass multi-line system prompts through different Windows shells.
