claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Skill execution fails when glob pattern contains backticks - shell command substitution bug [1 participants]

TL;DR

Escape backticks in file paths or use single quotes when passing them to shell commands to prevent command substitution errors.

Guidance

• Verify that the issue is resolved by checking if the shell command executes without syntax errors after applying the suggested fix.
• Use single quotes around file paths in glob patterns to prevent bash from interpreting backticks as command substitution.
• Test the skill execution pipeline with the modified file paths to ensure that the fix works as expected.
• Consider updating the skill execution pipeline to automatically escape backticks in file paths to prevent similar issues in the future.

Example

# Before
github-issue-cycle "!`.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/default.md`"

# After
github-issue-cycle "'!.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/default.md'"

Notes

The suggested fix assumes that the issue is caused by the interpretation of backticks as command substitution by bash. If the issue persists after applying the fix, further investigation may be necessary to identify the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply the workaround by escaping backticks or using single quotes around file paths in glob patterns, as this is a straightforward and effective solution to prevent command substitution errors.
