defensive-bash

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you write production-grade Bash scripts for server automation by enforcing safety, robust error handling, idempotency, and thorough logging.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Safe scripting foundations: Always start with strict modes and safe IFS handling to prevent common pitfalls.
• Comprehensive error handling: Centralized error reporting with clear messages and line references.
• Idempotent operations & logging: Safe file operations, backups, atomic writes, and structured logging for maintainability.

Quick Start

Create a new script and apply the defensive-bash patterns, e.g. begin with the standard headers, add validation, and wrap critical commands with error handling.
