What problem does it solve?

Script authors often struggle to write portable, reliable Bash and POSIX scripts, with insufficient safety and cross-platform handling.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Provides defensive scripting patterns (set -euo pipefail, quotes, traps) and cross-platform considerations.
  • Guides on portability across macOS, Linux, and other POSIX environments, including shell option detection and POSIX sh usage.
  • Use case: refactor a brittle script to be safer, more portable, and easier to audit.

Quick Start

Generate a portable Bash snippet that demonstrates defensive scripting patterns for a given task.
