What problem does it solve?

This Skill empowers users to efficiently manage data flow between bash processes using advanced Inter-Process Communication (IPC) techniques, eliminating the need for temporary files and enabling complex data pipelines.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Process Substitution: Treat command output as files for commands that require file arguments.
• Named Pipes (FIFOs): Enable communication between unrelated processes.
• Coprocesses: Run commands interactively within the current shell.
• Use Case: Stream data from a network request directly into a processing script without saving it to disk first, or send logs to multiple destinations simultaneously.

Quick Start

Use the process-substitution-fifos skill to demonstrate sending data from one bash command to another using process substitution.
