What problem does it solve?

This skill provides best practices for writing robust, maintainable, and secure shell scripts, eliminating common pitfalls and vulnerabilities. It automates linting, error handling, and testing, ensuring your scripts are reliable and production-ready.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Robust Error Handling: Guides on using set -euo pipefail and proper exit codes for reliable script execution.
• Security Best Practices: Teaches input validation, avoiding eval, and secure handling of sensitive data.
• Automated Linting & Testing: Integrates ShellCheck for static analysis and Bats for unit testing shell scripts.
• Use Case: Develop a new deployment script by applying these standards, automatically configuring ShellCheck to catch common errors and vulnerabilities before deployment.

Quick Start

Generate a basic shell script template with robust error handling and a sample test file using Bats.
