Bash Code Quality

Category: Dev Tools  ·  Sub-category: dev-shells  ·  Last updated:
Defensive coding standards for bash scripts authored as deliverables. Apply when writing or editing any `.sh` file or a script whose first line is a bash shebang — even when the user does not ask for best practices explicitly.

From the source SKILL.md

This skill defines defensive coding standards for bash scripts authored as deliverables — files that are committed to the repository, installed on user machines, or executed in CI/CD environments. It synthesises strict-mode discipline, safe quoting, error trapping, and proven recurring patterns into a single actionable reference.
