Bash Script is a production-ready Claude Code skill (quality score 70/100) in the dev-shells sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/bash-script/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when the user says "write a script", "bash script", "shell script", "automate this", "create a backup script", or asks to script a task.
The Bash Script skill is built for developers, power users, and teams automating repetitive workflows and improving developer experience. It is part of the open ClaudSkills registry, a community-curated catalog of 15,000+ capabilities you can install for Claude Code — the Claude CLI agent.
