bash-scripting
Bash scripting workflow for creating production-ready shell scripts
by sickn33Free
Description
bash-scripting is an agent skill that provides a workflow for creating robust, production-ready bash scripts with defensive programming, error handling and automated testing. It is for automation scripts, system administration tools, deployment scripts, backup solutions and CI/CD scripts. The skill is an index of phases rather than a fixed run of steps: you choose the phases that match the task, read each selected skill before using it, and respect the repository's and the user's constraints. It is explicit about authority. Cloud calls, host configuration, publishing, destructive operations and spending need the appropriate authorisation, and a checklist does not grant it. Use it when you are writing a shell script that will run unattended or on a shared machine, and you want it to fail safely and be tested. It is part of the sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills repository on GitHub, which has about 47,600 stars. The listing shows it as free, and it has about 2,300 installs. Its security audits show passes from Gen Agent Trust Hub, Socket and Snyk. Install it with npx skills add https://github.com/sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill bash-scripting.…
