Master ShellCheck static analysis configuration and usage
by wshobsonFree
Description
shellcheck-configuration is an agent skill from the wshobson/agents collection for configuring and using ShellCheck, the static analysis tool for shell scripts. ShellCheck reads a script and reports common mistakes and pitfalls, so problems are caught before a script runs in production. The skill covers setting up ShellCheck linting in CI/CD pipelines, analyzing existing scripts for issues, understanding ShellCheck's error codes and warnings so the agent can explain each finding, configuring ShellCheck for the requirements of a particular project, and integrating it into development workflows. It also covers suppressing false positives in a controlled way, so a rule is silenced only where it is wrong and with a note explaining why, and configuring rule sets that match a team's standards. The skill's purpose is to enforce consistent code quality for shell scripts through static analysis, and it includes migrating scripts that must meet a quality gate. Detailed patterns and worked examples are kept in a separate reference file, which the agent reads when the main guidance is not enough. The skill applies when setting up linting for shell scripts, fixing code the tool flags, or ensuring that scripts meet a team's quality standard before they are merged. The agent applies the fixes, and the team decides which checks are required and which suppressions are acceptable. The skill is installed with the skills CLI from the wshobson/agents repository. Its skills.sh page showed about 11.3K installs and passing results from three security audits at the time of the scan.…
