Can it help me debug existing scripts?

Absolutely. It helps identify common issues like missing quotes, unsafe variable expansions, and improper error handling that often lead to silent failures or unexpected behavior.

Does this skill support POSIX-compliant shells?

Yes, it provides specific guidance and alternative patterns for writing portable scripts that work across diverse environments beyond just Bash, such as /bin/sh.

How does this help with script security?

It enforces practices like input sanitization, avoiding the use of 'eval', and secure temporary file creation to prevent common vulnerabilities like command injection.

Does it provide a standardized script structure?

Yes, it includes a comprehensive boilerplate template featuring argument parsing, logging functions, and automatic cleanup routines to ensure a professional foundation for every script.
