What shell environment is required?

The skill is optimized for standard Linux/Unix bash environments and utilizes common utilities like grep, awk, and sed for data manipulation.

Does it support dry-run mode?

Yes, users can preview commands using a dry-run flag to ensure accuracy and safety before actual execution.

Can I run long-running processes?

Yes, the skill features built-in timeout protection to prevent processes from hanging and provides structured output capture for monitoring progress.

How does the Bash Executor handle dangerous commands?

The skill includes a security validation layer that automatically blocks destructive patterns like 'rm -rf /', root-level operations, and unauthorized access to system files.

Is this skill compatible with Git and Docker?

Absolutely. It is designed to orchestrate common CLI tools including Git for repository management and Docker for container operations.
