How does this skill improve Bash debugging?

It implements advanced tracing using custom PS4 prompts, conditional debug modes, and variable inspection tools to pinpoint exactly where and why a script is failing.

Will this skill clutter my repository with documentation?

No, it follows strict cleanliness guidelines, prioritizing updates to existing README.md files and only creating new documentation when explicitly requested.

Does this skill support Windows file paths?

Yes, it enforces mandatory backslash usage for file paths on Windows to prevent common execution errors in cross-platform environments.

How does it handle unexpected script failures?

The skill provides trap-based error handlers that capture exit codes and stack traces, along with rollback mechanisms to undo partial operations if a script crashes.

Can I use this to optimize script performance?

Absolutely. It includes patterns for execution time profiling and memory tracking to identify specific commands that are slowing down your workflows.
