Is the generated shell code secure?

Security is a priority; the skill enforces best practices like avoiding 'eval', using 'mktemp' for temporary files, and properly quoting variables to prevent word splitting and globbing issues.

What shells does this skill support?

This skill specializes in both Bash and Zsh, providing specific optimizations, advanced globbing patterns, and syntax adjustments for each environment.

How does this skill handle script errors?

It implements 'set -euo pipefail' by default to ensure scripts exit immediately on errors, undefined variables, or pipe failures, preventing silent bugs.

Does it recommend modern command-line tools?

Yes, it suggests high-performance modern alternatives such as ripgrep (rg) for searching, fd for finding files, and jq or yq for processing structured data.
