ShellCheck Configuration & Linting

About

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for integrating ShellCheck, the premier static analysis tool for shell scripts, into your development workflow. It offers detailed guidance on project-level configuration through .shellcheckrc, interpretation of SC-series error codes, and the suppression of false positives. By leveraging this skill, developers can automate the detection of common pitfalls—such as quoting issues, parser errors, and non-POSIX compliance—ensuring that scripts are robust, secure, and maintainable across different shell environments and CI/CD pipelines.
