Security & Testing

Enhances shell script quality and reliability by implementing standardized ShellCheck configurations and automated linting workflows.

About

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for mastering ShellCheck, the industry-standard static analysis tool for shell scripts. It enables developers to configure .shellcheckrc files, interpret complex error codes (ranging from parser errors to POSIX compliance issues), and seamlessly integrate linting into CI/CD pipelines like GitHub Actions and GitLab CI. By providing implementation patterns for quoting, portability, and performance optimization, it ensures that scripts are robust, secure, and maintainable across Bash, sh, and other POSIX-compliant shells.
