Does this skill support portable scripts?

Yes, it provides guidance for both Bash-specific features like [[ ]] and POSIX-compliant syntax to ensure compatibility across different Linux distributions and Unix-like systems.

What makes a Bash script 'defensive'?

Defensive Bash programming uses techniques like strict mode, variable quoting, and error traps to ensure scripts fail predictably and safely rather than causing unintended side effects or silent failures.

Can I use this for CI/CD pipelines?

Absolutely. This skill is specifically designed to generate the robust, fault-tolerant scripts required for automated deployment, testing, and integration workflows where reliability is paramount.

How does it handle cleanup after errors?

The skill implements the EXIT and ERR trap patterns, ensuring that temporary files are deleted and background processes are terminated even if the script crashes unexpectedly.

Implements robust, production-grade Bash scripts using defensive programming techniques, error handling, and security best practices.

关于

This skill equips Claude with specialized knowledge to write highly reliable and fault-tolerant shell scripts suitable for production environments and CI/CD pipelines. It focuses on critical defensive patterns such as Bash strict mode, secure variable handling, idempotent designs, and comprehensive error trapping to prevent common pitfalls like silent failures or accidental data loss. Whether building system utilities or complex deployment automation, this skill ensures your shell scripts are maintainable, portable, and resilient across different platforms.
