What is Bash strict mode?

Bash strict mode uses settings like 'set -Eeuo pipefail' to ensure scripts exit immediately when a command fails, a variable is unset, or a pipe sequence breaks.

Is this applicable to both Bash and POSIX shell?

While focused on Bash-specific features for maximum safety (like [[ ]] and arrays), it also includes guidance on POSIX-compliant alternatives for portability.

Can this skill help with temporary file management?

Yes, it provides patterns for using mktemp and EXIT traps to ensure temporary files are securely created and always cleaned up, even on script failure.

Does it support dry-run functionality?

Yes, it includes patterns for implementing a DRY_RUN flag, allowing you to preview destructive operations like file deletions or cloud API calls before executing them.

How does this skill improve CI/CD pipelines?

It implements fault-tolerant patterns and comprehensive logging, ensuring pipelines fail loudly and clearly rather than proceeding with corrupted states.

Implements robust, production-ready shell scripting techniques to ensure reliability and fault tolerance in automation tasks.

关于

This skill equips Claude with a comprehensive framework for writing high-quality Bash scripts that are resilient to common execution pitfalls. It covers essential defensive programming practices such as strict mode enforcement, sophisticated error trapping, and safe variable handling. Whether building CI/CD pipelines, system utilities, or complex deployment automation, this skill ensures that shell scripts are maintainable, portable, and capable of handling edge cases without silent failures.
