Can this skill help with debugging subprocess errors?

Yes, it provides specific references for Python subprocess patterns, avoiding 'shell=True' risks, and debugging shell parsing issues in both languages.

How does this skill improve script safety?

It enforces the use of dry-run modes to preview changes, automatic timestamped backups before file modifications, and strict error handling like 'set -Eeuo pipefail' in Bash.

Does it include help for command-line arguments?

The skill provides standardized argparse patterns for Python and robust argument handling for Bash to ensure your scripts have professional CLI interfaces.

When should I use Bash instead of Python for scripts?

Use Bash for simple CLI orchestration under 100 lines, piping commands, and performance-critical shell operations. Use Python for complex logic, data processing, and cross-platform compatibility.

How do I validate my scripts using this skill?

The skill provides specific validation workflows including syntax checks (bash -n), static analysis (shellcheck), and Python tools like pylint, black, and mypy.
