Does this skill support GNU-specific tools?

No, this skill specifically prioritizes macOS-compatible commands to ensure scripts work natively on Apple environments without requiring the installation of GNU coreutils.

Is this skill useful for Linux users?

While the focus is on macOS compatibility, the emphasis on Bash best practices and long-flags results in cleaner, more professional scripts that are generally compatible with most Unix-like systems.

Why are long-form flags preferred?

Long-form flags (e.g., --verbose instead of -v) are used to improve human readability, making scripts much easier to audit, maintain, and understand for other developers.

How does this improve AI-generated shell commands?

It provides a domain-specific framework that prevents Claude from suggesting commands that might fail on a Mac or produce cryptic, hard-to-read one-liners.

开发者工具

Standardizes shell commands and scripts with a focus on readability and macOS environment compatibility.

关于

The Shell skill ensures that terminal commands and scripts generated by Claude are robust, readable, and perfectly suited for macOS environments. By enforcing the use of descriptive long-form flags and avoiding GNU-specific extensions that often break on Mac, this skill helps developers create portable, maintainable scripts that work seamlessly across Unix-based systems without requiring external dependencies.
