Skill27 starsChanged 2 months agoCC-BY-4.0View on GitHub
State-of-the-art shell scripting (bash and PowerShell, defensive) for writing and auditing shell scripts, CI scripts, init/deploy scripts, container entrypoints, and Makefile recipes — and equally for the ad-hoc commands you run yourself: a grep/find/rg sweep whose result you are about to report, a one-liner pasted from a checklist, a pipeline whose exit status or empty output you are about to believe. Use when creating, modifying, reviewing or hardening shell code, AND before trusting any conclusion a shell command produced — especially an ABSENCE ("no matches", "0 results"), which a quoting bug produces identically. Trigger keywords: bash, shell script, sh, zsh, shellcheck, shfmt, CI script, Makefile shell, entrypoint script, set -euo pipefail, dotfiles, install script, cron job, wrapper script, one-liner, command line, grep sweep, search the codebase, verify a claim, no matches found, empty output, exit status, word splitting, glob, PowerShell, pwsh, .ps1, Windows CI, ErrorActionPreference.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
7 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 6 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
6
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
Licensed with conditions — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
