SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures your bash and shell scripts are robust, secure, and efficient by automatically checking them for syntax errors, style issues, and potential bugs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Syntax Validation: Catches errors before runtime using bash -n or sh -n.
  • Comprehensive Linting: Integrates ShellCheck for deep static analysis.
  • Security Audits: Identifies common vulnerabilities like command injection and unsafe eval usage.
  • Performance Checks: Flags inefficient patterns and suggests optimizations.
  • Portability Checks: Ensures POSIX compliance for sh scripts.
  • Use Case: Before committing a new shell script, use this Skill to automatically scan it for common mistakes, security flaws, and ensure it adheres to best practices.

Quick Start

Use the bash-script-validator skill to check the script located at '/home/user/scripts/deploy.sh' for any issues.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate bash scripts for syntax errors before runtime?▼

You can validate shell scripts for syntax errors before execution by running `bash -n` or `sh -n` checks to catch structural issues early.

What does ShellCheck linting detect in shell scripts?▼

ShellCheck linting detects common shell script mistakes by performing deep static analysis, identifying style issues, potential bugs, and unsafe patterns to provide actionable feedback.

How can I check my bash scripts for security vulnerabilities?▼

Check bash scripts for security vulnerabilities by scanning for command injection risks and unsafe `eval` usage, ensuring your shell scripts avoid common exploitable patterns.

Can I use this to check POSIX compliance for sh scripts?▼

Yes, you can check POSIX compliance for `sh` scripts through portability checks that ensure your shell scripts adhere to the required standards across different environments.

Do I need ShellCheck installed to perform comprehensive shell script analysis?▼

ShellCheck is an optional dependency required for comprehensive linting and deep static analysis, while basic syntax validation requires only bash or sh installed in your environment.
