SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a robust framework for structuring Bash scripts and multi-file projects, ensuring long-term maintainability, testability, and clear separation of concerns. It helps prevent common pitfalls like mixed logic and I/O, and guides developers on where functions belong across different architectural layers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Layered Architecture: Enforces Domain, Application, and Adapter layers with strict inward dependencies.
  • Dependency Inversion: Uses function name parameters to decouple components.
  • Testing Strategy: Supports unit, stub, and integration testing for Bash scripts.
  • Use Case: Refactoring a monolithic "god script" into a maintainable, testable application by applying clean architecture principles to Bash.

Quick Start

Use the bx-bash-clean-architecture skill to generate a new project structure for a Bash script.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a Bash script with clean architecture principles?

Structure Bash scripts with clean architecture by separating functions into Domain, Application, and Adapter layers, enforcing strict inward dependencies to prevent mixed logic and I/O issues. This framework guides function placement and sets up ports for dependency inversion.

What is the best way to refactor a monolithic Bash script into testable layers?

Refactor a monolithic Bash script by dividing it into Domain, Application, and Adapter layers with strict inward dependencies. Use function name parameters for dependency inversion to decouple components, making the script testable and maintainable.

Can I implement dependency injection in Bash 4.3+ scripts?

Yes, you can implement dependency injection in Bash 4.3+ scripts by using function name parameters to decouple components. This approach sets up ports and enables dependency inversion within your shell scripting architecture.

How do you set up unit and integration testing for Bash scripts using clean architecture?

Set up Bash script testing by organizing code into isolated architectural layers, allowing stubs and integration tests to target specific functions. This separation of concerns enables effective unit, stub, and integration testing strategies.

Why should I not use clean architecture for a small Bash scripting project?

Applying clean architecture to small Bash scripts introduces unnecessary layering overhead, such as Domain, Application, and Adapter separation. This framework targets multi-file projects and monolithic scripts requiring long-term maintainability, not simple, short-lived scripts.
