High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I source shared utility scripts across iTerm plugin skills?▼

Sourcing shared utility scripts across iTerm plugin skills involves referencing the `iterm-utils.sh` file from a shared directory structure, eliminating duplication and ensuring consistent script execution across sibling directories.

What is the best way to avoid duplicating bash utilities in multiple iTerm scripts?▼

Avoiding bash utility duplication in iTerm scripts is achieved by using a cross-plugin sourcing pattern that pulls standard functions from a centralized shared location, reducing setup complexity and preventing scripting errors.

Does cross-plugin sourcing require specific dependencies for iTerm bash scripting?▼

Cross-plugin sourcing requires no external dependencies, relying solely on the presence of the `iterm-utils.sh` utility script stored within the shared location of the iTerm plugin directory structure.

Can I use shared utility scripts with sibling directories in my iTerm plugin?▼

Shared utility scripts work directly with sibling directories inside the iTerm plugin by sourcing `iterm-utils.sh` from a shared path, allowing all sibling skills to access a standard set of common functions.

Why does my iTerm bash script fail to find standard utility functions?▼

iTerm bash scripts fail to find standard utility functions when they do not correctly source `iterm-utils.sh` from the designated shared location in the plugin directory, breaking consistency across sibling skills.
