FAQPage Schema
How do I add standardized banners to PowerShell and Bash scripts?

Use the fixed 79-character banner template provided by this Skill. Insert the template into new .ps1 and .sh scripts, fill in Tool Name, Author, Email, Version, and other metadata fields, then run the script to display the banner before execution.

What information should a script banner include?

A standardized script banner includes Tool Name, About, Author, Email, Version, Last Updated, and Requires fields. This Skill enforces aligned formatting across these fields to ensure consistent branding and metadata visibility.

Can I automate banner deployment across multiple scripts?

Yes. This Skill applies banner templates automatically to all new PowerShell scripts (.ps1), Bash scripts (.sh), and executable tools in your repository, ensuring consistent branding without manual effort per script.

Does the banner appear in log outputs?

Yes. This Skill duplicates the banner in log outputs for traceability, so script metadata and execution confirmation are recorded alongside console output.

What happens when a script with a banner runs?

The script displays the ASCII banner with metadata before executing main logic and requires user confirmation. This prevents accidental execution and surfaces script details upfront.

Can I customize the banner template for my repository?

The banner uses a fixed 79-character-wide template with aligned formatting. You fill in script-specific values (Tool Name, Author, Email, Version, Last Updated, Requires) within this standardized structure.
