shell-scripting — Claude Code plugin: what it does, how to install
This plugin sets up the agent for production-grade Bash scripting with defensive patterns. It enforces POSIX standard compliance and test coverage for shell code.
/plugin marketplace add wshobson/agents
/plugin install shell-scripting@claude-code-workflowsWhat shell-scripting does
The plugin guides Claude Code to generate production-grade Bash scripts using defensive programming. It enforces strict error handling and safe variable evaluation.
Generated code follows the POSIX standard. Scripts stay portable across Unix environments without relying on undocumented shell quirks.
The tool also focuses on testing shell scripts before deployment. Without Bash or a POSIX-compliant environment, these conventions will not match your target system.
What it helps with
- write defensive Bash scripts for production systems
- maintain POSIX standard compliance across shell scripts
- create tests for automated command-line scripts
Example prompts for the agent
- Write a Bash backup script using defensive programming principles
- Check this shell script for POSIX standard compliance
- Generate tests for our log rotation shell script
