| name | shell-script |
| description | Use when creating editing reviewing or running shell scripts, Bash scripts, sh files, repository scripts, automation wrappers, validation scripts, install scripts, CI helper scripts, or command-line glue code. Requires strict shell mode. |
Shell scripts must enable strict mode immediately after the shebang:
set -euo pipefail
For generated scripts, include a Bash shebang unless the user requires another shell.
When asked for complete script contents, return a fenced bash code block containing the script. Put set -euo pipefail immediately after the shebang and before any executable command.
Preserve every requested command in generated scripts. If the user asks for git status --short, include git status --short exactly inside the script; do not replace it with a summary or a different status command.
For a requested scripts/check-release.sh that prints the current branch and then runs git status --short, use this shape:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail
git branch --show-current
git status --short
Reject shell script changes that omit set -euo pipefail or place it late in the file.
This requirement applies to short scripts too. Treat strict mode as required, not optional. When a proposed script omits strict mode because it is short, say that short scripts still need set -euo pipefail.
