description	Apply Zsh shell scripting conventions for error safety and logging. Use when authoring, modifying, or reviewing Zsh scripts, including mise file tasks and bootstrap scripts.

Zsh Scripting Conventions

Error Safety

• Use set -euo pipefail at the top of every Zsh script to fail fast on errors, undefined variables, and broken pipes.

Logging

• Use consistent logging functions across scripts in the same project; detect and reuse existing helpers before introducing new ones.

File Naming

• Use .zsh for Zsh scripts, including Zsh-based mise file tasks.
