coding-guidance-bash SKILL.md skillA

coding-guidance-bash from n-n-code/n-n-code-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add n-n-code/n-n-code-skills/coding-guidance-bash@git:20260904.6c1f699

Pins git:20260904.6c1f699 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Bash implementation and review guidance for automation and repository scripts; not for one-off command execution, POSIX `sh`, or release-workflow design where `project-release-maintainer` is primary. Covers safe quoting, explicit failure handling, process ownership, and maintainable shell boundaries.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Bash Coding Guidance

This skill adds portable Bash implementation, refactoring, and review guidance.

## Adjacent Skills

This skill provides portable Bash engineering principles. Compose with:

- **Workflow:** **thinking** (ambiguous decision framing),
  **recursive-thinking** (stress-testing),
  **security** (threat modeling)
- **Domain overlays:** **project-core-dev** (repo-specific completion discovery
  and reporting when needed),
  **project-platform-diagnose** (environment-sensitive diagnosis),
  **project-release-maintainer** (release or packaging workflows that happen to
  use Bash)

## Reference Map

Load references only when the task needs that depth:

- [references/failure-and-cleanup.md](references/failure-and-cleanup.md) for
  strict options, `errexit` edge cases, traps, temporary resources, and explicit
  failure propagation
- [references/process-and-filesystem-safety.md](references/process-and-filesystem-safety.md)
  for command construction, background process ownership, concurrent
  invocation, filename-safe iteration, and cross-platform tool boundaries

## When Not to Lean on This Skill

- non-shell work

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add n-n-code/n-n-code-skills/coding-guidance-bash@sha256:3c719ecfde459891

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260904.6c1f699, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
