shellcheck-configuration from wshobson/agents is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add wshobson/agents/shellcheck-configuration@git:20260522.be57c0b

Pins git:20260522.be57c0b in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Master ShellCheck static analysis configuration and usage for shell script quality. Use when setting up linting infrastructure, fixing code issues, or ensuring script portability.

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

# ShellCheck Configuration and Static Analysis

Comprehensive guidance for configuring and using ShellCheck to improve shell script quality, catch common pitfalls, and enforce best practices through static code analysis.

## When to Use This Skill

- Setting up linting for shell scripts in CI/CD pipelines
- Analyzing existing shell scripts for issues
- Understanding ShellCheck error codes and warnings
- Configuring ShellCheck for specific project requirements
- Integrating ShellCheck into development workflows
- Suppressing false positives and configuring rule sets
- Enforcing consistent code quality standards
- Migrating scripts to meet quality gates

## Detailed patterns and worked examples

Detailed pattern documentation lives in `references/details.md`. Read that file when the navigation tier above is insufficient.

## Best Practices

1. **Run ShellCheck in CI/CD** - Catch issues before merging
2. **Configure for your target shell** - Don't analyze bash as sh
3. **Document exclusions** - Explain why violations are suppressed
4. **Address violations** - Don't just disable warnings
5. **Enable strict mode** - Use `--enable=all` with careful exclusions

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add wshobson/agents/shellcheck-configuration@sha256:0442d7cb63b35ac5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260522.be57c0b, 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.
