Workflow
Creating/Refactoring Scripts
- Copy
scripts/pref_bash_script_template.shto the target path and rename it. - Update the SCRIPT INFO / USAGE header blocks.
- Implement behavior in
fct_execute_this, keepfct_main+trapstructure. - Follow the detailed conventions in
references/pref_bash.md. - Run shellcheck linting (see below).
Linting Scripts
Run shellcheck on scripts using the provided wrapper:
# Lint all scripts in scripts/ directory (default)
.opencode/skill/bash/scripts/run_shellck.sh
# Lint specific files or directories
.opencode/skill/bash/scripts/run_shellck.sh path/to/script.sh
.opencode/skill/bash/scripts/run_shellck.sh scripts/ other/dir/
The linting script:
- Automatically detects shell scripts by extension (
.sh,.bash,.zsh) or shebang - Exits non-zero on shellcheck failures
- Defaults to scanning
scripts/when no arguments provided
See references/pref_bash.md section 14 for shellcheck integration details.
