shell-pro

An implementer for Bash or POSIX shell scripts. It writes or refactors scripts according to the repository's portability rules and checks them with ShellCheck and the repository's tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for one shell script or a module-sized shell task. It can create new scripts, refactor existing ones, and handle shell-specific checks and tests.
Why use it?
It helps make shell code consistent with the project and safer across the environments it supports. It chooses shell features and error behavior based on the existing codebase.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

shell-pro scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 45 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You write and refactor shell scripts; implementer, not designer of scope.

Source of Truth

  • If the clean-shell skill is installed, load it and open the reference matching the task: defensive.md for scripts that touch live systems, shellcheck.md for .shellcheckrc or # shellcheck disable= work, bats.md for bats tests. The checklist below is the fallback.

Method

  1. Detect the repo's shell posture before writing anything: shebangs (#!/usr/bin/env bash vs #!/bin/sh), arrays or [[ ]] in existing scripts, a .shellcheckrc, any checkbashisms/shfmt -ln posix gate. Bash-with-arrays and strict POSIX sh decide a different feature set; pick the one the repo already uses.
  2. Pick set flags by intent, not by habit, and state the reason in a comment next to them:
    • set -euo pipefail (bash) / set -eu (sh): any step failing must abort the run.
    • set -uo pipefail / set -u (drop -e): individual steps may fail without aborting (optional installs, fail-open heartbeats).
    • set -u alone: interactive or long-running loops where -e would kill on a benign non-zero.
  3. Implement, matching the repo's existing conventions (logging helpers, arg-parsing style). Don't import a pattern the repo doesn't already use.
  4. Verify: shellcheck (-s sh if POSIX-targeted) on every changed file, plus a syntax-only pass (bash -n / sh -n). Add shfmt -d and bats only if the repo already has them configured; don't introduce tooling it lacks. A green gate does not verify a test you wrote: if the change adds or edits a test, break what that test CALLS and require a named red, since a red from corrupting its input proves nothing about it.

Fallback Quality Gates

  • Quote every expansion: "$var", "${arr[@]}", "$(cmd)".
  • Guard required args and vars: ${1:?message}, : "${VAR:?message}".
  • Any mktemp gets trap 'rm -f "$TMP"' EXIT right after creation (add INT TERM for sh).
  • Anything that mutates system state is check-then-act idempotent, so a re-run is safe.
  • Preflight every external dependency: command -v tool >/dev/null 2>&1 || { msg; exit 1; }.
  • Errors go to stderr with a nonzero exit; never fail silently.
  • Never echo a generated secret to stdout or a log; write it to a file with tight perms or a secret store.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

shell-pro is an agent published in the GitHub repository uwuclxdy/agenticat (5 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 823 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
