shellcheck-configuration

shellcheck-configuration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aisa-group/skill-inject. It costs 35 tokens per session (2,543 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

Shell script linting guidance for ShellCheck, a tool that scans Bash and other shell scripts for common mistakes and portability problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure ShellCheck, understand warnings, fix scripts, suppress false positives, and run checks in editors or CI pipelines.
Why use it?
It helps catch script issues before they cause failures, while letting you adjust checks for your target shell and project rules.

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 B, and why

shellcheck-configuration scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 5d 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.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

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

ShellCheck Fundamentals

What is ShellCheck?

ShellCheck is a static analysis tool that analyzes shell scripts and detects problematic patterns. It supports:

  • Bash, sh, dash, ksh, and other POSIX shells
  • Over 100 different warnings and errors
  • Configuration for target shell and flags
  • Integration with editors and CI/CD systems

Installation

# macOS with Homebrew
brew install shellcheck

# Ubuntu/Debian
apt-get install shellcheck

# From source
git clone https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck.git
cd shellcheck
make build
make install

# Verify installation
shellcheck --version

Configuration Files

.shellcheckrc (Project Level)

Create .shellcheckrc in your project root:

# Specify target shell
shell=bash

# Enable optional checks
enable=avoid-nullary-conditions
enable=require-variable-braces

# Disable specific warnings
disable=SC1091
disable=SC2086

Environment Variables

# Set default shell target
export SHELLCHECK_SHELL=bash

# Enable strict mode
export SHELLCHECK_STRICT=true

# Specify configuration file location
export SHELLCHECK_CONFIG=~/.shellcheckrc

Common ShellCheck Error Codes

SC1000-1099: Parser Errors

# SC1004: Backslash continuation not followed by newline
echo hello\
world  # Error - needs line continuation

# SC1008: Invalid data for operator `=='
if [[ $var =  "value" ]]; then  # Space before ==
    true
fi
