bash-script-generator

bash-script-generator is a skill for Claude Code from akin-ozer/cc-devops-skills. It costs 25 tokens per session (1,548 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for creating Bash or POSIX shell scripts, which automate commands in a terminal or Unix-like system.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build automation, text-processing scripts with tools such as grep, awk, or sed, scheduled jobs, command-line helpers, and continuous-integration utilities.
Why use it?
It turns repeated manual command-line work into a documented, repeatable script. Validation steps help catch problems before the script is used.

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

bash-script-generator 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (assets/templates/standard-template.sh, examples/log-analyzer.sh, scripts/generate_script_template.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Bash Script Generator

Overview

Generate production-ready Bash scripts with clear requirements capture, deterministic generation flow, and validation-first iteration.

Trigger Phrases

Use this skill when the user asks to:

  • Create, generate, write, or build a Bash/shell script
  • Convert manual CLI steps into an automation script
  • Build a text-processing script using grep, awk, or sed
  • Create an operations helper script, cron script, or CI utility script

Do not use this skill for validating an existing script only. Use devops-skills:bash-script-validator for validation-only requests.

Execution Model

Follow stages in order. Do not skip a stage; use the documented fallback when blocked.

Stage 0: Preflight

  1. Confirm scope and target output path.
  2. Confirm shell target:
  • Default: bash
  • If portability is requested: POSIX sh
  1. Check capabilities and pick fallback path:
Capability Default Path Fallback Path
Requirement clarification AskUserQuestion tool Ask same questions in normal chat; mark unresolved items as assumptions
Script scaffold bash scripts/generate_script_template.sh ... Copy assets/templates/standard-template.sh manually or hand-craft minimal scaffold
Validation devops-skills:bash-script-validator Local checks: bash -n, shellcheck if available, sh -n for POSIX mode

If a fallback path is used, state it explicitly in the final summary.

Stage 1: Capture Requirements

Collect only what is needed to generate the script correctly:

  • Input source and format
  • Output destination and format
  • Error handling behavior (fail-fast/retry/continue)
  • Security constraints (sensitive data, privilege level)
  • Performance constraints (large files, parallelism)
  • Portability requirement (Bash-only vs POSIX)

Then create a Captured Requirements table with stable IDs.

## Captured Requirements

| Requirement ID | Description | Source | Implementation Plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| REQ-001 | Parse nginx logs from file input | User | `parse_args()` + `validate_file()` + `awk` parser |
| REQ-002 | Output top 10 errors | User | `analyze_errors()` + `sort | uniq -c | head -10` |
| REQ-003 | Handle large files efficiently | Assumption | Single-pass `awk`; avoid multi-pass loops |

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.
