Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a devops skill usually runs commands, installs tools and uses cloud credentials.

Use when writing Bash scripts or command-line automation. Covers strict mode, safe quoting, argument parsing, trap-based cleanup, portability, and ShellCheck-clean scripts. Trigger on "write a bash script to", "shellcheck is complaining", "my script breaks on filenames with spaces", "works on my machine but fails in ci". Do not use for designing a full CLI tool's interface — see the cli-development skill; for pipeline structure, see the ci-cd skill.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'shell' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'shell' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named shell already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/nimadorostkar/Claude-Skills-collection' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '1691932edc17063d712a85d02bcc7a1cd3791057' -- 'skills/languages/shell' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/languages/shell' ~/.agents/skills/'shell' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'shell' ~/.claude/skills/'shell' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
