Structured Bash Script Generator

What You'll Do

• 📥 Gather the script's goal, required positional/flag arguments, environment variables, and external program dependencies
• 🧱 Produce a Bash 3.2-compatible script skeleton with a check_requirements function that validates inputs and dependencies kindly
• 🛡️ Ensure the script sets safe defaults (set -euo pipefail), quotes expansions, and keeps logic portable to macOS/Linux Bash 3.2
• ✨ Format the script with shfmt when available and return a polished result ready for immediate use

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill whenever the user asks for a new bash script or a major refactor of an existing script and they expect:

• Guardrails around required arguments, environment variables, or external tools
• Friendly, actionable error messages when prerequisites are missing
• Compatibility with older Bash versions (macOS default 3.2)

Do not use this skill for:

• POSIX sh-only scripts (no Bash-specific features allowed)
• Small one-liners or trivial command snippets (respond inline instead)
