Shell

Purpose

Write shell scripts that fail loudly instead of silently, handle paths with spaces, and clean up after themselves. Most shell bugs are one missing quote or one unchecked exit code.

When to Use

• Writing or reviewing Bash scripts.
• Building CI steps, deployment scripts, or developer tooling.
• Hardening a script that "works on my machine".
• Deciding whether a task has outgrown shell entirely.
