ldilov Shell Engineering
Use this skill when the repository is primarily shell automation or when the task touches shell scripts.
Activation
- shell scripts dominate the task or repository
- the work touches automation, bootstrap, CI, or operational workflows

Execution Contract
- inspect execution context, portability, and failure handling assumptions
- select the common and shell-specific rules for the change
- implement with explicit quoting, safety, and destructive-operation boundaries
- verify with the safest repo script path and the structured checklist
Outputs
- touched-script summary
- implementation summary
- validation result or blocker note
Validation
- run the script in dry-run or non-destructive mode when possible
- consult
knowledge-bases/structured/shell/docs/review-checklist.md
Escalation
- escalate when portability or destructive operations make the risk non-local
- escalate when shell compatibility cannot be confirmed safely
