Bash Expert

Creates production-quality bash/sh scripts for macOS/Linux with error handling, argument parsing, output formatting.

1. Core Patterns

Strict Mode

Option	Purpose	When
set -euo pipefail	Exit on error + undefined vars + pipeline fail	Default
set -x	Debug trace	Development
set +e / set -e	Temporary disable	Around expected failures

Error Handling

Pattern	Example	Use
Exit on fail	cmd || exit 1	Critical
Warn continue	cmd || echo "⚠️ warning"	Optional
Capture code	cmd; EC=$?	Conditional
Default value	${VAR:-default}	Missing vars
Required var	${VAR:?error msg}	Mandatory
Cleanup trap	trap cleanup EXIT	Resources

2. Arguments

Positional

Pattern	Example
First with default	CMD="${1:-help}"
Shift after capture	shift; ARGS="$@"
Check count	[[ $# -lt 2 ]] && usage
All args	"$@" (quoted)

Flags

while getopts "hvdf:" opt; do case $opt in h) usage;; v) VERBOSE=1;; d) DRY_RUN=1;; f) FILE="$OPTARG";; *) exit 1;; esac; done; shift $((OPTIND-1))

Keyword Detection

ARGS_LOWER=$(echo "${1:-}" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')
[[ "$ARGS_LOWER" =~ (install|setup|init) ]] && MODE="install"
[[ "$ARGS_LOWER" =~ (update|upgrade) ]] && MODE="update"
[[ -z "$ARGS_LOWER" ]] && MODE="default"

3. Architecture

Multi-Mode Dispatch

#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail
# Usage: script.sh <command> [options]
CMD="${1:-help}"
case "$CMD" in
  state)   do_state ;;
  install) do_install ;;
  help|*)  echo "Commands: state, install, help" ;;
esac

Helper Functions

Type	Pattern
Validate	validate_X() { [[ -d "$X" ]] || exit 1; }
Log	log() { echo "[$(date +%H:%M:%S)] $*"; }
Health	is_running() { curl -s localhost:8080 &>/dev/null; }
Retry	wait_for() { for i in {1..10}; do cmd && return; sleep 1; done; return 1; }
Cleanup	cleanup() { rm -f "$TMPFILE"; }; trap cleanup EXIT

4. Output

Status Symbols

Symbol	Meaning
✅	Success
❌	Error
⚠️	Warning
⏭️	Skipped
🔄	Updated

Markdown Table Output

echo "| Component | Status |"
echo "|-----------|--------|"
echo "| brew | ✅ |"

Phase Headers

echo "=== Phase 1: Scanning ===" && echo ""

5. Paths

Script Self-Location

SCRIPT_DIR="$(cd "$(dirname "$0")" && pwd)" | PLUGIN_ROOT="$(dirname "$(dirname "$SCRIPT_DIR")")"

Path Variables

Variable	Derivation
SCRIPT_DIR	$(cd "$(dirname "$0")" && pwd)
BREW_PREFIX	$(brew --prefix)
BREW_BIN	$BREW_PREFIX/bin
HOME_CONFIG	${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}

Claude Code Plugin Paths

Variable	Availability
$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT	Hooks only
$PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/X/scripts/	All contexts

In Skills: ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR} for own files (string substitution in SKILL.md). In Agents (subagents): $BC_PLUGIN_ROOT (injected by pre-task.mjs)

6. Homebrew

Package Management

Operation	Command
Check	brew list PKG &>/dev/null
Install	brew install PKG
Tap install	brew install user/tap/pkg
Version	brew info PKG | grep -oE '[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+'
Prefix	brew --prefix

Services

Op	Command
Start	brew services start PKG
Stop	brew services stop PKG
Restart	brew services restart PKG
Check	brew services list | grep PKG | grep started

macOS vs Linux

Feature	macOS	Linux
Brew prefix	/opt/homebrew (ARM), /usr/local (Intel)	/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew
timeout	gtimeout (coreutils)	timeout
sed -i	sed -i ''	sed -i
readlink -f	greadlink -f	readlink -f

7. JSON

Fallback Chain

1. jq -r '.key' file.json
2. python3 -c "import json,sys;print(json.load(sys.stdin)['key'])"
3. grep -oP '"key":\s*"\K[^"]+' file.json

jq Patterns

Op	Command
Get	jq -r '.key'
Nested	jq -r '.a.b.c'
Array	jq -r '.[0]'
Filter	jq -r '.[] | select(.active)'
Compact	jq -c .
Create	jq -n --arg k "$v" '{"key":$k}'

8. Environment

Shell Detection

Var	Purpose
$SHELL	User default
$0	Current script
$BASH_VERSION	Bash version
$ZSH_VERSION	Zsh version

Config Files

Shell	Interactive	Login
bash	~/.bashrc	~/.bash_profile
zsh	~/.zshrc	~/.zprofile

Patterns

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" | [[ -n "${VAR:-}" ]] && echo "set" | [[ -f ~/.env ]] && source ~/.env

9. Templates

Minimal

#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail
ARG="${1:-}"
[[ -z "$ARG" ]] && { echo "Usage: script.sh <arg>"; exit 1; }
echo "Processing: $ARG"
echo "✅ Done"

Full Multi-Mode

#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail
CMD="${1:-help}"
SCRIPT_DIR="$(cd "$(dirname "$0")" && pwd)"

log() { echo "[$(date +%H:%M:%S)] $*"; }
check_prereq() { command -v "$1" &>/dev/null || { echo "❌ Required: $1"; exit 1; }; }

cmd_status() { echo "| Component | Status |"; command -v brew &>/dev/null && echo "| brew | ✅ |" || echo "| brew | ❌ |"; }
cmd_install() { check_prereq brew; echo "✅ Installation complete"; }
cmd_help() { echo "Commands: status, install, help"; }

case "$CMD" in
    status)  cmd_status ;;
    install) cmd_install ;;
    help|*)  cmd_help ;;
esac

10. SKILL.md Integration

Bash blocks not auto-executed. Label: **EXECUTE** using Bash tool:

Validate: cmd && echo "✅" || echo "❌ FAILED"

Stop on error: > **STOP if ❌** — fix before continuing.

Skill files: ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR} (own dir) | Cross-skill/agent: $BC_PLUGIN_ROOT (pre-task.mjs)

11. Checklist

#	Check	Pattern
1	Shebang	#!/bin/bash
2	Strict mode	set -euo pipefail
3	Usage comment	Header
4	ShellCheck	shellcheck script.sh
5	Executable	chmod +x
6	Syntax	bash -n script.sh
7	Help mode	script.sh help
8	Error paths	Invalid input
9	Idempotent	Safe re-run

Avoid	Prefer
[ $VAR ]	[[ -n "$VAR" ]]
cat file | grep	grep X file
ls | while read	find -exec or glob
cd dir; cmd; cd -	(cd dir && cmd)
echo $VAR	echo "$VAR"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]	if cmd; then
/usr/local hardcoded	$(brew --prefix)
