What it does
Linting Shell Scripts is an agent skill from agntcy/coffeeAgntcy. Runs task shell:lint (shellcheck + shfmt) against every shell script in the repo and fixes what it reports. Use when writing or editing a .sh/.bash file, before finishing such a change, or when asked to lint or format shell scripts.
Its SKILL.md is about 550 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Development, covering Shell scripting and Linting and formatting. It works with Bash. The repository describes itself as: End-to-end reference application for AGNTCY Components. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Editing a .sh/.bash file
- Before finishing such a change
- Format shell scripts
Example prompts
- “/linting-shell-scripts”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 36f1923. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Linting Shell Scripts loads about 548 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 147 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Linting shell scripts
What this skill does
Runs task shell:lint (defined in Taskfile.yaml,
wrapping scripts/lint/lint_shell.bash) to
check every shell script in the repo with shellcheck and shfmt, then fixes
whatever it reports. This is the same check task check:all runs as part
of checks.yaml. See
.agents/rules/quality/shell-script-linting.md
for the underlying rule.
Workflow
- [ ] 1. If shellcheck/shfmt aren't already available, run: task setup &&
source scripts/env.sh (bootstraps both into .tools/bin/, pinned to
scripts/lib/versions.sh - no global install needed)
- [ ] 2. Run: task shell:lint
- [ ] 3. For each shellcheck finding, fix the underlying issue (don't
silence with a directive unless the flagged pattern is
intentional - then use `# shellcheck disable=SCxxxx` with a
comment on why, next to the line it applies to)
- [ ] 4. For shfmt diffs, run: task shell:fmt (rewrites in place), or fix
by hand if only a couple of files changed
- [ ] 5. Re-run task shell:lint to confirm it's cleanNotes
task shell:fmtonly fixes formatting - it never touches a shellcheck finding, so step 3 still needs doing even after running it.- shfmt is pinned to
-i 4 -ci(4-space indent, indented switch-case bodies) for this repo - don't reach for a different width or tab indentation even if a script predates the convention. - A script that must do something shellcheck flags on purpose (e.g. an
intentionally unquoted glob expansion) should suppress that one check
with an inline
# shellcheck disable=SCxxxxdirective and a comment explaining why, rather than leaving the finding unresolved or disabling the check repo-wide.
