# tool-shellcheck
## When To Use
- Lint shell scripts for quoting, expansion, and portability issues.
- Validate generated shell snippets before execution.
- Produce structured diagnostics for script quality gates.
## Trusted Commands
```bash
shellcheck script.sh
shellcheck --shell=bash script.sh
shellcheck --format=json script.sh
shellcheck --format=gcc script.sh
shellcheck --exclude=SC2034 script.sh
echo '#!/bin/bash' | shellcheck -
shellcheck --severity=error script.sh
```
## Safe Defaults
- Run shellcheck on every changed shell script.
- Specify shell with `--shell=` when shebang is missing or ambiguous.
- Treat warnings as actionable unless there is a justified exception.
## Common Pitfalls
- SC code warnings are often real bugs, not stylistic noise.
- Scripts without shebang may be interpreted with unintended shell defaults.
- Excluding too many SC rules weakens real protections.
## Output Interpretation
- Human-readable output includes line references and SC code IDs.
- `--format=json` provides machine-parseable findings.
## Why It Matters For Agents
- Agents frequently generate shell scripts; shellcheck catches failures early.
- JSON output allows automated remediation and summary workflows.
## Repo Conventions
- Shell scripts should pass shellcheck before merge.
- Do not weaken checks to force a green run.
## Trigger Examples
- Should trigger: "Lint this insta
