# OpenCLI Agent Pack: ShellCheck

Use this when an AI agent needs to work with `shellcheck`.

## What this CLI is for
Shell linting, bash safety, and script review from the terminal. Built by koalaman.

Best for: shell linting, bash safety, and script review from the terminal.

## Agent readiness
Usable with guardrails (50/100)
- Supports non-interactive/scripted use.
- Works well in CI or repeatable automation.

## Install
```sh
brew install shellcheck
```

## Verify before real work
```sh
shellcheck --version
```
Expected signal: shellcheck responds locally and is ready for the first real command.

## Safe starting commands
```sh
shellcheck --version
```

```sh
shellcheck script.sh
```

## Guardrails for agents
- Prefer small commands and ask the agent to summarize plain text output.

## Suggested agent instruction
You may use ShellCheck (`shellcheck`) for shell linting, bash safety, and script review from the terminal.. First install it if missing, then run the verify command. Start with read-only or inspection commands. Summarize what you found before changing anything. Ask for confirmation before commands that mutate remote state, spend money, deploy, delete data, merge code, or expose secrets.
