# OpenCLI Agent Pack: shfmt

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

## What this CLI is for
Shell formatting, bash style, and ci hygiene from the terminal. Built by mvdan.

Best for: shell formatting, bash style, and ci hygiene 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 shfmt
```

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

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

```sh
shfmt -w scripts
```

## Guardrails for agents
- Prefer small commands and ask the agent to summarize plain text output.
- Start read-only, then ask before mutations.

## Suggested agent instruction
You may use shfmt (`shfmt`) for shell formatting, bash style, and ci hygiene 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.
