## Template Two templates cover the two kinds of scripts. Copy the right one exactly and fill in the specific logic. - **Simple:** Scripts intended to be run directly by a user. These typically take either no arguments or a single positional argument. Start from [`assets/template-simple.sh`](assets/template-simple.sh). It shows the one-argument form; if the script takes no arguments, delete the argument check and keep the top comment. - **Complex:** Scripts capable of taking multiple arguments via flags. Skill scripts should _always_ be considered complex scripts. Start from [`assets/template-complex.sh`](assets/template-complex.sh). These always support `--help`. ## Conventions - File: `<name>.sh` with kebab-case (e.g., `extract-pr-number.sh`) - Make the file executable (`chmod +x`) - Flag-based arguments using `--flag-name` (kebab-case). Only use positional args for very simple cases. - Arguments are always required. Never make script arguments optional unless the user _explicitly_ asks for it. - Full variable names (`directory`, not `dir`) - Exit `0` for success, `1` for errors - stdout for primary output, stderr for errors/warnings/progress messages ## Required patterns Always: - `set -euo pipefail` at the top of every script - All error messages must start with `Error: ` and go to stderr (`>&2`) - Always quote variable expansions (`"$variable"`) Simple scripts: - A top comment describing what the script does - No `--help` flag - If it takes an argument, print a
