Define script purpose\n2. Identify inputs/outputs\n3. Plan error handling\n4. Design logging strategy\n5. Document requirements\n\n#### Copy-Paste Prompts\n```\nUse @bash-pro to design production-ready bash script\n```\n\n### Phase 2: Script Structure\n\n#### Skills to Invoke\n- `bash-pro` - Script structure\n- `bash-defensive-patterns` - Safety patterns\n\n#### Actions\n1. Add shebang and strict mode\n2. Create usage function\n3. Implement argument parsing\n4. Set up logging\n5. Add cleanup handlers\n\n#### Copy-Paste Prompts\n```\nUse @bash-defensive-patterns to implement strict mode and error handling\n```\n\n### Phase 3: Core Implementation\n\n#### Skills to Invoke\n- `bash-linux` - Linux commands\n- `linux-shell-scripting` - Shell scripting\n\n#### Actions\n1. Implement main functions\n2. Add input validation\n3. Create helper functions\n4. Handle edge cases\n5. Add progress indicators\n\n#### Copy-Paste Prompts\n```\nUse @bash-linux to implement system commands\n```\n\n### Phase 4: Error Handling\n\n#### Skills to Invoke\n- `bash-defensive-patterns` - Error handling\n- `error-handling-patterns` - Error patterns\n\n#### Actions\n1. Add trap handlers\n2. Implement retry logic\n3. Create error messages\n4. Set up exit codes\n5. Add rollback capability\n\n#### Copy-Paste Prompts\n```\nUse @bash-defensive-patterns to add comprehensive error handling\n```\n\n### Phase 5: Logging\n\n#### Skills to Invoke\n- `bash-pro` - Logging patterns\n\n#### Actions\n1. Create logging function\n2. Add log levels\n3. Implement timestamps\n4. Configure log rotation\n5. Add debug mode\n\n#### Copy-Paste Prompts\n```\nUse @bash-pro to implement structured logging\n```\n\n### Phase 6: Testing\n\n#### Skills to Invoke\n- `bats-testing-patterns` - Bats testing\n- `shellcheck-configuration` - ShellCheck\n\n#### Actions\n1. Write Bats tests\n2. Run ShellCheck\n3. Test edge cases\n4. Verify error handling\n5. Test with different inputs\n\n#### Copy-Paste Prompts\n```\nUse @bats-testing-patterns to write script tests\n```\n\n```\nUse @shellcheck-configuration to lint bash script\n```\n\n### Phase 7: Documentation\n\n#### Skills to Invoke\n- `documentation-templates` - Documentation\n\n#### Actions\n1. Add script header\n2. Document functions\n3. Create usage examples\n4. List dependencies\n5. Add troubleshooting section\n\n#### Copy-Paste Prompts\n```\nUse @documentation-templates to document bash script\n```\n\n## Script Template\n\n```bash\n#!/usr/bin/env bash\nset -euo pipefail\n\nreadonly SCRIPT_NAME=$(basename \"$0\")\nreadonly SCRIPT_DIR=$(cd \"$(dirname \"$0\")\" && pwd)\n\nlog() { echo \"[$(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')] $*\"; }\nerror() { log \"ERROR: $*\" >&2; exit 1; }\n\nusage() { cat <
