Agent Guidelines for hermes-chatto-plugin

Shell Scripts

Always run shellcheck after editing any shell scripts.

shellcheck path/to/script.sh

Or validate all shell scripts in the project:

find . -name "*.sh" -exec shellcheck {} \;

Configuration

Project-specific shellcheck rules are defined in .shellcheckrc. Default severity is error to catch all issues.

Why

Prevents syntax errors and common pitfalls (e.g., missing quotes, unsafe variable expansions)
Ensures portability across different shell environments
Maintains code quality and security standards

Integration

Consider adding a pre-commit hook for automatic validation:

# .pre-commit-config.yaml
repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck-precommit
    rev: v0.9.0
    hooks:
      - id: shellcheck
        args: [--severity=error]
