Devops Scripts Authoring

Conventions

  • Use simple shell/python scripts to wrap common tasks.
  • Avoid scripts when a popular native command exists.
  • Locations: scripts/ and packages/*/scripts/.
  • Style: minimal arguments, --help, fail fast, forward common errors, idempotent when sensible.
  • Avoid Makefiles/Justfiles.

During development

  • Run syntax checks and dry-runs.
  • Manually inspect outputs and side effects.
  • Document test steps in script comments.

Documentation

  • Use a brief header comment and why-comments.
  • Keep usage-level instructions in onboarding docs (skills).
