Night Market Skill — ported from claude-night-market/pensive. For the full experience with agents, hooks, and commands, install the Claude Code plugin.
Table of Contents
Shell Script Review
Audit shell scripts for correctness, safety, and portability.
Verification
After review, run shellcheck \x3Cscript> to verify fixes address identified issues.
Testing
Run pytest plugins/pensive/tests/skills/test_shell_review.py -v to validate review patterns.
Quick Start
/shell-review path/to/script.sh
When To Use
- CI/CD pipeline scripts
- Git hook scripts
- Wrapper scripts (run-*.sh)
- Build automation scripts
- Pre-commit hook implementations
When NOT To Use
- Non-shell scripts (Python, JS, etc.)
- One-liner commands that don't need review

Workflow
Step 1: Map Context (shell-review:context-mapped)
Identify shell scripts:
# Find shell scripts
find . -not -path "*/.venv/*" -not -path "*/__pycache__/*" \
-not -path "*/node_modules/*" -not -path "*/.git/*" \
-name "*.sh" -type f | head -20
# Check shebangs
rg -l "^#!/" scripts/ hooks/ 2>/dev/null | head -10
# fallback: grep -l "^#!/" scripts/ hooks/ 2>/dev/null | head -10
Document:
- Script purpose and trigger context
- Integration points (make, pre-commit, CI)
- Expected inputs and outputs
Step 2: Exit Code Audit (shell-review:exit-codes-checked)
@include modules/exit-codes.md
Step 3: Portability Check (shell-review:portability-checked)
@include modules/portability.md
Step 4: Safety Patterns (shell-review:safety-patterns-verified)
@include modules/safety-patterns.md
Step 5: Evidence Log (shell-review:evidence-logged)
Use imbue:proof-of-work to record findings with file:line references.
Summarize:
- Critical issues (failures masked, security risks)
- Major issues (portability, maintainability)
- Minor issues (style, documentation)
Output Format
## Summary
Shell script review findings
## Scripts Reviewed
- [list with line counts]
## Exit Code Issues
### [E1] Pipeline masks failure
- Location: script.sh:42
- Pattern: `cmd | grep` loses exit code
- Fix: Use pipefail or capture separately
## Portability Issues
[cross-platform concerns]
## Safety Issues
[unquoted variables, missing set flags]
## Recommendation
Approve / Approve with actions / Block
Exit Criteria
- Exit code propagation verified
- Portability issues documented
- Safety patterns checked
- Evidence logged
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install nm-pensive-shell-review - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/nm-pensive-shell-review - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
