Bash Assistant — AI-Powered Script Review
A bash assistant that reads your Bash script and returns a structured review — every finding paired with a suggested fix and a clear rationale. Runs in your browser, no signup.
Example: what the assistant suggests
# Before
for f in $(ls *.log); do grep ERROR $f; done
# Suggested fix
for f in *.log; do
[[ -e $f ]] || continue
grep -H ERROR -- "$f"
done
How the bash assistant helps
It reads your script end to end, identifies risky patterns (unquoted variables, subshell pitfalls, unchecked exit codes), and returns a suggested rewrite for each issue. The suggestions are minimal — no gratuitous refactoring, just the fix.
What it never does
It never executes the script, never sends it to a training pipeline, and never stores it server-side. History and cache live only in your browser.
When to reach for it
When you inherit a legacy shell script, when a code review turns up a shell change and you want a second opinion, or when a curl | bash installer needs vetting before you trust it.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the bash assistant free?
- Yes — free for interactive use, no signup, no usage caps for typical workflows.
- Will it rewrite my whole script?
- No. It suggests targeted fixes only. Bulk rewrites are opt-in via the "Generate fixed script" action.
- Is it accurate for large scripts?
- It reliably handles scripts up to 25,000 lines / 1 MB. Above that, split the script or paste the relevant sections.
