Generated Configuration
# .shellcheckrc - ShellCheck configuration
# https://www.shellcheck.net/wiki/
# Default shell dialect (sh, bash, dash, ksh)
shell=bash
# Source path for sourced files
source-path=SCRIPTDIR
source-path=lib/
# External sources (follow source commands)
external-sources=true
# Severity level: error, warning, info, style
severity=warning
# Disable specific warnings
# SC1090: Can't follow non-constant source
disable=SC1090
# SC1091: Not following (sourced file not found)
disable=SC1091
# SC2034: Variable appears unused (often used in sourced scripts)
# disable=SC2034
# SC2086: Double quote to prevent globbing (sometimes intentional)
# disable=SC2086
# SC2155: Declare and assign separately
# disable=SC2155
# Enable optional checks
# Check for unquoted variables that could be empty
enable=check-unassigned-uppercase
# Check for extra masking of return values
enable=check-extra-masked-returns
Rule Categories
Critical (Never Disable)
- SC2094: File read and written in same pipeline
- SC2095: Add < /dev/null to prevent ssh from eating stdin
- SC2096: Script requires shebang
- SC2148: Missing shebang
Important (Disable Carefully)
- SC2086: Double quote to prevent globbing
- SC2046: Quote to prevent word splitting

- SC2012: Use find instead of ls
Style (Project Decision)

model-profile-resolution
Resolve model profile (quality/balanced/budget) at orchestration start and map agents to specific models. Enables cost/quality tradeoffs by selecting appropriate AI models for each agent role.
verification-suite
Plan structure validation, phase completeness checks, reference integrity verification, and artifact existence confirmation. Provides the structured verification layer ensuring GSD artifacts are well-formed and complete.
state-management
STATE.md reading, writing, and field-level updates. Provides cross-session state persistence via .planning/STATE.md with structured fields for current task, completed phases, blockers, decisions, and quick tasks.
git-integration
Git commit patterns, formats, and conventions for GSD methodology. Provides atomic commits per task, structured commit messages, planning file commits, branch management, and milestone tag operations.
