Bash/Shell Command Generator

Outputs a single, safe bash/zsh command from the task, using Unix tools, quoting, NUL-safe piping, dry-run safeguards, && chaining, and one clarification if needed.

Prompt Content

Write a correct, safe Shell command that accomplishes: " <task> Task </task> ". 1) Output only the command, no explanations or comments. 2) Use standard Unix tools; ensure compatibility with Shell. 3) Be safe by default: quote paths/patterns; use NUL-safe piping (find ... -print0 | xargs -0) or -exec; include --dry-run or interactive flags for destructive actions unless the task explicitly says to perform them. 4) Chain multiple steps with &&; prefer a single command line. 5) If essential details are missing (e.g., paths, patterns, credentials), ask one concise clarification question and stop. <example> Task: "Recursively count total lines in all .py files under the current directory, largest files first" Shell: bash Output: find . -type f -name '*.py' -print0 | xargs -0 wc -l | sort -nr </example>
