compute-over-bash

compute-over-bash is an Agent behaviour & coding discipline skill for AI agents, published by weikinhuang in the dotfiles repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates compute-over-bash D (59/100) and the safety scan flagged it for review; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Reach for the `compute` tool (sandboxed JavaScript) instead of shelling out to `python3 -c`, `node -e`, `bc`, `expr`, or `jq` whenever the task is pure calculation or data transformation - arithmetic, big-number math, base/radix conversion, date math, string/regex work, reshaping JSON, hashing (sha256), base64, or UTF-8 byte work. Skip it - and use bash - the moment the task needs files, network, environment, subprocesses, or anything asynchronous.
