Stop copy-pasting risky shell commands. ShellDef scans and analyzes scripts in seconds—highlighting threats, bad practices, and vulnerabilities, then delivers a clean, corrected version ready to copy and use safely.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋 This is Abdou, and I'm thrilled to introduce you to ShellDef, a project my brother and I have poured our hearts into.
Our journey started not in a typical startup garage, but on YouTube! As content creators focused on tech, development, and computer science, we constantly interacted with our community. A recurring pain point kept popping up: the sheer annoyance and inherent risk involved in writing and managing Linux shell scripts. From subtle bugs to glaring security vulnerabilities, developers were constantly struggling.
We saw this pattern, felt the frustration ourselves, and decided to build a solution. That's how ShellDef was born! It's an AI-powered platform designed to be your intelligent co-pilot for shell scripting. ShellDef automatically analyzes your scripts, identifies security flaws, catches potential bugs, and suggests best practice improvements, giving you a corrected, safer, and more reliable script in seconds.
Our mission is simple: to make shell scripting less risky, less time-consuming, and ultimately, more enjoyable for everyone. We believe ShellDef can be a game-changer for individual developers and teams alike.
We're incredibly excited to share ShellDef with the Product Hunt community. We've worked hard to make it intuitive and powerful, and we're just getting started.
Please give ShellDef a try, and let us know what you think! Your honest feedback is invaluable as we continue to build and refine. Thank you for checking us out!
This is really cool and useful, will definitely give it a go? How would you compare yourself to other security tools out there!
i like the concept a lot but wonder how it handles false positives. That could be frustrating if it blocks harmless code.
I’ve been looking for something that could fit into our CI pipeline to automatically review shell scripts before they go live. Might give this a try.
Shelldef packs terminal wizardry into simple, readable snippets refactoring feels less like a headache and more like art in motion.
Hey Abdou! your doing a great job. I just love this app and how well it works , impressive.
Congrats on the launch! With so many models being released so quickly, how will you help users and developers avoid confusion or fatigue and make it easier for them to choose the right tool?
Okay, this is seriously smart. Using AI to audit shell scripts is one of those "why didn't I think of that?" ideas. You guys absolutely nailed a massive, unspoken pain point for devs. Awesome work and congrats on the launch!
Catching shell script bugs and security stuff automatically is honestly genius—so many scripts break things and no one notices til it's too late, lol. Love what you two built here!
Catching shell script bugs AND security stuff automatically? That’s honestly so clutch—can’t tell you how many late nights this would’ve saved me, fr. Big props to you both!
