trap-handler-generator
Generate trap handlers for cleanup, signal handling, and graceful shutdown in shell scripts.
Best use case
trap-handler-generator is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Generate trap handlers for cleanup, signal handling, and graceful shutdown in shell scripts.
Teams using trap-handler-generator should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.

# Trap Handler Generator
Generate trap handlers for shell scripts.
## Capabilities
- Generate cleanup trap handlers
- Implement signal handling
- Create graceful shutdown logic
- Set up resource cleanup
- Handle nested traps
- Generate error handlers
## Generated Patterns
```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Temporary resources to clean up
declare -a CLEANUP_ITEMS=()
CLEANUP_DONE=false
# Register cleanup item
register_cleanup() {
CLEANUP_ITEMS+=("$1")
}
# Cleanup function
cleanup() {
if [[ "$CLEANUP_DONE" == true ]]; then
return
fi
CLEANUP_DONE=true
local exit_code=$?
echo "Cleaning up..."
for item in "${CLEANUP_ITEMS[@]}"; do
if [[ -d "$item" ]]; then
rm -rf "$item" 2>/dev/null
elif [[ -f "$item" ]]; then
rm -f "$item" 2>/dev/null
elif [[ -n "$item" ]]; then
# Command to run
eval "$item" 2>/dev/null
fi
done
return $exit_code
}
# Error handler
on_error() {
local exit_code=$?
local line_no=$1
echo "Error on line ${line_no}: command exited with ${exit_code}" >&2
cleanup
exit $exit_code
}
# Signal handlers
on_sigint() {
echo -e "\nInterrupted by user"
cleanup
exit 130
}
on_sigterm() {
echo "Terminated"
cleanup
exit 143
}
# Set up traps
trap cleanup EXIT
trap 'on_error ${LINENO}' ERR
trap on_sigint INT
trap on_sigterm TERM
# Usage
TEMP_DIR=$(mktemp -d)
register_cleanup "$TEMP_DIR"
TEMP_FILE=$(mktemp)
register_cleanup "$TEMP_FILE"
register_cleanup "docker stop mycontainer"
```
