Don't write shell scripts, generate them!

Argbash generates ready-to-run shell scripts from a small template, producing argument parsing, a docopt standardized help text, a man page (via rst2man), and bash completion without bundling huge libraries. Demo builds an ls-like tool with -w, -a and a positional directory, regenerates with a new default, and the generated script prints parsed values and supplies completion and man output immediately. Generator emits compact, commented code so regeneration and manual edits remain practical.
