 ### Test your Bot with shellcheck
+Shellcheck is a static linter for shell scripts providing excellent tips and hints for shell coding pittfalls. You can [use it online](https://www.shellcheck.net/) or [install it on your system](https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck#installing).
 
-#### $$VERSION$$ v0.51-0-g4d5d386
+All bashbot scripts are linted by shellcheck.
+
+Shellcheck examples:
+```bash
+$ shellcheck -x mybotcommands.inc.sh
+ 
+Line 17:
+                TEXT="$(echo "${TEXT} $WORD")"
+                      ^-- SC2116: Useless echo? Instead of 'cmd $(echo foo)', just use 'cmd foo'.
+ 
+```
+```bash
+$ shellcheck -x notify
+OK
+$ shellcheck -x question
+OK
+$ shellcheck -x commands.sh
+OK
+$ shellcheck -x bashbot.sh
+
+In bashbot.sh line 123:
+                text="$(echo "$text" | sed 's/ mynewlinestartshere /\r\n/g')" # hack for linebreaks in startproc scripts
+                        ^-- SC2001: See if you can use ${variable//search/replace} instead.
+
+
+In bashbot.sh line 490:
+        CONTACT[USER_ID]="$(sed -n -e '/\["result",'$PROCESS_NUMBER',"message","contact","user_id"\]/  s/.*\][ \t]"\(.*\)"$/\1/p' <"$TMP")"
+        ^-- SC2034: CONTACT appears unused. Verify it or export it.
+```
+As you can see there are only two warnings in bashbots scripts. The first is a hint you may use shell substitions instead of sed, but this is only possible for simple cases. The second warning is about an unused variable, this is true because in our examples CONTACT is not used but assigned in case you want to use it :-)
