## Style directions for official modules
### Bash
- Start with `#!/usr/bin/env bash` and `set -oue pipefail`
- Don't print "===", this is only for encapsulating the output of _different_ modules in `build.sh`
- Print something on each step and on errors for easier debugging
- Use CAPITALIZED names for variables that are read from the configuration
### README
- Title should be "`type` module for startingpoint", where the name/type of the module is a noun that shows the module's purpose
- There should be a subtitle "Example configuration:", under which there should be a loosely documented yaml block showcasing each of the module's configuration options
