what types of programs will your shell be able to execute?

And wouldn't basic be way to slow and limited for a shell?
My projects
 - The Lost Survivors (Unreal Engine) ACTIVE [GameCommandoSquad main project]
 - Oxo, with single-calc multiplayer and AI (axe) RELEASED (screenshot) (topic)
 - An android version of oxo (java)  ACTIVE
 - A 3D collision detection library (axe) RELEASED! (topic)(screenshot)(more recent screenshot)(screenshot of it being used in a tilemapper)
Spoiler For inactive:
- A first person shooter with a polygon-based 3d engine. (z80, will probably be recoded in axe using GLib) ON HOLD (screenshot)
 - A java MORPG. (pc) DEEP COMA(read more)(screenshot)
 - a minecraft game in axe DEAD (source code available)
 - a 3D racing game (axe) ON HOLD (outdated screenshot of asm version)

Nope.  Check out Oasis (it's now in my sig) or other examples that are out there.

I recommend that you make it easy to use.  No one likes something that is really slow or cryptic; make sure users can run programs easily.

basic and asm programs

but there are so many functions that i'm adding in to it
that it should make up for the little bit of slowness

Hi and welcome here (I think I didn't welcome you before).

For shell ideas I don't have any right now, but make sure we can do the essential like unlocking/archiving programs from it. Also try to make it not too large and not too slow. Note that this will be hard for a BASIC shell to compete against Doors CS7 or even MirageOS, though, especially that BASIC shells historically had a very bad reputation on ticalc.org, but it can be a good way to practice some TI-BASIC/Celtic programming.

Aaah ok, and nah it should be fine. The thing is that having dropped out of the calculator programming scene for a while now, I tend to be less active here, so sometimes it can take a long while to reply. Screenshots would be cool, though.
