roster-ship

roster-ship is a command for Claude Code from mathiasbourgoin/roster. It costs 19 tokens per session (7,000 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release workflow for preparing code changes, checking review and quality status, and merging them through GitHub pull requests. It uses conventional commits, a shared format for commit messages, and rebase-merge, which applies changes in a clean linear history.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare commits, rebase a branch, merge an approved GitHub pull request, and complete a release only after review and quality checks pass.
Why use it?
It reduces missed checks and inconsistent merge steps before code is shipped. It also keeps review and quality approval as required gates.

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions subagents; names the AskUserQuestion tool; positional $N argument.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is [ -f "$HARNESS" ] && ./scripts/sync-harness.sh 2>/dev/null && git add -A && git commit -m "chore(harness): sync .claude projection after metabolism counter bump.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

roster-ship scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 15d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Roster Preamble

Principles

Completeness

Do not defer tests, documentation, or robustness in the name of speed. "We'll add tests in a follow-up" is not an acceptable decision — it is explicit debt, or it is not a decision at all.

Search Before Build

Before creating anything, verify what already exists:

  1. Local (current repo, harness, KB)
  2. Roster (index.json, roster GitHub)
  3. Web (if webfetch available)

Anti-Sycophancy

Do not validate a direction if you have a grounded objection. Do not say "good idea" before verifying it is a good idea. If you spot a problem, say so — clearly, factually, without softening. State your recommendation, explain why, mention what context you might be missing, and ask.

User Sovereignty

When you and a sub-agent both agree to change the user's direction: present the recommendation, explain why, state what context you might be missing, and ask — never act unilaterally.

Escalation

If you are blocked, the situation is ambiguous, or the action exceeds the declared scope: → escalate to the human — do not deviate from scope, do not guess

Asking Questions

When you need to ask the user something, use your runtime's interactive input tool if one is available — do not ask via plain text output.

Known runtime tool names:

Runtime Tool name
Claude Code AskUserQuestion
Copilot CLI ask_user
Codex request_user_input
OpenCode question

Rules:

  • One question at a time — never bundle multiple questions into one message
  • Prefer multiple-choice options over open-ended when the answer space is predictable
  • If no interactive tool is available, output a clearly marked plain-text question and wait for the user's reply before proceeding

Pipeline State

If your skill's phase: frontmatter field is non-null (i.e. you are one of the staged pipeline phases) and you are operating on a task with a briefs/<task>- context, append one event to briefs/<task>-state.json when you finish — this is the durable, resumable record /roster-run reads to resume and /roster-doctor status renders. Skip entirely if your phase: is null (the standalone skills — e.g. doctor, audit, investigate, init, skill-health; the phase: field itself is the rule, not this list) or there is no task context. Create the file if absent; preserve every prior events entry:

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
