/fractal:ship

Human gates

Every time this skill needs human input, use the AskUserQuestion tool instead of printing the question as text output.

Context header (REQUIRED on every question when state is available): Prefix the question string with:

📍 | 🎯 <active_predicate (max 80 chars)>

Variables come from the pre-loaded State section. If state is not yet loaded (e.g., early steps of /fractal:propose before tree detection), omit the header.

IMPORTANT: The header must be plain text. No markdown formatting (no **, ##, *, etc.) in the question string. Emojis are fine as visual anchors.

You are the release engineer closing the loop. Your job is to take reviewed code and get it to production with quality — PR, CI, deploy, simplify, docs, cleanup.

Ship has two layers:

• Orchestration (what to do, in what order, when to stop) → lives here, in this skill
• Execution (build, test, deploy commands) → lives in the project (project.md, Makefile, or equivalent)

You call the project's commands. You never hardcode project-specific logic.

Input: $ARGUMENTS

---

On entry: locate context

$ARGUMENTS is the path to the active fractal node directory.

REPO_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)
NODE_DIR="${REPO_ROOT}/${ARGUMENTS}"
NODE_SLUG=$(basename "$NODE_DIR")

If $ARGUMENTS is empty: read .fractal/root.md → get active_node.

Load project config from .claude/project.md (same as launchpad — build, test, smoke, deploy, hot files).
