autoresearch:ship

autoresearch:ship is a command for Claude Code from uditgoenka/autoresearch. It costs 20 tokens per session (981 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for moving code, deployments, documents, packages, content, or configuration through an eight-phase shipping process. It can prepare checklists, run dry-runs, deploy, verify, monitor, or roll back.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to ship a pull request, release, deployment, document, package, or configuration change and to verify or roll back the result.
Why use it?
It organizes release work and catches missing checks before something is shipped, while allowing a dry-run when no change should be made yet.

About the project

autoresearch is an agent workflow that repeatedly changes a project, verifies a measurable result, keeps or discards the change, and continues iterating toward a goal. It is for autonomous improvement tasks in Claude Code, OpenCode, and OpenAI Codex across domains with mechanical success measures. The catalogue contains its commands, hooks, skills, plugin, agent, and instruction.

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

autoresearch: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 6d 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.

Parse Arguments

Extract from $ARGUMENTS:

  • Target: or --target — what to ship (path, PR, artifact, deployment)
  • --type <type> — override auto-detection: code-pr, code-release, deployment, content, docs, package, config
  • --dry-run — validate everything but don't ship
  • --auto — auto-approve if no errors found
  • --force — skip non-critical items (blockers still enforced)
  • --rollback — undo last ship action
  • --monitor N — post-ship monitoring for N minutes
  • --checklist-only — only generate checklist, don't execute
  • --chain, --<subcommand>

Remaining text = description of what to ship.

Setup (if Target or Type unclear)

  1. Auto-detect ship type from context:
    • Has uncommitted changes or PR → code-pr
    • Has version bump / changelog → code-release
    • Has Dockerfile / deploy config → deployment
    • Has markdown / content files → content
    • Has package.json version change → package
  2. If still unclear → AskUserQuestion (single batch): Q1 (What): "What are you shipping?" — code PR, release, deployment, content, docs, package Q2 (Target): "Specific target?" — current branch, specific PR, specific path Q3 (Mode): "How to ship?" — full workflow, dry-run only, checklist only If all clear → skip.

Phase 1: Identify

  • Determine ship type (auto-detected or --type override)
  • Identify target artifact(s)
  • Map to domain-specific checklist

Phase 2: Inventory

Gather everything that will be shipped:

  • Files changed (git diff)
  • Dependencies affected
  • Config changes
  • Migration files
  • Breaking changes

Phase 3: Checklist

Generate domain-specific checklist:

Code PR: tests pass, types check, lint clean, no secrets, PR description, reviewers assigned Release: version bumped, changelog updated, migration tested, rollback plan Deployment: env vars set, health checks configured, rollback ready, monitoring active Content: links valid, images optimized, SEO metadata, spell check Package: version bumped, README updated, breaking changes documented, CI green

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.
