An orchestrator for shipping a qship epic, a larger piece of work made up of related tickets. It groups dependent tickets into waves, runs their work in parallel, merges results, and prepares final pull requests.

Use it to plan dependencies, execute tickets across one or more repositories, run wave-level checks and reviews, and create the final pull requests.

It coordinates multi-ticket delivery and checks each wave before the whole epic is delivered.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00240	$0.19019
Opus 5	$0.00120	$0.09510
Sonnet 5	$0.00048	$0.03804

Security

Grade D, and why

qshipmaster scanned grade D with 3 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 9 executable files (hooks/qshipmaster-deliver.sh, hooks/qshipmaster-learn.sh, hooks/qshipmaster-merge-wave.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

- `~/.claude/settings.json` or any settings file (user-owned).

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 764 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Issue source — tracker = {{TRACKER_TYPE}} (chosen at onboarding). Follow the issue-source protocol in $SKILLS_ROOT/qship/references/tracker-contract.md — it defines, per tracker, how to FETCH / CHILDREN / CREATE / TRANSITION / READ-TRD. For none: treat $ARGUMENTS as the spec (pasted text or a local file path) and skip all tracker MCP calls.

qshipmaster — Epic-level qship orchestrator

qship ships one ticket. qshipmaster ships an Epic.

This skill codifies the manual layer above qship: dependency-wave planning, per-wave parallel ticket execution, wave-level merging into a consolidated epic branch, wave-level Phase 2 review, and ONE consolidated PR per repo at the end.

Multi-repo contract: The set of repos this orchestrator coordinates across is $SKILLS_ROOT/qship/repos.json. The "one PR per repo" pattern below means one PR per entry in that list (or a subset of entries actually touched by the epic). Single-repo users see exactly one PR per epic. Multi-service monorepo users see N PRs, one per affected repo. Resolve the list at orchestrator startup:
ALL_REPOS=$(jq -r '.[].name' "$SKILLS_ROOT/qship/repos.json")

⛔ When this skill applies

Invoke qshipmaster when:

The argument is a Jira Epic (issuetype.name == "Epic").
You want fully unattended end-to-end Epic delivery.

Do NOT invoke for:

Standalone tickets (use qship directly).
A single Story under an Epic (use qship directly — the parent SKILL.md §Epic-Mode hooks will keep the worker from opening a per-ticket PR).
Re-running specific stages on an already-shipped Epic — read state.json directly and call the helper scripts manually.

⛔ Composition philosophy — DO NOT duplicate qship

qshipmaster is a thin orchestrator. It must:

Compose existing primitives, never re-implement them:
- qship-persist.sh runs the per-ticket pipeline (don't reinvent it).
- qship-compute-context.sh classifies the diff (don't reinvent it).
- require-phase3-evidence.sh / require-pipeline-complete.sh enforce gates (don't bypass them).
- qshipcheck decides per-ticket completion (don't second-guess it).
- code-review:code-review is the final-PR review skill (don't reinvent it).

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.

qshipmaster is a skill published in the GitHub repository 3awny/qship (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 240 tokens to every session and 19,019 once invoked, about $0.0012 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (reads agent configuration directories, recursive force delete, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
