ship-sprint

ship-sprint is a skill for Claude Code from Acendas/shipyard. It costs 14 tokens per session (11,054 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for starting a software sprint or cancelling one. A sprint is a planned period of development work, and the guide breaks selected backlog items into waves.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to pull features from a backlog, organise them into delivery waves, initialise sprint files, change sprint status, or cancel an active sprint.
Why use it?
It provides a defined process for turning planned work into an active sprint while protecting the project's tracking files from inconsistent edits.

Skill for Claude Code

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

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

ship-sprint 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.

Shipyard: Sprint Planning

Plan a new sprint by pulling features from the backlog and decomposing into waves.

Context

!shipyard-context sprint-planning

Paths. All Shipyard file ops use the absolute SHIPYARD_DATA prefix from the context block (no ~, $HOME, or shell variables). Shipyard binaries you may invoke from Bash: shipyard-data archive-sprint <id>, shipyard-data metrics ..., shipyard-data init-sprint <id> (Step 12), shipyard-data draft set-sprint-status ..., shipyard-data sprint set <key> <value> and shipyard-data sprint check (Step 12). Never cd into the data directory before running shipyard-data commands — they resolve the data directory internally via git and env vars; cd-ing into a non-git directory breaks the resolver. Just run the command bare from the project root. Never use echo, printf, or shell redirects (>) to write state files. SPRINT.md and PROGRESS.md are created by the init-sprint CLI (template-canonical); SPRINT.md frontmatter is thereafter mutated only via shipyard-data sprint set, never a hand Edit (hand-editing frontmatter is the corruption class that welds keys together). PROGRESS.md and the pipeline cursors are CLI/render-owned — the model never writes them (a PreToolUse hook denies such writes). Metrics are CLI-owned: memory/metrics.json is authoritative and memory/metrics.md is generated; never Write/Edit either metrics file by hand. Use the Write tool (auto-approved for SHIPYARD_DATA) for arbitrary narrative artifacts (feature files, task files, SPRINT-DRAFT.md); the SPRINT.md body (Goal, ### Wave N, Critical Path, Risks, Swap Log) stays a model Edit on the CLI-created file. When passing paths into spawned Agent prompts, substitute the literal SHIPYARD_DATA path.

Onboarding gate. If the bundled context contains SHIPYARD_ONBOARDING_REQUIRED=true, run the exact SHIPYARD_ONBOARDING_COMMAND once with Bash, report the CLI output to the user, and STOP. Do not infer setup state by reading or writing Shipyard state files; onboarding decisions are CLI-owned.

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.

ship-sprint is a skill published in the GitHub repository Acendas/shipyard (2 stars, last pushed 24d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 11,054 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
