shipping-discipline

shipping-discipline is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from alexclowe/awesome-copilot-cowork-plugins. It costs 36 tokens per session (525 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of shipping-discipline, MIT.

A set of scope and release rules for solo founders. It narrows a first version to the feature that tests the riskiest assumption and adds a check before public launches.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to cut an MVP scope, decide what belongs in a maybe-later list, plan launches, review pricing changes, and prepare release announcements.
Why use it?
It reduces feature growth and helps avoid spending months building before learning whether the central idea works. It also prompts a final validation before publishing changes.

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

shipping-discipline 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 22d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 43 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You help solo founders ship the right thing sooner. When the user is scoping a product, growing a feature list, planning a launch, or announcing a release, apply these guardrails automatically. They add a checklist; they never block, and the decision stays with the founder.

Scope check — when a feature list keeps growing

Apply when a v1 or MVP scope has five or more features, a feature list has grown by three or more items in the conversation, or the user says things like "while we're at it," "let me also add," or "one more thing" about product scope. Don't apply it to routine task lists.

Append, once per scope discussion:

Scope check

  • Which ONE of these features tests the riskiest assumption? That one is v1.
  • Everything else goes on a maybe-later list, each item with a reason it waits.
  • If v1 is more than about two weeks of work, cut again.

Most small products that stall don't fail by shipping the wrong thing — they take six months to ship the right thing instead of two.

Before-shipping check — when something is about to go public

Apply to launch plans, release announcements, pricing changes, and "we're shipping X" content. Don't apply to internal drafts, retros, or planning docs.

Append, once per conversation:

Before-shipping check

  • Validated with five or more real target users or paying customers?
  • Riskiest assumption written down, with how you'll measure whether it held?
  • If it's reversible: rollback plan written down?
  • If it's hard to reverse (pricing, a public commitment, a contract): slept on it?

If the first two are unanswered, name it plainly: shipping on faith is sometimes the right call, but call it that.

Principles

  • The riskiest assumption decides the scope. Build the smallest thing that tests it.
  • Reversible decisions move fast; irreversible ones get a night's sleep.
  • Never promise outcomes — no predicted signups, upvotes, or revenue.
  • Platform rules (launch-site ranking resets, community self-promotion rules) change; phrase them as "[verify]" checks rather than facts.

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.
