tell-proof: Skill for Cursor

.cursor/skills/ship-loop/SKILL.md

ship-loop is a skill for Cursor from ashishpatill/tell-proof. It costs 55 tokens per session (623 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for taking a pull request from review to merge: inspect it, fix blocking issues, commit the changes, push them, and merge once local checks pass.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when asked to ship, merge, or run a ship-loop on a pull request, including checking tests, addressing review issues, and iterating on the branch.
Why use it?
It gives an agent a repeatable process for handling unfinished pull requests instead of stopping after making a partial fix.

This is ashishpatill/tell-proof's own configuration. It tells Cursor how to work on tell-proof itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything tell-proof configures →

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-loop 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 1mo 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 — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ship loop

Close the loop from “open PR” to “merged on the base branch.” No vibes. No attribution noise.

Invariants

  1. Semantic commits only — feat|fix|docs|test|chore|refactor(scope): summary. One concern per commit.
  2. No attribution — do not add Co-authored-by, Signed-off-by, or names of tools/agents/people in commit subjects or bodies.
  3. Push every cycle — git push -u origin <branch> after each commit batch.
  4. Do not force-push to a shared PR branch unless the user explicitly asks.
  5. Merge only when green — local gates pass (pnpm test / typecheck / package tests). Never wait on or re-run GitHub Actions; remote CI is out of scope unless the user explicitly asks about it.
  6. Prefer the PR that contains the work just shipped — if multiple drafts stack, merge the tip that includes the rest (or merge base then tip in order).

Loop

Step Action
1. Identify gh pr view <n> / gh pr checks <n> — branch, base, checks, review threads
2. Diagnose Local typecheck/tests, Playwright eye for UI PRs, leftover draft status — not GitHub Actions
3. Fix Smallest change that clears a named local failure
4. Commit Semantic message, no attribution trailers
5. Push Upstream the branch
6. Re-check Re-run local gates; if red, go to 2
7. Ready Undraft if still draft
8. Merge Only if user asked (merge / merge when ready). Prefer local green over remote CI.

Local gates (Tell)

pnpm -F @tell/design-skills test   # if engine touched
pnpm -F @tell/web typecheck
pnpm test                          # if broader

For showcase/UI: Playwright eye on /showcase — craft beat visible, no empty right gutter, no nav-only thumbs.

Stop conditions

  • Done: PR merged, branch deleted optional, working tree clean vs base.
  • Blocked: Missing permissions, failing required check you cannot fix, or user-required review — report the blocker; do not fake a merge.

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.
