ship

ship is a skill for Claude Code from ASMN-96/ai-agents-skills-toolkit. It costs 47 tokens per session (777 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for finishing already-written work for a merge or release. It verifies the result, checks the branch state, prepares commits and pull-request descriptions, and plans integration or rollback choices.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for checking tests, deciding how to integrate a branch, writing release or pull-request material, and preparing rollback plans.
Why use it?
It prevents claiming work is complete without fresh verification and avoids merging, pushing, or discarding changes before the developer chooses an option.

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 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 — 36 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ship route

Finish work that is already implemented: verify it, decide how to integrate it, and describe it honestly. This route never edits application code — it verifies, commits, and describes.

Paths below are relative to this skill's folder (in Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}).

1. Verify before any completion claim

Read upstream/verification-before-completion/UPSTREAM.md and follow its Iron Law: no completion claim without fresh verification evidence run in this session. Before saying tests pass, a build succeeds, or a bug is fixed, identify the command that proves it, run the full command now, and read its actual output. A prior run, "should pass," or an agent's self-report is not evidence.

2. Decide how to integrate

Read upstream/finishing-a-development-branch/UPSTREAM.md and follow its flow: verify tests first (stop and report failures if they fail — do not proceed to the menu), detect whether this is a normal repo, a named-branch worktree, or a detached HEAD, confirm the base branch, then present the matching options menu and wait for the human's choice before merging, pushing, or discarding anything.

3. Write the artifacts

  • Commit messages and PR descriptions: use references/pr-description.md. The "How verified" section is mandatory and must name real command output, including anything skipped.
  • Release notes and rollback planning, especially for schema/migration/flag-sensitive changes: use references/release-checks.md.

Precedence (overrides upstream text)

  • The project's own scripts and CI define "verified," not this skill's judgment. If the project has a test/build/lint command, run that command — do not substitute a partial check.
  • Upstream's discard-the-work path in finishing-a-development-branch only ever runs on an explicit, exact request from the human (the literal word "discard" per upstream's confirmation step). Never infer consent to discard, merge, push, or force-push from enthusiasm or vague agreement.
  • Remove only worktrees this session created; leave host-managed ones (for example .claude/worktrees/) in place.
  • Never force-push, skip hooks, or push to the default/shared branch unless the human explicitly asks for that specific action in this conversation. If asked to force-push to main or skip a failing check to unblock a merge, refuse and propose the safe path instead (fix the failure, or push a new branch and open a PR).
  • Code review of the diff itself belongs to the review route; security sign-off (auth, secrets, dependency, supply-chain risk) belongs to the secure route. This route may point to them but does not replace them.
  • Never claim a test, build, browser check, or scan passed unless its output is in this session. If something was not run, say so in the report instead of assuming it would pass.

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
