ship

ship is a skill for Claude Code from bdfinst/agentic-dev-team. It costs 119 tokens per session (3,402 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An orchestrator that connects specification, planning, implementation, code review, and pull-request steps into one workflow. A pull request is a proposed code change for review before it is merged.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to take an issue from an agreed specification through small implementation batches, review, and a pull request with auto-merge after approval.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of moving a change through the development pipeline and can resume work that is already in progress. Human approval points remain in place.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: 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 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 17d 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 — 241 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ship

Role: orchestrator. This command chains the existing pipeline skills end to end; it does not implement, review, or merge anything itself — each phase is delegated to the skill that owns it, and the existing human approval gates are preserved.

You have been invoked with the /ship command.

Orchestrator constraints

  1. Delegate every phase. Call the owning skill (/specs, /plan, /build, /code-review, /pr); do not re-implement their logic here.
  2. Honor the human gates. Do not advance past a gate without explicit approval — this command sequences phases, it does not remove their review points.
  3. Confirm the approach first. Before planning, screen the request against ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/knowledge/decision-defaults.md and confirm any ambiguous high-reversal-cost axis (replace-vs-merge, format fidelity, migrate-vs-edit-stub, scope) in one batch.
  4. Be concise. Report each phase's outcome and the next gate, nothing more.
  5. Agent-dispatch capability is a pipeline-wide precondition, enforced by the delegated skills, not duplicated here (issue #1461). /plan (Step 5b), /build (Steps 3, 4, 6), and /code-review (Step 4) each independently confirm the Agent/Task tool is present before dispatching any review agent, and each hard-fails — STOP, no self-applied review, no gate file written — when it is missing. /ship does not re-check or restate that logic; if a delegated phase halts on missing dispatch capability, /ship reports that halt and stops with it (per constraint 2, "Honor the human gates") rather than working around it or advancing past the phase that failed.
  6. Idempotent per issue. Never re-run the pipeline for an issue that is already shipped or in-flight. The Step 1 resume guard decides this from durable tracker/PR state — not conversation memory — so a re-fired command string (e.g. a ScheduleWakeup/loop prompt that repeats) lands on resume/monitor, not a second spec→plan→build→PR pass.

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.
