An implementation workflow for an OpenSpec change, meaning a planned software change with written requirements, run inside a separate Git worktree—a second working folder and branch.

Use it after planning a change to apply the plan, run the Docker test harness, perform checks and review, and complete the shipping workflow.

It coordinates applying the change, running tests, reviewing the result, and shipping it, while stopping with a blocking file when the design cannot be implemented safely.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00092	$0.07792
Opus 5.5	$0.00037	$0.03117
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00018	$0.01558
Haiku 4.5	$0.00009	$0.00779

Security

Grade A, and why

ship-it 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 17 executable files (scripts/__tests__/deps-gate-wiring.test.ts, scripts/__tests__/fix-ledger.test.ts, scripts/__tests__/openspec-deps-gate.test.ts, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

ship-it

Orchestrates the implementation phase of an OpenSpec change inside its git worktree. Twin of plan-proposal (which runs the planning phase on develop). Composes existing skills — openspec-apply-change, the docker harness, and ship-change — and adds the wiring they lack. Runnable headless.

Pure decision logic lives in this skill's own scripts/ directory and is unit-tested (.pi/skills/ship-it is a vitest project): scripts/manifest.ts (parseManifest, deferDecision, filesystemRealityCheck), scripts/no-weakening.ts (assertNoWeakening), scripts/review-gate.ts (reviewRoundDecision, parseReviewReply, resolveReviewer, classifyFindings, REVIEW_TIMEOUT_MS), scripts/fix-ledger.ts (validateFixLedger), scripts/review-state.ts (deriveReviewState), and scripts/review-prompt.ts (buildReviewPrompt + the step-4.5 CLI), and scripts/openspec-deps-gate.ts (runGate, the step-1.5 dependency gate). The CodeQL ratchet of step 4.4b is the repo script scripts/codeql-local.mjs (see docs/code-quality.md).

Preconditions

Running inside the change's worktree (.worktrees/os-<change>, branch os/<change>). Resolve the change name from the worktree dir basename.
docker available (the e2e harness); openspec CLI resolves from the parent repo root when inside a worktree (per AGENTS.md).
Announce: "Shipping change: <change> (worktree implementation phase)."

Procedure

1. Orient with `openspec status`, but gate on filesystem reality (idempotent)

Entry gate — a previous hand-back. If openspec/changes/<change>/SHIP_IT_BLOCKED.md already exists, a previous invocation handed the change to a human. A run is interactive exactly when the ask_user tool is available; otherwise it is headless.

Files

What ships with it

18 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.

ship-it is a skill published in the GitHub repository BlackBeltTechnology/pi-agent-dashboard (330 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 92 tokens to every session and 7,792 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
