ship

ship is a skill for Claude Code from catlog22/Claude-Code-Workflow. It costs 43 tokens per session (1,699 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided release workflow that takes a project from a working branch to a published version. It supports npm, Python, and generic projects, with checks, review, version updates, changelogs, pull requests, publishing, and GitHub releases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare releases, review changes, update versions and changelogs, create pull requests, publish packages, and create GitHub releases.
Why use it?
It puts release steps in order and requires each stage to pass before continuing. This reduces the chance of shipping broken code or forgetting release records and version changes.

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

Ship

Structured release pipeline that guides code from working branch to a published release through 7 gated phases: pre-flight checks, automated code review, version bump, changelog generation, PR creation, platform publish (npm/PyPI/etc.), and GitHub release.

Phases 5 (PR) and 6 (Publish) are conditionally skippable — trunk-based workflows that commit directly to main skip Phase 5; private packages skip Phase 6. Phase 7 (GitHub release) is the terminal phase and always runs unless the publish step failed.

Key Design Principles

  1. Phase Gates: Each phase must pass before the next begins — no shipping broken code
  2. Multi-Project Support: Detects npm (package.json), Python (pyproject.toml), and generic (VERSION) projects
  3. AI-Powered Review: Uses CCW CLI to run automated code review before release
  4. Audit Trail: Each phase produces structured output for traceability
  5. Safe Defaults: Warns on risky operations (direct push to main, major version bumps)

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.
