ship-changes

A workflow for taking local code changes through Git and a pull request until they are merged. Git is a system for tracking code changes, and a pull request is a proposed change for review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you need to commit changes, create and push a branch, open or merge a pull request, and handle related issues after merging.
Why use it?
It organizes the steps needed to deliver changes and follows project rules for branches, commits, descriptions, labels, and merging.

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-changes 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.

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

Ship Changes

This skill takes local modifications from the working tree and lands them on main via a properly structured branch, commits, and PR — following all project conventions for commits, PR descriptions, and labels. Related issue comments and closure are separate effects; this shared skill prepares their post-merge disposition but never assumes operation authority.

Never rewrite history while shipping. No rebase, no commit --amend, no reset --hard, no push --force (or --force-with-lease), no deleting a branch that still holds unmerged commits — on any branch, including your own, unless the human asks for that exact command in that exact message. Correct a mistake with a new commit; undo with git revert; move work with git cherry-pick; integrate with git merge. Do not tidy a messy series before opening the PR — the series is the record. See git-commits.md for the full prohibition and the recovery procedure.

Inputs

Collect the following before starting:

  • Semantic labelpatch, minor, major, or none. Skip labeling entirely if the user says no label or omits the label. Do not ask — infer from the nature of the change or follow the user's explicit instruction.
  • Branch name suffix — short kebab-case description of the work, e.g. fix/testing-orleans-runtime-assemblies. Determine from the nature of the changes if not provided.
  • Related GitHub issue — search read-only if the change likely relates to one; use the real number or omit the reference when none exists. Never invent or reuse example numbers. Record whether the change fully resolves or only partly addresses each issue so step 9 can prepare a no-effect disposition.

Step 1 — Review the working tree

git status
git diff

Read the full diff. Understand every changed file before touching git. Do not start staging until you know exactly how the commits will be split.

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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-changes is a skill published in the GitHub repository Cratis/AI (2 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 3,510 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
