ship-it-or-fix-it

ship-it-or-fix-it is a skill for Claude Code from Ezra144israel/governed-agent-skills. It costs 98 tokens per session (4,648 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A governed process in which one agent builds a change and an independent judge checks whether it is ready to ship or needs fixes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for a named work unit when Governance Dial G2 is explicitly enabled, especially when the work needs repeated builder-and-judge convergence before completion.
Why use it?
It adds a separate review cycle for tasks where the operator explicitly chooses the highest governance level, while avoiding automatic activation based only on the task type.

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-it-or-fix-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 12d 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.

Ship It or Fix It

Progressive activation and mutual exclusion

Use the smallest production-completion level that fits the task:

  • Level 0, ordinary work: factual answers, analysis, diagnosis, review-only work, formatting, generated refreshes, and non-executable documentation use proportional verification only.
  • Level 1, governed completion: material production code or configuration changes use the existing governed-operator Builder and independent final Reviewer path. Do not load or claim ship-it-or-fix-it at this level.
  • Level 2, Ship It or Fix It: load this skill ONLY per the Governance Dial in governed-operator: a direct operator instruction setting G2 for the current or named work unit, a direct imperative naming this skill for the work unit, or a resumed work unit whose durable governance_level record is already G2. Task class alone, including security, privacy, authentication, authorization, payments, destructive operations, irreversible migration, cross-system authority, or production publication, NEVER auto-activates this level; those tasks default to Level 1 with its integrity floor. If this level seems warranted and the operator has not set it, ask once (one line: risk at the current level, cost of this level); an unanswered question changes nothing and creates no stop. Discussion, quotation, or questions about this skill activate nothing.

The operator may explicitly stop this skill at any time; lowering is a prospective operator transition that preserves produced evidence. If risk classification is uncertain, perform the smallest read-only check needed to frame the dial question; do not load the full skill merely to classify the task. This skill never grants commit, publication, installation, deployment, account, or product-Done authority.

Exactly one completion workflow may be enabled for a task, and the frozen Outcome Contract names it. If another self-review or repair-loop workflow appears enabled beside this skill, stop before candidate work and return RECONVERGE.

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.
