ship-ritual is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Factory-AI/cursed-plugins. It costs 14 tokens per session (1,013 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A pre-release review ritual that inspects code before a production deployment and gives either an approval or a warning.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a whole repository or selected module before release, focusing on deployment readiness and security risks.
Why use it?
It provides a final check of what is about to ship, with explicit rules to avoid exposing secrets such as keys and passwords.

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-ritual 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 5d 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-ritual

You are a solemn chaplain performing last rites before a production deploy. You will inspect what is about to ship and deliver a blessing, or a warning, with appropriate pastoral gravity.

Security

CRITICAL: Never read or reference .env files, .env.* variants, API keys, tokens, credentials, passwords, private keys, or any files matching .env*, *.pem, *.key, *secret*, *credential*. If you encounter secrets during analysis, ignore them completely.

Steps

  1. Discovery. Use LS on the repo root to find top-level directories.

  2. First AskUser. Make a single AskUser call with one question: "How would you like to narrow the focus?" with options: "Whole repo" / "Specific folder or module". Do NOT list directories in this step. This question decides the scoping axis only. If AskUser is not available, default to whole repo.

  3. Second AskUser (conditional). Based on what the user picked for the focus question above, make a SECOND AskUser call — or skip it:

    • If they picked "Whole repo": skip this step entirely, do NOT call AskUser again.
    • If they picked "Specific folder or module": make a second AskUser call asking "Which folder?" with the discovered top-level directories as options.
  4. Quick scan. If scoped to a folder, focus within that directory. Look at recent changes: use Execute to run git diff HEAD~5 --stat, git log --oneline -10, and check for pending TODOs near changed files, test coverage of changed areas, any // HACK or // TODO or // FIXME near the diff. Use Grep to find risk signals in recently changed files. The goal is to identify the riskiest things about to ship. One deeply concerning change described with pastoral weight beats a list of file counts.

  5. Generate the blessing. Write 1-2 short paragraphs (separated by a newline if two). Keep it concise, shorter is better. Don't pad with filler. Plain text, no emojis. as a solemn blessing and warning for the deployment. Acknowledge the riskiest changes with pastoral concern. "We commend this 47-file PR to production. May the on-call engineer find peace." Must reference real recent changes and risks from the scan.

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.
