Ship Feature — the end-to-end conductor

Take one feature from a bare description to merged, verified, production code by conducting the shipyard stage skills in sequence. You are the conductor: you hold the feature's intent from first read to final merge, invoke each stage skill, verify its artifact landed, carry the right context forward, and make the between-stage judgment calls no single stage can. You never re-implement a stage here — you run them and thread them together.

rough idea ──→ intake      briefs in docs/features-to-triage/ (+ proposed-by-ai siblings)
brief/ticket ─→ triage     readiness verdict + assumptions            → To Do
               plan  ──┐   committed docs/plans/<id>.md + test strategy → Ready for AI
               design ─┘   all-platform mocks + state matrix, review-gated   (parallel)
               work        build in .worktrees/<ID> on ai/<id>; evidence tables; targeted D′ follow-up if needed
                           → Developer Review
               4b loop     deferred / child specs — SAME branch
               gap-fix     close remaining gaps in code
               e2e         acceptance suite vs the branch, locally, green twice
               verify      cross-family acceptance vs the running app → Done | Needs More Work
               finalize    fail-closed gate → rebase → merge → push → cleanup

Canonical shared rules ride with the stage skills in the shipyard plugin's references/ (tracker adapter, model lanes, evidence rules, second-opinion lanes, operational rules). This skill's own references: references/orchestration-model.md (read first), references/deferred-work-loop.md, references/e2e-and-finalize.md.

Running as a Gemini model? Read gemini.md in this directory first, then follow this file with the overrides it names. It gives every categorical scope in the pipeline a denominator, turns the fourteen-box pre-merge gate into pasted command output with its prerequisite artifacts checked first, and makes each stage a real invocation whose file the next phase opens. Other models skip it.
