auto

auto is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from heliohq/ship. It costs 51 tokens per session (333 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A complete software-delivery workflow that starts with a raw requirement and ends with a pull request. It includes planning, implementation, browser or end-to-end checks, review, quality assurance, refactoring, and handoff.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for explicit end-to-end delivery requests that need design, coding, testing, review, QA, cleanup, and a final handoff. Use the individual Ship workflows when only one phase is needed.
Why use it?
It gives a large change one staged process instead of requiring you to coordinate each delivery phase yourself. The workflow can resume from its saved local state.

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

auto 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

Ship: Auto

Full staged workflow for explicit end-to-end production delivery.

Execution

Your cwd is the user's repo, not the plugin — a bare relative path will not find the orchestrator. Set SKILL_DIR to this skill's base directory (announced as "Base directory for this skill" when the skill loaded), then run the shared stage-aware orchestrator:

SKILL_DIR="<base directory from the skill invocation>"
SHIP_ORCH="$SKILL_DIR/../../scripts/auto-orchestrate.sh"
if [ -f .ship/ship-auto.local.md ]; then
  bash "$SHIP_ORCH" resume
else
  bash "$SHIP_ORCH" init '<user requirement goes here>'
fi

Then follow the /ship:auto dispatch loop: read PROMPT_FILE, dispatch the agent, classify the report card, and call complete <PHASE>.

Standalone Skill Boundary

/ship:auto is only for full end-to-end runs. For a single phase (design, dev, E2E, review, QA, refactor, handoff), invoke that /ship:* skill directly instead of routing through auto.

Files

What ships with it

10 files 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.
