Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00055 | $0.00602 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00301 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00120 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00060 |
Grade A, and why
use-ship 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 8d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 55 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Ship: Use Ship
Choose the smallest useful Ship workflow for the request, state the route briefly, then invoke the matching skill(s). Each skill's own description is the primary routing signal — this file only settles the ambiguous cases. Do not force the full pipeline unless the user explicitly wants production delivery.
Routes
| Need | Route |
|---|---|
| Understand scope, write a plan, de-risk approach | /ship:design |
| Architecture/API/data-model decision, ADR, trade-off analysis | /ship:arch-design (thinking) → /ship:write-docs (record), then /ship:design if implementation follows |
| Implement a well-scoped change | /ship:design → /ship:dev |
| Implement from an existing approved plan | /ship:dev |
| Add durable browser/API/CLI coverage | /ship:e2e |
| Check code correctness | /ship:review |
| Verify runtime behavior | /ship:qa |
| Harden a completed change | /ship:e2e → /ship:review → /ship:qa → /ship:refactor |
| Prepare delivery after work is complete | /ship:handoff |
| End-to-end production delivery (explicit ask only) | /ship:auto |
Ambiguous phrasings default to a bounded bundle, never the full pipeline: "plan this" → design; "build this" → design → dev; "check this change" → review and/or qa; "make this production-ready" → the hardening bundle; "ship this all the way" → auto.
Boundaries
- Standalone: atomic skills work without
/ship:autoor any task directory. If the user names a phase, run that phase directly. - State: during full flows, raw input lives at
.ship/tasks/<task_id>/input/requirement.md; orchestrator state is minimal and orchestrator-owned. Markdown artifacts and repository code are the real deliverables. - Durable production artifacts: use the repository's existing
convention first; otherwise create only the needed subfolders under
docs/ship/<task-id>/(input/,product/,design/,engineering/,quality/,delivery/,archive/). Prefer Markdown; use YAML/JSON only when a later agent or script consumes the structure.
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.

use-ship is a skill published in the GitHub repository heliohq/ship (92 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 602 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
