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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00082 | $0.02596 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00033 | $0.01038 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00519 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00260 |
Grade A, and why
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 2mo 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 — 261 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Ship Skill
Drive Chamber work from a feature branch to a clean, reviewable pull request. This skill replaces the older pr workflow name; use it for "ship", "ship it", "open a PR", "prepare this PR", "finalize", "land this branch", and related shipping requests.
The user is ianphil. The default base branch is master unless a caller supplies a stack parent branch. Commits must include the Chamber Co-authored-by trailer. Use gh for all GitHub operations. Never use MCP.
Modes
Interactive mode
Use interactive mode for one-off user requests when defaults were not already approved. In this mode, ask before applying version bumps, changelog entries, Uncle Bob review, and optional packaging smoke.
Autopilot mode
Use autopilot mode when:
- The
issue-slateskill invokes this skill with confirmed slate defaults. - The user explicitly says to run on autopilot, ship the slate, or use defaults.
- A roadmap already records the answers for versioning, changelog, closing issues, review, and smoke policy.
In autopilot mode, do not stop for repeated confirmation prompts. Apply these defaults automatically:
| Prompt area | Autopilot default |
|---|---|
| Change classification | Pick the conventional kind (KaC canonical: added/changed/deprecated/removed/fixed/security; Chamber extensions: breaking/perf/refactor/docs/tests/build/ci/chore/packaging) from the diff; the release skill computes the actual version bump later from accumulated ## [Unreleased] entries. |
| Changelog | Append a bullet under the matching ### Heading of ## [Unreleased] using scripts/append-changelog-entry.js. |
| Closing issue | Include all planned issue refs from the roadmap or branch commit messages. |
| Uncle Bob | Run for non-trivial, runtime, architecture, SDK, security, or broad behavior changes; skip for small docs, tests, and focused UI fixes. |
| Packaging sandbox | Do not run npm run make:sandbox; use npm run package only when packaging/startup paths need smoke coverage. |
| PR base | Use the supplied stack parent branch; otherwise use master. |
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.

ship is a skill published in the GitHub repository ianphil/chamber (12 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 2,596 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
Other skills, from other repositories
apply-patch
Apply multi-file or tricky edits atomically with git apply instead of many fragile editfile calls. Use when changing several files at once or when editfile fails to match.
git-checkpoint
Use git as a safety net - create a checkpoint commit before risky or large changes and roll back cleanly if a change makes things worse. Use before multi-file refactors.
competitor-product-monitor
Monitor competitor product releases and new feature announcements. Use this skill when the user wants to track what competitors are shipping, find the latest product launches in their industry, or generate a competitor release report. Triggers include phrases like "track competitor releases", "what are my competitors…
app_tagline_backfill
Give apps built on this instance a share-card tagline when their app.yaml has none. Runs automatically once after Rome upgrades (AUTO mode, list supplied by the caller) or on request from the guardian ("add taglines to my apps", MANUAL mode, confirm before writing). Only touches editable mode: "source" apps — never…
pdf-processing
Extract text and tables from PDF files, fill forms, merge documents. Use when working with PDF files or when the user mentions PDFs, forms, or document extraction.
ship-it
Worktree-side implementation orchestrator for an OpenSpec change. Idempotent: gates automated scenarios on filesystem reality, owns the red-test fix loop, runs the docker harness with always-teardown, then drives ship-change inline. Escape hatch writes SHIPITBLOCKED.md. Runnable headless. Triggers: "ship it", "build…
