ship-and-sell is a skill for Claude Code from ikarisz/Bobby-Need-To-Billionaire. It costs 107 tokens per session (1,253 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A short planning process for turning a tested business idea into the smallest thing someone can pay for. It focuses on making a first sale before building a complete product.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose what to build first, set an initial price, test demand, and seek the first paying customer within a short launch window.
Why use it?
It reduces wasted work on features, branding, or automation that customers have not shown they want. The process uses early payment as evidence that the idea is worth developing.

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-and-sell 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 12d 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 — 60 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

SHIP AND SELL — 72 hours to something a stranger can pay for

The gap between a validated thesis and a dead venture is usually four weeks of building the wrong completeness. The deliverable of the first 72 hours is not a product. It is a transaction.

Ask constantly: what is the least I can build such that a stranger would hand over money today? Then build exactly that, and not one feature more.

BANNED (pre-revenue procrastination)

  • Auth, dashboards, settings, and admin panels before the first sale. Nobody has ever paid for a settings page. Do it by hand for the first ten customers.
  • A logo, brand palette, or landing-page redesign before revenue. Ship ugly. Ugly with a payment link outperforms beautiful with a waitlist.
  • A waitlist instead of a price. A waitlist is a way of postponing the only question that matters. Charge, even if you refund.
  • "Free for now, we'll monetise later." Free users teach you how to serve free users. Price on day one; discount deliberately if you must.
  • Building the automation before doing it manually. Do it by hand ten times. The tenth time you'll know exactly what to automate — and you'll have been paid for the lessons.
  • Feature parity with the incumbent. You lose that race by definition. Win on the one thing their 2-star reviews complain about.
  • Waiting for a company, a bank account, or a contract to start. Take the first payment however the law allows, then formalise fast.
  • Perfect onboarding for zero users. Onboarding is a conversation until you have twenty customers.

The 72-hour sequence

Hours 0–4 — the offer, in one page. Who it's for, the outcome, the price, what happens after payment. Written before anything is built. If the page doesn't convince you, no code will.

Hours 4–12 — the sellable slice. The one workflow that delivers the outcome. Manual behind the curtain is not just allowed, it's preferred: a form, a spreadsheet, and you doing the work is a real business. Ship the payment link with it, not after it.

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.
