shipping

shipping is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from int2t05/engineering-skills. It costs 48 tokens per session (1,688 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Production-release checklist for deploying software or launching a feature. It covers tests, build quality, security, monitoring, rollback preparation, and launch-day checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before a production deployment, data or infrastructure migration, beta launch, or other change that needs a verified rollback and success check.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance that a release fails without detection or cannot be safely reversed.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for Claude Code and Codex: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable, but also agents/openai.yaml present.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

shipping 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 6d 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 — 138 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Shipping and Launch

Ship with confidence: deploy safely, with monitoring in place, a rollback plan ready, and a clear definition of success. Every launch should be reversible, observable, and incremental. Faster is safer — smaller batches and more frequent releases reduce risk, not increase it.

When to use

  • Deploying a feature or significant change to production for the first time.
  • Migrating data or infrastructure.
  • Opening a beta or early access program.
  • Any deployment that carries risk (all of them).

Not for: setting up CI/CD pipelines (use ci-cd); routine commits, branching, or conflict resolution (use git-workflow); rolling back a live failure (use debugging first, then ship the fix).

Steps

1. Complete the pre-launch checklist

Before deploying, every section must be green.

Code quality

  • All tests pass (unit, integration, e2e)
  • Build succeeds; lint and type checking pass
  • Code reviewed and approved
  • No console.log / debug statements; no pre-launch TODOs left
  • Error handling covers expected failure modes

Security

  • No secrets in code or version control
  • Dependency audit (npm audit, pip-audit, cargo audit, ...) shows no critical/high vulnerabilities
  • Input validation on all user-facing endpoints
  • Authn/authz in place; rate limiting on auth endpoints
  • Security headers (CSP, HSTS); CORS scoped to specific origins, not wildcard

Performance & accessibility — adapt to your service type. The checklist below assumes a web frontend; for a backend service focus on p99 latency, error rate, and connection-pool saturation; for a CLI/library focus on startup time, binary size, and cross-platform tests.

  • Core Web Vitals in "Good" thresholds; bundle within budget
  • Images optimized (compression, responsive sizes, lazy loading)
  • No N+1 queries on critical paths; indexes and caching in place
  • Caching configured for static assets and repeated queries
  • Keyboard navigation, screen reader, WCAG 2.1 AA contrast
  • Focus management for modals and dynamic content
  • Descriptive error messages associated with form fields
  • No axe-core / Lighthouse accessibility warnings

What ships with it

3 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.

shipping is a skill published in the GitHub repository int2t05/engineering-skills (3 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 1,688 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
