ship

ship is a skill for Claude Code from jcottam/agent-resources. It costs 99 tokens per session (3,956 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for validating a code branch, running its quality checks, updating project documentation and the changelog, and opening or updating a pull request. A pull request is a proposed code change submitted for review before merging.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when preparing to ship JavaScript or TypeScript changes, running linting, type checks, tests, and builds, updating documentation and release notes, and creating a pull request.
Why use it?
It gathers the steps needed before sharing a change, so failed tests, missing documentation, or an incorrect branch are caught earlier. It supports GitHub and Azure DevOps projects.

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 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 today.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/backfill-pr.sh, scripts/changelog-bump.sh, scripts/detect-gates.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 303 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ship

Pre-flight checklist that validates the branch, runs quality gates, updates documentation and changelog, and opens a pull request.

GitHub is the primary host; Azure DevOps is secondary. The scripts detect the provider from the git remote (github.com vs dev.azure.com). If origin is not a GitHub remote, do not use gh — even when the remote is ambiguous or a script falls back to GitHub.

Workflow overview

- [ ] Step 0: Defer to the repository (repo ship skill; skip gh if origin is not GitHub)
- [ ] Step 1: Verify CLI tools and host auth (GitHub or Azure DevOps)
- [ ] Step 2: Preflight (rebase, branch, existing PR, provider)
- [ ] Step 3: Quality gates (lint → typecheck → test → build)
- [ ] Step 4: Documentation (README.md, AGENTS.md)
- [ ] Step 5: Changelog bump
- [ ] Step 6: Push and open or update PR
- [ ] Step 7: Post-flight report

Script path placeholder

$SCRIPTS is a placeholder for the absolute path to the scripts/ directory next to this file — not a predefined shell or PowerShell variable. Resolve it before running any command:

  • bash/zsh: SCRIPTS=/abs/path/to/scripts
  • PowerShell: $SCRIPTS = 'C:\abs\path\to\scripts'

Running helper scripts (cross-platform)

The helper scripts (preflight.sh, detect-gates.sh, changelog-bump.sh, backfill-pr.sh) are bash and require bash, jq, node, and git on PATH. PR operations also need gh (GitHub) and/or az (Azure DevOps), depending on the repo remote. If origin is not a GitHub remote, do not use gh.

  • macOS / Linux: run directly — e.g. bash "$SCRIPTS/preflight.sh".
  • Windows (PowerShell): use Git Bash, not WSL bash.exe (which cannot see Windows-installed tools). Discover Git Bash from the git install, then invoke each script through it:
$gitRoot = Split-Path (Split-Path (Get-Command git).Source)   # e.g. C:\Program Files\Git
$bash = Join-Path $gitRoot 'bin\bash.exe'
& $bash "$SCRIPTS/preflight.sh"   # repeat per script + args

Files

What ships with it

5 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.
