ship

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.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Part of the agent-resources plugin — 9 skills shipped together

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.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Or install agent-resources, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 9 skills.

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 3d ago.

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 — 295 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). When the remote is ambiguous, they try GitHub first, then Azure DevOps.

Workflow overview

- [ ] Step 0: Verify CLI tools and host auth (GitHub or Azure DevOps)
- [ ] Step 1: Preflight (rebase, branch, existing PR, provider)
- [ ] Step 2: Quality gates (lint → typecheck → test → build)
- [ ] Step 3: Documentation (README.md, AGENTS.md)
- [ ] Step 4: Changelog bump
- [ ] Step 5: Push and open or update PR
- [ ] Step 6: 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.

  • 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

If bin\bash.exe does not exist under the git root, stop and tell the user to install Git for Windows (bundles Git Bash).

Throughout the steps below, every $SCRIPTS/<name>.sh reference means run that script using the OS-appropriate invocation above.

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.

ship is a skill published in the GitHub repository jcottam/agent-resources (30 stars, last pushed 27d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 99 tokens to every session and 3,636 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
