ship

A release workflow that takes a project’s current code through checks, changelog updates, version assessment, tagging, and advancement of the main development line.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify release lanes, prepare a changelog when applicable, assess release risk, create a version tag, and advance trunk.
Why use it?
It puts the release steps in one defined process and stops the release when required pre-release checks fail.

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 2d 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.

ship

Role: the release cut. Takes the current tip to a tagged release: verifies the pre-land lanes, writes the changelog, assesses release risk, tags, and advances trunk. Folds the old merge-to-trunk and prepare-release steps into one cycle.

Prerequisites

~/.agentic-sdk/<project>/project.edn exists with :lanes :pre-land and :vcs. The tip is at a state the maintainer wants to release. A target version (or a recommendation the maintainer approves at the gate).

Procedure

  1. Verify the pre-land lanes. Dispatch one verifier running verify-lanes against the :pre-land lane set from the descriptor. This is the release gate: it must pass clean. FAIL feeds back to fix-bug or implement-change; the release does not proceed on a failing gate.
  2. Write the changelog (if the project keeps one). Dispatch write-changelog. It checks the project stage first: alpha and beta projects keep no changelog, and the dispatch returns immediately with no entry. For stable projects it reads the commit log since the last release tag, groups changes by category, drops internal-only churn, and writes the release section. Determine the version bump from the landed changes: breaking changes force major, new capabilities force minor, fixes force patch. Recommend; the maintainer decides at the gate.
  3. Assess release risk. Dispatch assess-risk against the landed changes. It maps the blast radius, dependencies and their failure behavior, the rollout strategy, monitoring and rollback plan, the risk register, and the go/no-go criteria. It writes ops/<date>_risk_<slug>.md. Hold its one-line return.
  4. Advance trunk, then tag. The tip is a linear stack ready to land. Advance the protected main bookmark over the stack: with jj, jj bookmark set main -r <tip>, then push. This is the merge-to-trunk step folded in. Then tag at main: with jj (git-compatible), git tag -a v<version> -m "<version>" and push the tag.
  5. Present the gate. Show the maintainer the changelog (if any), the risk assessment path, the recommended version, and the tag. The tag is the approval gate. On approval, apply the tag and advance trunk. An autonomous run never tags or advances main without the maintainer's yes.

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 leifericf/agentic-sdk (5 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 763 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
