ship-workflow

ship-workflow is a skill for Claude Code from Mathews-Tom/armory. It costs 158 tokens per session (2,258 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release workflow that takes a feature branch through checks, testing, review, version updates, changelog creation, pushing, and pull-request creation. A feature branch is a separate line of development, and a pull request is a proposed change for review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare a feature for release, create orderly commits, update the version and changelog, push the branch, and open a pull request.
Why use it?
It catches an unsuitable branch, uncommitted work, remote changes, test failures, or other release problems before the change is proposed for merging.

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-workflow 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 28 executable files (scripts/changeset.py, scripts/git_ops.py, scripts/github_ops.py, …), 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 — 107 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ship Workflow

Ship through the authorized endpoint using the repository's current checks, required reviews, branch protections and merge policy. Routine shipping is the default. The executable owns Git/provider mutations, journals, reconciliation and cleanup; the assistant owns scope, logical change grouping, repository conventions and unfamiliar failure diagnosis.

Reference Files

File Contents Load When
references/commit-planning.md Inventory, logical commit plans and local gate packets Creating commits or requesting local/per-commit validation
references/lifecycle-contract.md Explicit policy, assurance, publication, stack packets, journals and recovery Supplying --policy or --stack-plan, resuming, or interpreting a blocker
references/project-detection.md Repository gate-source detection Locating local test commands; version/changelog tables do not authorize release work

Workflow

1. Resolve scope

Choose exactly one target: --pr N, --branch NAME, an explicit stack, a saved run, or the current branch when it identifies exactly one target. Resolve ambiguous targets or bases from provider/Git facts; ask only when those facts cannot decide. --repo [HOST/]OWNER/REPO names the PR base repository, and --head-repo OWNER/REPO names a fork head namespace.

Request Endpoint
"Ship it", /ship, "finish PR 12 and clean up" clean (default)
"Merge it", "land PR 12 but keep the branch" --until merged
"Open a PR", "push and PR" --until pr
"Check CI", "what blocks PR 12" --until pr --dry-run (inspection only)
Version, changelog, tag, release, package publication or deployment Separate release authority, not this skill

State the target, endpoint and cleanup scope before mutation. A resume preserves the saved authority. pr confirms publication only; merged adds confirmed landing and applicable post-merge acceptance; clean adds proof-based cleanup. Keep active, dirty, protected/default/release, unmerged, open-PR-dependent and unknown work. Never widen a stack selection or resume endpoint implicitly.

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.
