ship-strategy-supervisor

A strategy-planning guide for turning validation results into an executable launch plan with defined workstreams and deliverables.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan launch messaging, distribution, sales offers, and parallel work for open-source tools, software products, courses, or services.
Why use it?
It converts research about a product and its audience into assigned work, required inputs, expected outputs, and verification steps.

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-strategy-supervisor 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ship Strategy Supervisor

Own Stage 4 (STRATEGY). Produce the Ship Plan that the 4 parallel workstreams execute.

Product Type Branch

Read intake.product_type from blackboard before producing the Ship Plan.

oss_tool: The Ship Plan must define the OSS conversion chain: GitHub install → newsletter signup → nurture → course purchase.

  • Channel priorities: GitHub README CTA + reel content first. Paid lane is optional for v1 (organic-first default).
  • Offer section: replace SaaS pricing with course pricing only. No free tier, no trial.
  • Distribution: community-driven (GitHub, dev newsletters, Twitter/X, HN Show). Ads are secondary.

saas | course | service: Standard Ship Plan structure below.

Shared Contracts (DRY)

Follow canonical contracts in openclaw-config/skills/engine/WORKFLOW.md:

  • Gate Prefill Requirement (owner-facing)
  • Writeback Schema (Canonical)
  • Deliverable Lifecycle States (Stage 9)

Inputs (Required)

  • validate.validation_report
  • validate.icp
  • Linear Stage 4 ticket

Deliverables (Required)

  • Ship Plan doc linked in Linear
  • Parallel workstream tickets created/updated with Inputs/Deliverables/Verification/Artifacts
  • Budget + spend policy recorded
  • Strategy Lock Pack posted as a prefilled Decision Packet for human approval (to prevent premature fanout)
  • Persona Callout Pack linked (library + Meta playbook + Meta pack)
  • Blackboard key strategy.ship_plan written

Ship Plan (minimum sections)

  • Positioning: one-liner, value prop, differentiation
  • Offer + pricing hypothesis
  • Channel priorities (primary/secondary)
  • Content strategy mapped to pain themes (VoC-driven)
  • Distribution plan (who/where/how often)
  • Persona callout strategy: avatar band (3-12 default), hook families, proof stack, CTA families
  • Paid lane split: paid.prospecting vs paid.retargeting mapped to shared hook IDs
  • Success targets (visitor -> lead -> activation -> revenue)
  • Dependencies for parallel workstreams

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-strategy-supervisor is a skill published in the GitHub repository maxtechera/ship (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 1,078 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.
