ship

ship is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mikecann/agent-skills. It costs 77 tokens per session (1,768 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for taking a code branch through pull-request creation, automated checks, review comments, and merge readiness. A branch is a separate line of code changes, and a pull request is a request to add those changes to the main project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to ship a branch, create or monitor a pull request, respond to automated review comments, keep checking after fixes, and optionally squash-merge once everything is green.
Why use it?
It removes the need to repeatedly check CI, handle automated review threads, and track whether a pull request is ready. It also stops when a human decision or another blocker is needed.

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 8d 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 — 230 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ship

Take the current branch from "work in progress" to "ready to merge".

This skill is for the full PR babysitting loop:

  • confirm you are on a real feature branch
  • find or create the PR
  • watch CI and review activity
  • handle automated review comments one by one
  • push fixes and keep re-checking
  • stop only when the PR is merge-ready or blocked by something a human must decide

When to Use

Use this when the user wants you to:

  • ship a branch
  • create a PR if needed
  • monitor CI until it settles
  • deal with AI review bots or automated review comments
  • keep a PR merge-ready in a loop
  • squash merge once everything is green

Do not use this for a normal one-off code review or a one-time push.

Core Rules

  1. Work from the current local branch.
    • If git branch --show-current is empty, or you are detached, stop and tell the user.
    • If you are on main or the repo's default branch, stop and tell the user there is no feature branch to ship.
  2. Use gh for GitHub work.
    • Use gh pr view, gh pr create, gh pr checks, gh pr review, and gh api.
    • If gh pr view is not enough for review threads, use gh api graphql.
  3. After every push, monitor checks again.
    • Do not push and walk away.
  4. Handle automated review comments explicitly.
    • Decide whether the comment is valid.
    • If valid, implement a fix, push it, reply with what changed, then resolve the thread.
    • If not valid, do not change code, reply with why, then resolve the thread.
  5. Do not auto-resolve human reviewer comments unless the user explicitly asked for that.
  6. Do not merge unless the user explicitly asked you to merge when ready.
    • If they asked for squash merge, use squash merge.

Workflow

1. Establish PR state

  1. Get the current branch.
  2. Check whether it already has an open PR.
  3. If there is no PR:
    • make sure the branch is pushed
    • create the PR
    • capture the PR number and URL
  4. Report the PR URL to the user once it exists.

If PR creation needs missing information and the repo does not make it obvious, draft a concise title/body from the branch diff and recent commits.

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.
