ship-gate

ship-gate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Morningstar202604/awesome-skillkit. It costs 106 tokens per session (2,299 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A pre-release codebase audit that checks security, databases, deployment, code quality, AI or language-model code, dependencies, front-end code, and monitoring.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before launching or deploying an application to review production readiness across the supported areas.
Why use it?
It finds issues that could make a release unsafe or unreliable and reports whether each area passes, fails, or needs manual review. It can pause deployment until critical checks pass.

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-gate 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/ship_gate_scanner.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 — 179 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ship Gate

A pre-production audit: scan the codebase across 8 categories, giving a PASS/FAIL/MANUAL verdict per item. Automated checks run via a built-in scanner; items that can't be verified automatically become a manual-confirmation checklist. This skill only audits and reports — it doesn't fix.

Interception Behavior

When the user says "push to production", "deploy", "ship it", "go live", or similar deployment intent, don't deploy directly. Instead:

  1. Ask: "Have you run the ship gate? Want me to scan it now?"
  2. If the user agrees → run the workflow below.
  3. If the user says it's already been run → ask when. If it was over 24 hours ago, or the code changed since then → recommend rerunning.

Input Checklist

Input Required Description
Project root No Defaults to the current directory
Scan category No One of the 8 (SEC/DB/CODE/DEP/AI/DEPLOY/FE/OBS); defaults to all
Output format No Human-readable (default, colored) or --json
Interactive confirmation No Defaults to interactively asking about manual items; add --no-interactive for CI

When inputs are missing, ask for all at once: "Please provide: (1) project root (blank = current directory); (2) a full scan or just one category."

Pre-flight Checks

# 1. Python 3 is available
python3 --version
# Expected: Python 3.8+. On failure: install and retry, STOP.

# 2. The scanner exists
ls scripts/ship_gate_scanner.py
# Expected: the filename (run inside the skill directory). On failure: cd to the skill directory; still missing → STOP and report.

# 3. The target project directory exists
ls <project root> > /dev/null && echo OK
# Expected: OK. On failure: confirm the path with the user, STOP.

# 4. The checks and patterns library are in place
ls references/checks.md references/patterns.md
# Expected: both filenames. Missing → STOP and report an incomplete repo.

Workflow

Step 1: Full scan

python3 scripts/ship_gate_scanner.py examples/sample-frontend --json --no-interactive --category FE   # bundled compliant sample (all FE items pass as ADVISORY → CLEAR_TO_SHIP rc=0); for a full audit on a real project drop --category; a non-zero exit on non-compliance is the CI gate semantics

Files

What ships with it

3 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.
