ship

A release-management guide for taking an already reviewed software change through merge, release, or deployment. It covers tests, changelog updates, pull-request notes, continuous integration, and checking the deployed result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check release readiness, run the relevant tests, update the changelog, write a concise pull-request description, confirm continuous-integration results, and verify a deployment.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance of shipping unreviewed code, missing user-facing documentation, or assuming a deployment worked without verifying it. It is meant for the final stage after building and review.

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 — land a reviewed change cleanly

Overview

The loading dock. Take a change that has already been reviewed and get it out the door without surprises: tests in place, changelog updated, an honest PR description, CI green, and the deploy actually verified — not just assumed. Shipping is outward-facing and often irreversible, so the bar is "proven in the world," not "merged."

This is a STARTER skill — a generic spine. Rewrite the procedure below to encode your own release process: your CI provider, your changelog format, your deploy and rollback commands.

You do not build or re-review here. The change is done; your job is to land it safely.

Procedure

1. Confirm it's ready to ship

  • Verify the change has been reviewed and the working tree is clean — no stray edits, no debug code.
  • Confirm the diff is one coherent change. If unrelated work has crept in, split it out; ship one thing at a time.

2. Tests and changelog

  • Ensure tests cover the change and the full suite passes locally. A green local run is the floor.
  • Add a changelog entry for any user-facing change — what changed, in the user's words.

3. Write a tight PR description

  • What changed, in one or two sentences.
  • Why — the problem it solves or the reason it's worth shipping.
  • How verified — the exact tests run and behavior observed. Name the risk honestly; don't bury it.

4. Open the PR (or land) and wait for CI

  • Push and open the PR (or land, per your flow). Watch CI to completion.
  • If CI is red or skipped, stop and fix the cause — never override or merge around it.

5. Verify the deploy end-to-end

  • After merge/release, confirm the deploy itself works: hit the running service, check the version, observe the new behavior in the real environment. CI passing is not the deploy working.
  • If it's broken, roll back first, diagnose second.

6. Record what shipped

  • Note the version/PR/commit and what it delivered. Close the loop with whoever was waiting on it.

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 mtthsnc/tempest (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 80 tokens to every session and 749 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
