Ship Project - Multi-AI Delivery Validation

Finalize and deliver completed work with Multi-AI security audit, lessons capture, and archival.

Core principle: Verify ready -> Multi-AI audit -> Capture lessons -> Archive -> Ship.

---

When to Use

Use this skill when user asks:

• "Ship the project" or "We're done"
• "Finalize this" or "Let's deliver"
• "Complete the project" or "Ready to ship"
• "Mark as shipped" or "Time to deliver"

Do NOT use for:

• Code review (use /octo:review or flow-deliver)
• Implementation (use /octo:develop)
• Research (use /octo:research)

The Process

Phase 1: Verify Project Ready to Ship

Step 1: Check .octo/ Exists

if [[ ! -d ".octo" ]]; then
    echo "No project initialized"
    exit 1
fi

If .octo/ does not exist:

## Cannot Ship

**Status:** No project initialized

No Claude Octopus project found in this directory.

Run `/octo:embrace [description]` to start a new project.

STOP. Do not proceed.

Step 2: Read STATE.md Status

# Check if STATE.md exists and read status
if [[ -f ".octo/STATE.md" ]]; then
    # Read current status
    STATUS=$(grep -E "^status:" .octo/STATE.md | cut -d':' -f2 | xargs || echo "unknown")
    CURRENT_PHASE=$(grep -E "^current_phase:" .octo/STATE.md | cut -d':' -f2 | xargs || echo "unknown")
else
    STATUS="unknown"
    CURRENT_PHASE="unknown"
fi

echo "Status: $STATUS"
echo "Current Phase: $CURRENT_PHASE"

Step 3: Validate Ready State

Ship is allowed when:

• status = "complete" OR
• current_phase = "4" (Deliver phase) OR
• All four phases have entries in STATE.md history

If not ready:

## Project Not Ready to Ship

**Current Status:** {status}
**Current Phase:** {current_phase}

### To prepare for shipping:

1. Complete remaining phases:
   - [ ] Phase 1: Discover - Use `/octo:discover`
   - [ ] Phase 2: Define - Use `/octo:define`
   - [ ] Phase 3: Develop - Use `/octo:develop`
   - [ ] Phase 4: Deliver - Use `/octo:deliver`

2. Or override with: "ship anyway" (not recommended)
