ship-it is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from paultyng/skill-issue. It costs 63 tokens per session (1,000 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for preparing software changes for delivery: it formats and checks the code, runs tests, updates the changelog, creates a conventional commit, pushes it, and updates the pull request.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you want to run the pre-commit checks and then commit, push, update the pull request, and suggest reviewers.
Why use it?
It puts the common release steps in one repeatable process and stops when required verification fails.

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-it 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.

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

Ship It

Run the full pre-commit pipeline, commit, push, and handle PR housekeeping.

1. Verify

Run verification per verify-when-complete. Stop if any step fails.

Review-status check (informational, non-blocking). If a .reviews/<date>/SUMMARY.md exists whose GIT_COMMIT_FULL metadata header matches the current HEAD SHA, count the rows under ## Findings — untracked and inside the <details> block for Findings — tracked, then print a single line:

Review status: <N> untracked / <M> tracked findings @ <short-sha> (<.reviews/path>)

Do not block on N > 0 — /ship-it runs because the user said so. The line is a sanity check, not a gate. If no matching SUMMARY.md exists, skip the line silently (don't run /review-all from here).

2. Changelog

Check if the project has a changelog convention:

  1. If Taskfile.yaml has a changelog task, run task changelog and follow its output.
  2. Otherwise, look for existing changelog entries:
    • Per-PR fragment directories like .changeset/ (JS/TS via @changesets/cli), .changes/ (Python via towncrier), or similar project-defined conventions
    • CHANGELOG.md at the repo root
  3. If a convention is found, create a terse entry following the existing format and patterns.
  4. If no changelog convention exists, skip this step.

3. Commit

Stage all changes and commit using Conventional Commits format:

<type>[optional scope]: <description>

Common types: feat, fix, refactor, test, docs, chore, ci, build.

Always create a new commit. Never amend.

Apply terse-output commit-message tone: imperative subject ≤72 chars, body explains why (the diff shows what), no "this commit does X" / "I" / "we" / "now". Keep the Co-Authored-By: Claude… attribution.

4. Push and PR

Push the current branch:

git push -u origin HEAD

If a PR exists for the current branch, update its title and description to reflect the current state:

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.
