ship

A release-preparation step that drafts a changelog, a dated record of changes, from a dossier's work ledger and Git history. It can preview the draft or write it to a specifically selected CHANGELOG.md file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before closing a dossier to prepare changelog entries, review a proposed version bump, or preview notes from incomplete work.
Why use it?
It turns recorded work into release notes and avoids guessing when a repository contains more than one changelog.

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 yesterday.

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

ds:ship — changelog from the ledger, before the archive

Both plugin CHANGELOGs here hand-author dated wave entries; ds:ship mechanises that shape from §T plus git log. One file written, one recommendation printed, nothing else touched.

Inputs

  • --preview — allow a partial §T; print the draft to stdout and write nothing.
  • --changelog <path> — explicit target file. Required whenever the repo holds more than one CHANGELOG.md (this one holds two); the operator names the target. When a wave spans plugins, repeat per target with a row subset — the split derives from each cite's touched paths and the operator confirms it.

Steps

0. Detect host env

Per ADAPTERS.md.

1. Locate + gate

Live dossier per ds:status. A non-preview run requires §T all-x (the same scan ds:close uses). --preview skips the gate and only prints.

Changelog-target check: count CHANGELOG.md files in the repo (skipping node_modules/, .scratchpad/). More than one and no --changelog given → refuse:

ds:ship: <n> CHANGELOG.md files found — pass --changelog <path> (never guessing dispatch).

2. Resolve cites

For every x row, classify the cite cell first:

  • SHA-shaped ([0-9a-f]{7,40}): verify with git -C <repo> cat-file -t <sha> per §X repo. A commit object resolves through git log -1 --format=... <sha>. Always pass the verified SHA — a bare git log -1 <cite> falls back to pathspec resolution and quietly resolves a wrong commit for non-SHA text.
  • Anything else (artifact filename, §-ref — FORMAT.md enumerates SHA/PR-ref/, and live dossiers legitimately carry artifact cites for research rows): bucket as [no commit cite], entry text from the ledger's task cell. A sanctioned no-commit row is signal, not noise.
  • SHA-shaped and present in no §X repo: flag [cite unresolved]. Every row lands somewhere.

3. Parse + map

Conventional-commit regex on the subject (type(scope)!: desc). No match → bucket under Changed, flagged [non-conventional commit]. Map type → bump and type → category per reference/changelog-mapping.md (bump table = spec; category table = convention, labelled).

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.

ship is a skill published in the GitHub repository raisedadead/claude-code-plugins (2 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed ISC. It adds 102 tokens to every session and 1,417 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
