ship

ship is a skill for Claude Code from slamb2k/mad-skills. It costs 78 tokens per session (6,159 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that takes completed code changes through the pull request lifecycle: synchronization, commits, branch management, review checks, and merging. A pull request is a request to review and add changes to a shared branch.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when feature work is ready to commit, push, submit for review, monitor checks, fix issues, and merge.
Why use it?
It coordinates the many repository steps after coding and exposes problems found by automated checks before the changes are merged.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Part of the mad-skills plugin — 20 skills, 2 hooks shipped together

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 1 finding 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/ci-watch.sh, scripts/create-pr.sh, scripts/create-pr.test.js, …), 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Ship - Full PR Lifecycle

When this skill is invoked, IMMEDIATELY output the banner below before doing anything else. Pick ONE tagline at random — vary your choice each time. CRITICAL: Reproduce the banner EXACTLY character-for-character, including the diagonal / glyph before the name.

Ship changes through the complete PR lifecycle. Deterministic stages (sync, CI polling, merge) run as bash scripts for speed and reliability. Only stages that require reasoning (commit/PR authoring, CI fix analysis) use LLM subagents. Stage prompts are in references/stage-prompts.md.

Flags

Parse optional flags from the request:

  • --pr-only: Stop after creating the PR
  • --no-squash: Use regular merge instead of squash
  • --keep-branch: Don't delete the source branch after merge
  • --no-superpowers: Force standalone merge even when Superpowers is installed
  • --auto: Full autopilot (pr-first-autonomous-build.md REQ-013, superseding autonomous-execution-mode.md REQ-029) — CI-watch and fix-loop run exactly as interactive /ship (2-attempt cap unchanged), and on green checks it proceeds to merge (Stage 5) and post-merge sync/teardown (Stage 5b) just like interactive /ship, rather than stopping at the PR. The PR description body remains the durable report; see references/autonomous-report.md.

Files

What ships with it

9 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.
