.claude/skills/ship-it/SKILL.md

ship-it is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from stevengonsalvez/agents-in-a-box. It costs 96 tokens per session (2,733 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for taking GitHub changes from commits through pull-request review, fixes, checks, and merging.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to ship a completed change through a pull request, with either a lighter or more detailed review process.
Why use it?
It keeps the steps of preparing and reviewing a change together until review findings are resolved.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for Claude Code and Codex: installed under .claude/, but also runs codex exec. Also seen: mentions AGENTS.md; mentions Codex.

This is stevengonsalvez/agents-in-a-box's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on agents-in-a-box itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything agents-in-a-box configures →

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 11d 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-it

Conductor skill. Runs in the main loop (interactive steps stay interactive). The only expensive part, heavy review fan-out, runs as a dynamic Workflow.

/commit ──▶ gh pr create ──▶ REVIEW (lite|heavy) ──▶ fix ALL ──▶ re-REVIEW
                                                        ▲            │
                                                        └── loop ────┘ until 0
                                                                     │
                                                     CI green ──▶ gh pr merge --merge

Arguments

/ship-it [lite|heavy] [pr-number]

  • lite (default): single-pass PR review. Cheap, fast.
  • heavy: ce-style multi-persona fan-out + Codex cross-model peer.
  • pr-number: skip commit/PR-create, start at the review loop on that PR.

Model routing (hard rules)

Role Model
Conductor, commit/PR/merge mechanics session model
Review agents (both tiers) Opus, always (Fable only if Stevie says so in chat)
Codex peer (heavy only) Codex, high reasoning effort (put the literal --effort high in the peer prompt, see Step 3)
Applying mechanical fixes Sonnet (fast-worker) for well-specified edits; main loop for judgment calls

Review is the safety net: never route review to Sonnet or Haiku. lite's single pass runs inline only when the session model is Opus-class (Opus or Fable); on a Sonnet/Haiku session, spawn a code-reviewer agent with model: opus instead of reviewing inline.

Step 1: Commit

Invoke the /commit skill (Skill tool). It owns cleanup, atomic staging by named paths, signed commits, push. Do not reimplement any of it here. If the working tree is already clean and the branch is pushed, skip ahead.

Step 2: Pull request

BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current)
git fetch origin
# Sync against the PR's OWN base, never a hardcoded main (stacked PRs exist).
# Resolution order: caller-supplied base > this branch's OPEN PR > repo default.
# `gh pr view` with no number is deliberately NOT used: it resolves a merged or
# closed PR too, handing back a stale base.
BASE="${SHIP_IT_BASE:-}"
[ -n "$BASE" ] || BASE=$(gh pr list --head "$BRANCH" --state open \
                           --json baseRefName --jq '.[0].baseRefName' 2>/dev/null)
[ -n "$BASE" ] || BASE=$(gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef \
                           --jq .defaultBranchRef.name)
git merge "origin/$BASE"                         # MERGE, never rebase a pushed PR branch
gh pr list --head "$BRANCH" --state open --json number,url   # reuse existing PR if open
gh pr create --fill --base "$BASE"               # otherwise create, onto the SAME base

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.
