ship-plugin is a skill for Claude Code from tonykipkemboi/skill-foundry. It costs 46 tokens per session (3,511 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for packaging skill files into a department plugin and submitting the result to GitHub through a branch and pull request.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps add or update skills in a plugin, run required checks, create a feature branch, commit changes, and open a pull request.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable checklist for intake, organization, local policy checks, commits, and submission while protecting the main branch.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: Claude Code plugin machinery. Also seen: names the AskUserQuestion tool; mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bash scripts/build-org-skills.sh # validates frontmatter, rebuilds dist/.

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-plugin 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 6d 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 — 273 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ship Plugin

Drive the full pipeline: take loose skill files (SKILL.md, .skill archives, reference docs), package them into this plugin, run all policy checks locally, and open a PR to the department's GitHub repo. CI is the authoritative gate, so never push to main.

Optimize for accuracy over speed: each step below guards against a known failure mode. Do them all, in order, even when the change looks trivial.

Two rules before you touch anything (read first)

These apply no matter which assistant runs this (Claude Code, Codex, etc.):

  1. Work on a branch, never on main. Before any commit, run git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD. If it returns main, create a feature branch first (git checkout -b add-<skill-name>). Do not commit, edit-then-commit, or push on main at any point. Every change ships through a branch and a PR.

  2. When you need a decision, ask. Don't guess. Whenever the next step depends on a choice only the user can make, STOP and ask using the AskUserQuestion tool (or your platform's equivalent interactive prompt) before proceeding. Examples that require asking: new plugin vs. add-to-existing; the plugin name/slug; which existing plugin to target; what the skill should be named if it's ambiguous; whether to include a skill that won't work in the target runtime; the semver bump level if unclear. Never assume a consequential answer.

    Make each question easy to answer well. Use the normal terms (plugin, skill), which they know, but with every question briefly say why you're asking and what the choice leads to, and give an example of a good answer. When you can discover the options yourself, present them as concrete choices instead of an open question: for example, run gh repo list YOUR-ORG or read the existing plugins and offer them as a pick-list for "which plugin should this join?". Invite the user to ask back if anything is unclear before they answer.

Step 0: Preflight (audit the repo state before planning anything)

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.
