hindsight: Skill for Claude Code

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

ship-it is a skill for Claude Code from vectorize-io/hindsight. It costs 67 tokens per session (1,925 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for taking a pull request (a proposed code change) through review, automated checks, and merging. It applies non-blocking review fixes and stops when a requested change would conflict with the pull request’s purpose.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a pull request, fix its review findings, wait for continuous integration (automated build and test checks) to pass, and squash-merge it.
Why use it?
It removes the manual steps between receiving review comments and merging a ready change. It also prevents the agent from rewriting or merging a change when a review finding challenges its goal.

About the project

vectorize-io/hindsight is an agent memory system that stores experiences and helps AI agents learn over time instead of only recalling conversation history. It is used by developers adding long-term memory to agents, including coding agents. Catalogue add-ons connect agents to Hindsight and its memory workflows.

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 22d 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 — 139 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ship It

Input: a PR number or URL, or nothing — then use the current branch's PR (gh pr view with no argument resolves it). If the current branch has no PR yet, push it and open one with gh pr create (maintainer branch only), then continue. Goal: the PR merged with every code-review finding fixed and CI green.

0b. A figure in the description, when the change has a shape

If the PR changes how something flows — a request path, a background job, what a feature does step by step — a picture explains it faster than the diff does. Use the figure skill: write a JSON spec, render one animated SVG, and put it at the top of the PR description. It plays in the description with no upload and no click.

Reference it by commit SHA, not branch name, or the image dies when the branch is deleted at merge: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/<owner>/<repo>/<sha>/<path>.svg. If the SVG is not part of the change itself, don't commit it to the repo — render it, commit it on the PR branch only if it belongs there, and otherwise keep the description's image pinned to the commit that carried it.

Skip it for a fix with no shape: a one-line guard, a dependency bump, a typo.

0. Blocker rule (applies at every step)

A blocker is a finding whose fix would go against the PR's goal — the code-review principles say the thing the PR sets out to do is wrong (e.g. the PR's whole point is a raw-SQL handler, a new advisory lock, a tuple-returning API, a test that asserts via SQL, dropping bank scoping), or fixing it would mean rewriting/removing the feature rather than polishing it.

On a blocker: stop immediately. Don't push, don't merge, don't partially fix. Tell the user what the PR is trying to do, which principle it conflicts with (quote the code-review section), and the options you see — then ask for confirmation with AskUserQuestion. Resume only on an explicit answer.

Everything else (must fix, should fix, nits) is not a blocker: fix it all.

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.
