shipping-task

shipping-task is a skill for Claude Code from wayne930242/straw-boss. It costs 124 tokens per session (2,457 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for carrying one coding task through a project's Git process. Git is the system used to record code changes, branches, reviews, and merges.

In plain words
What is it for?
Selecting the app, choosing team or solo work, committing changes, opening or updating a merge request, and archiving the work.
Why use it?
It gives the task a defined path from choosing the right app through implementation, review, merging, and cleanup.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: mentions Codex.

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.

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

shipping-task 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 — 101 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Overview

See docs/roles.md for the cast of characters and the authority framework (including the merge/other-branch-push authorization gate below) this skill operates under — not redefined here.

straw-boss standardizes two lifecycle shapes across every managed app: team-mode (worktree → develop → MR → merge → archive) and solo-mode (develop directly in the app's primary checkout, commit straight to the base branch). Which one applies is how the user regards this piece of work, so Task 2 asks them — except where the resolved app's apps.json entry sets forbidDirectCommit: true, in which case only team-mode is offered. Scoping the task happens before this skill. Picking the app happens as this skill's own first step, via work-on.

The execution tier comes from boss-say: a bounded single-loop stays with the current agent; work needing a separate durable workroom uses dispatching-work. An app may already own its git lifecycle through apps.json.gitWorkflowSkill; otherwise the fallback below applies.

Commit needs no authorization — the agent commits on its own as it goes. Neither does pushing the task's own feature branch (opening or updating an MR/PR against it) — the branch was already implicitly authorized when the main agent created it; the agent reports with send-dispatch-message.py --to main --intent inform and continues, or records progress when no live route exists. Merge is the mutation the agent cannot self-authorize — as is any push that lands on another tracked branch: the agent stops and persists awaiting-authorization instead.

Task Initialization

Create durable task tracking when the selected execution tier spans turns or checkpoints. A bounded single-loop needs no extra lifecycle bookkeeping.

Task 1: Resolve the app

Invoke work-on when the target app is not established. It returns the app and directory; the execution tier remains the one selected by boss-say.

Verification: you can name the app and its directory, sourced from work-on.

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.
