SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Shipping code requires many manual, error-prone steps: merging the base branch, running tests against the merged state, bumping the version, updating the changelog, committing, pushing, and opening a pull request. Mistakes or missed steps cause broken releases, flaky CI, and wasted review cycles.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end ship workflow: Merge the base branch into your feature branch, run test suites, and surface failures or merge conflicts before landing.
  • Release hygiene: Bump semantic VERSION, update CHANGELOG from the diff, commit structured changes, and push a clean, auditable PR.
  • Gating & reviews: Run automated pre-landing reviews, enforce eng-review gates, and stop for human decisions on major version bumps or unresolved conflicts.
  • Use case: From a finished feature branch, run the skill to produce a tested, versioned PR ready for CI and reviewers without manually juggling merges and changelog edits.

Quick Start

Run /ship from your feature branch to merge the base, run tests, bump VERSION, update CHANGELOG, commit, push, and open a pull request.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate merging a base branch and running tests before opening a pull request?▼

Automate merging a base branch and running tests by fetching and merging the base into your feature branch, executing test suites, and surfacing failures or merge conflicts before opening a pull request.

Can I automatically bump semantic versions and update the changelog from git diffs?▼

Yes, you can automatically bump semantic versions and update the changelog by generating changelog entries directly from git diffs, committing structured changes, and pushing a clean, auditable pull request.

What is the best way to handle merge conflicts when landing a feature branch?▼

Handling merge conflicts when landing a feature branch involves fetching the base branch, attempting a merge, and stopping the automated shipping process to wait for human decisions when unresolved conflicts are detected.

Does automated versioning stop for human review on major version bumps?▼

Yes, automated versioning stops for human review on major version bumps by enforcing eng-review gates and pausing the workflow to require human decisions before landing changes.

How do I create a tested and versioned pull request from a feature branch?▼

Create a tested and versioned pull request by running the shipping workflow from your feature branch to merge the base, run tests, bump VERSION, update CHANGELOG, commit, push, and open a pull request.

What happens if test suites fail during automated branch merging?▼

If test suites fail during automated branch merging, the workflow surfaces the test failures and stops the process to prevent broken releases and flaky CI from landing in the default branch.
