SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually shipping code requires repetitive, error-prone steps: merging the latest base branch, running tests, updating version numbers, editing changelogs, writing commit messages, pushing changes, and opening pull requests. This Skill automates the entire workflow to eliminate human error and speed up releases.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Full Automated Shipping Pipeline: Handles base branch merging, test execution, diff review, VERSION bumping, CHANGELOG updates, commit creation, push, and PR opening in one flow.
  • Proactive Invocation: Automatically triggers when you mention shipping, deploying, or creating a PR, no need to manually call the skill.
  • Safety Guardrails: Blocks shipping on the base branch, handles merge conflicts, triages pre-existing test failures, and enforces review requirements before merging. Use Case: A developer who just finished a feature on a branch can simply say "ship this" and the skill handles all release steps, including generating a changelog from the diff and opening a PR with all changes.

Quick Start

Tell the AI "ship this feature" after finishing code changes to automatically run tests, update the changelog, and open a pull request.
