SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Ship workflow automates the end-to-end process of taking code from a prepared state to a PR-ready commit. It orchestrates base-branch detection, test execution, diff review, version bump, CHANGELOG updates, commit, push, and PR creation, ensuring consistent releases and reduced manual toil.

Core Features & Use Cases

End-to-end ship automation: detect the base branch, run tests, review changes, bump VERSION, update CHANGELOG, commit, push, and open a PR.
Proactive guidance: suggests when to ship and ensures changes are ready for review in CI environments.
Reliable hand-off: works across common branching strategies and teams to produce predictable PRs.

Quick Start

Initiate an automated ship flow on the current branch to generate a PR-ready change set.
