SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Ship timely, well-structured commits by guiding you through a standardized workflow that ends with a PR and cleanup guidance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end git workflow: Enforces not committing to main, extracts issue numbers from branches, runs build and tests, and gathers changes for a clean commit.
  • Deterministic PR creation: Drafts conventional commit messages and pushes to a feature branch, ready for review.
  • Safe, guided shipping: Includes pre-conditions and step-by-step workflow with fail-fast reports to prevent unsafe releases.

Quick Start

Run the /ship-it command on your current branch to commit changes and create a PR.

To prevent committing directly to main when shipping code, use a guided workflow that enforces pre-conditions and fail-fast reports, ensuring changes are only committed to feature branches before pushing.

Can I auto-generate conventional commit messages for feature branches?

Yes, you can auto-generate conventional commit messages for feature branches by using a deterministic workflow that gathers changes and drafts structured messages during the push and PR creation process.

How do I extract issue numbers from git branches for PR review?

Does automated code shipping run safety checks before pushing to remote?

What are the limitations of automating end-to-end git workflows?

Limitations of automating end-to-end git workflows include strict adherence to standardized branch structures and frontmatter requirements, meaning non-conventional branch naming may fail pre-condition safety checks.
