What problem does it solve?

This Skill combats the tendency to over-prepare and delay deployment, encouraging the shipping of functional, albeit imperfect, work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Force Shipping: Immediately commit and move current work to a deliverables folder.
  • Preparation Detection: Analyzes git history and file activity to gauge "theater" or excessive preparation.
  • Use Case: When you find yourself stuck in a loop of minor tweaks and endless organization instead of shipping, this skill provides a forceful push to release your work.

Quick Start

Use the ship_mode skill to force an immediate deployment of your current work.

FAQPage Schema
How do I stop over-preparing code and force a git deployment?

To stop over-preparing code and force a git deployment, you can use a mechanism that detects accumulation patterns in your git history and triggers immediate shipping actions for your current work.

What is preparation theater in software development?

Preparation theater in software development is the loop of minor tweaks and endless organization that delays shipping, which can be detected by analyzing git history and file activity to gauge excessive preparation.

How do I commit and move current work to a deliverables folder?

To commit and move current work to a deliverables folder, you can trigger a force shipping action that immediately commits your functional, albeit imperfect, work to break the preparation loop.

Do I need python3 and git to automate shipping code?

Yes, you need python3 and git to automate shipping code, as they are required for execution and version control integration when detecting accumulation patterns and triggering deployment actions.

When should I not force an imperfect code deployment in agile workflows?

You should not force an imperfect code deployment when minor tweaks are essential for stability, as this approach is designed to combat the fear of shipping by releasing functional work that is actively delaying progress.
