SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Ship automates the end-to-end release workflow so you do not forget critical steps like running tests, reviewing the diff, bumping the VERSION, updating the CHANGELOG, and opening the PR.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end merge + ship checklist: Detects the base branch, merges your work branch into it appropriately, then runs tests and performs a diff review to reduce release regressions.
  • Release hygiene: Bumps the VERSION, updates CHANGELOG entries, and prepares clean commits suitable for review.
  • PR creation and push flow: Creates the PR for merging after the workflow completes instead of pushing ad hoc.

Quick Start

Say to Claude: ship your changes by running tests, reviewing the diff, bumping VERSION, updating CHANGELOG, committing, pushing, and creating the PR.
