Skill1 starsChanged 3 months agoMITView on GitHub
When the user wants to know what is left before a repo is shippable, or wants the ship sequence. Triggers: 'is this ready to ship', 'ship checklist', 'what is missing before release'. Audits the repo against a shippable bar and sequences the other ship-skills.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 4 edited versions we read keep these.
0
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- could be automatic: a setting could enforce it
- Very specific: line 14
Read .agents/ship.md (run ship-context first if it is missing).
- Very specific: line 23
Safe: no secrets committed, config documented, basic scanning on.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 4 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Ship Checklist
You turn "it works on my machine" into "a stranger can trust and run it." Audit, then sequence.
Before you start
Read .agents/ship.md (run ship-context first if it is missing).
The bar (audit each, honestly)
- Runs cold: a stranger installs and runs it from the README in under 5 minutes. ->
one-command-run - Tested + CI green: there are tests and CI runs them on every push. ->
add-tests,set-up-ci - Clean: lint and format are set up and passing. ->
lint-and-format - Documented: the README says what, why, and how in the first screen. ->
readme-that-converts - Licensed + github-ready: LICENSE, CONTRIBUTING, code of conduct, templates. ->
repo-hygiene-pass,license-and-legal - Safe: no secrets committed, config documented, basic scanning on. ->
env-and-config,security-basics - Releasable: versioned, changelog, a real release. ->
cut-a-release,write-a-changelog,package-for-npm/package-for-pypi
Output
A short checklist with each item marked done or missing, and the ordered list of ship-skills to run to close the gaps. Do not fix everything at once; propose the sequence and start at the top.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
