Auto Ship

Q: What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Auto Ship skill fit in?

A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Auto Ship is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Security category.

Take verified work to shippable — autonomously, with fail-closed gates and a human sign-off on anything irreversible. It runs the pre-launch gate (final validate green, review clean, security/observability/ rollback checks), and a gate that DIDN'T actually run is treated as a blocker, never as clean. Then it prepares the release: atomic commits, a changelog/release notes grounded in the actual changes, version bump, docs for user-visible/API changes — and opens the PR (or stages the rollout: feature flag + rollback path + monitoring). The deploy itself is gated on explicit human approval. It fails closed and never fabricates a green gate to ship. This is the SHIP phase. Composes adversarial-verify (confirm the "ready" claim), checkpoint-resume, and budget-guard.

Is Auto Ship safe to install?

A free static scan against the OWASP Agentic Skills Top 10 found no risk patterns in Auto Ship’s SKILL.md — no data-exfiltration, prompt-injection, or unexpected-execution signatures. The full security scan is below.

Installing & verifying

Installing Auto Ship writes its SKILL.md to ~/.claude/skills/auto-ship/SKILL.md; Claude Code discovers it automatically on the next session — no restart flag needed. It declares no allowed-tools restriction, so it inherits your session’s existing tool access rather than narrowing it. To confirm it loaded, ask Claude to list its available skills — auto-ship should appear by name.

From the source SKILL.md

<EXTREMELY-IMPORTANT> Shipping is where fabricated-clean verdicts and skipped gates do real damage. Non-negotiable: 1. GATES FAIL CLOSED. A configured gate that did not actually run (final validate didn't execute, review was skipped, an audit died) is a BLOCKER, never "clean". "Ready to ship" means every gate ran and passed — not that some were skipped. 2. THE FINAL VALIDATE IS LOAD-BEARING. Run the whole-suite validate on the integrated release state; a red or unrun validate blocks the ship, full stop. "Should pass" is not a pass — run it, read the exit. 3. HUMAN SIGN-OFF ON IRREVERSIBLE…
