type:review

Pinned participatory pipeline — research industry best-practice → write a plan → multi-round dialectic review (loop until it converges) → expand into a tracked project → execute per dev-flow. Each phase ends at a human approval gate. Use when: "research best practice on X then build it properly", "查業界 best practice 寫成 plan、loop review 到沒問題後展開成 project 照 dev-flow 跑", "把這個主題做成正式專案", "spec it out then ship it the rigorous way". Not for: full hands-off autonomy (→ ceo-agent), a quick fix / already-known implementation (→ dev-flow), research with no build (→ survey / deep-research), or a single irreversible decision (→ think-tank-dialectic).

From the source SKILL.md

A pinned chain that fixes the sequence and the human gates; the real work is delegated to existing autopilot skills. It exists because that exact sequence (best-practice research → plan → always a dialectic loop → project → dev-flow) is a recurring ritual worth one command instead of re-typing each time.

What this skill does

Research To Ship is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the research-methods sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/research-to-ship/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when: "research best practice on X then build it properly", "查業界 best practice 寫成 plan、loop review 到沒問題後展開成 project 照 dev-flow 跑", "把這個主題做成正式專案", "spec it out then ship it the rigorous way". Not for: full hands-off autonomy (→ ceo-agent), a quick fix / already-known implementation (→ dev-flow), research with no build (→ survey / deep-research), or a single irreversible decision (→ think-tank-dialectic).
