What it does

Ship Gate is an agent skill from alirezarezvani/claude-skills. Pre-production audit that scans a codebase for security, database, deployment, code quality, AI/LLM, dependency, frontend, and observability issues. Intercepts deploy commands and blocks until critical items pass. Stack-agnostic. Use for "run ship gate", "am I ready to ship", "pre-launch audit", "can I deploy", "push to production", "go live checklist", "preflight check". Not for CI/CD setup or infra provisioning.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/checks.md`, `references/patterns.md` and `scripts/ship_gate_scanner.py`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Deployment, Code quality and CI/CD. The repository describes itself as: 380 Claude Code skills & agent skills & plugins (30+ Agents, 70+ custom commands, 380+ skills, customizable references, scripts)for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and 8… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Am I ready to ship
Pre-launch audit
Push to production
Go live checklist

Example prompts

“run ship gate”
“am I ready to ship”
“pre-launch audit”
“/ship-gate”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

Detect Stack
Run Automated Checks
Manual Confirmation
Verdict

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 19392f7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Ship Gate loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~11k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 107 tokens; SKILL.md has 468 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~107
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~11k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Ship Gate

Pre-production audit that scans a codebase and reports pass/fail/manual across 8 categories before anything ships.

Intercept Behavior

When the user says "push to production", "deploy", "ship it", "go live", or similar deploy-intent phrases, do NOT proceed with deployment. Instead:

Ask: "Have you run the ship gate? Want me to scan now?"
If yes, run the full audit below.
If the user says they already ran it, ask when. If more than 24 hours ago or if code changed since, recommend re-running.

How It Works

Step 1: Detect Stack

Run these checks in order to identify the project stack:

Framework detection:
  package.json exists        -> Node.js project
    "next" in dependencies   -> Next.js
    "react" in dependencies  -> React (if not Next.js)
    "vue" in dependencies    -> Vue
    "svelte" in dependencies -> Svelte
    "astro" in dependencies  -> Astro
    "express" in dependencies -> Express
    "fastify" in dependencies -> Fastify
    "hono" in dependencies   -> Hono
  requirements.txt or pyproject.toml -> Python project
    "django" present         -> Django
    "flask" present          -> Flask
    "fastapi" present        -> FastAPI
  go.mod exists              -> Go project
  Cargo.toml exists          -> Rust project

Database detection:
  "@supabase/supabase-js" in package.json -> Supabase
  supabase/ directory exists              -> Supabase
  "prisma" in dependencies                -> Prisma (check schema for DB type)
  "mongoose" in dependencies              -> MongoDB
  "pg" or "postgres" in dependencies      -> PostgreSQL
  firebase.json or .firebaserc exists     -> Firebase

Deploy target detection:
  vercel.json or .vercel/ exists          -> Vercel
  netlify.toml exists                     -> Netlify
  Dockerfile exists                       -> Docker/VPS
  fly.toml exists                         -> Fly.io
  railway.json exists                     -> Railway
  .platform/applications.yaml            -> Platform.sh

Auth detection:
  "@clerk" in dependencies                -> Clerk
  "next-auth" in dependencies             -> NextAuth
  "@supabase/auth-helpers" in deps        -> Supabase Auth
  "firebase/auth" in imports              -> Firebase Auth

AI/LLM detection:
  "openai" in dependencies                -> OpenAI
  "@anthropic-ai/sdk" in dependencies     -> Claude API
  "@google/generative-ai" in deps         -> Gemini

Report detected stack before proceeding. This determines which checks are relevant. Checks tagged with a specific stack in references/checks.md are skipped if that stack is not detected.

Step 2: Run Automated Checks

Run categories in this order: SEC, DB, CODE, DEP, AI, DEPLOY, FE, OBS. Security and database first because they produce the most critical findings.

For each category, run every auto-scannable check from references/checks.md using the patterns in references/patterns.md.

Report progress after each category completes:

[1/8] Security: 3 FAIL, 12 PASS, 3 SKIP
[2/8] Database: 1 FAIL, 5 PASS, 6 SKIP
...

Report results as:

PASS: check passed
FAIL: issue found (with file path and line number)
SKIP: not applicable to this stack

Step 3: Manual Confirmation

For checks that cannot be automated (backup restore tested, rollback plan exists, staging test passed), present them as a checklist and ask the user to confirm each one.

Step 4: Verdict

Classify results into three severities:

CRITICAL: must fix before shipping (secrets exposed, no auth on routes, no HTTPS, SQL injection vectors, no RLS on Supabase tables)
HIGH: should fix before shipping (no error boundaries, no rate limiting, console.logs in production, no pagination)
ADVISORY: recommended but not blocking (no OG tags, no custom 404, no analytics, no SBOM)

Final output:

SHIP GATE REPORT
================
Stack: Next.js + Supabase + Vercel
Scan time: 12s

CRITICAL (3 items, must fix)
  FAIL  [SEC-01] API key found in src/lib/api.ts:14
  FAIL  [DB-07] RLS not enabled on "profiles" table
  FAIL  [SEC-05] No CSRF protection on /api/checkout

HIGH (5 items, should fix)
  FAIL  [CODE-01] 12 console.log statements in production code
  FAIL  [CODE-03] Empty catch block in src/utils/auth.ts:45
  FAIL  [DEP-04] 3 critical npm audit vulnerabilities
  FAIL  [DEPLOY-05] No rollback plan documented
  MANUAL [DEPLOY-06] Staging test not confirmed

ADVISORY (4 items, recommended)
  FAIL  [FE-01] Missing OG meta tags
  FAIL  [FE-03] No custom 404 page
  PASS  [OBS-01] Error monitoring configured
  SKIP  [AI-01] No AI/LLM usage detected

VERDICT: DO NOT SHIP (3 critical issues)
Fix critical items and re-run.

If zero critical items remain, verdict is: CLEAR TO SHIP. If only high items remain, verdict is: SHIP WITH CAUTION (acknowledge risks).

Scope

This skill audits. It does not fix. When it finds issues, it reports them with file locations and remediation guidance. The user or another skill (systematic-debugging, backend-patterns, shadcn-stack) handles the fix.

This skill does not:

Set up CI/CD pipelines
Provision infrastructure
Configure monitoring tools
Run after deployment (it is pre-deploy only)

Integration Points

karpathy-coder: run ship-gate after karpathy-check passes — simplicity first, then production readiness
adversarial-reviewer: deep security review for items ship-gate flags as critical
security-pen-testing: penetration testing methodology for SEC-category findings
code-reviewer: general code quality review complements ship-gate's automated checks

Can I use Ship Gate in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add alirezarezvani/claude-skills --skill ship-gate -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/ship-gate, .gemini/skills/ship-gate, .github/skills/ship-gate and .opencode/skills/ship-gate in your project.

What does Ship Gate need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Ship Gate needs Python for the scripts in its folder. Our summary lists: Python 3; Node.js; Docker.

Does Ship Gate access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Ship Gate safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Ship Gate use?
