At a glance

Close out verified harness work only when the user explicitly asks to commit, push, open a PR, merge, or clean merged worktrees.

  • Explicitly asks to commit
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Clean merged worktrees

What it does

Repo Harness Ship is an agent skill from Ancienttwo/repo-harness. Close out verified harness work only when the user explicitly asks to commit, push, open a PR, merge, or clean merged worktrees.

Its SKILL.md is about 250 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/worker.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Git worktrees and Pull requests. The repository describes itself as: File-backed workflow harness for reliable Claude Code and Codex sessions. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Explicitly asks to commit
  • Clean merged worktrees

Example prompts

  • “/repo-harness-ship”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad7b579. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Repo Harness Ship loads about 251 tokens when it runs, and up to ~528 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 97 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~251
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~528

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

repo-harness-ship

Bot entrypoint. Confirm the exact publication and cleanup authorization. Assign Git/PR steps through references/worker.md. Consume the recorded checks, revision and independent review when risk requires it. Preserve unrelated work.

Main publication, deletion, credentials/permissions and release/production have separate boundaries. Merge only when this task authorizes main publication, automated checks pass and GitHub has no change request or unresolved review thread. An explicit no-merge instruction wins. Record the squash commit, its revert command and the daily report after authorized publication. Auto-delete only merged, clean worktrees/branches. Ask for other deletion. Return PR URL, head SHA, verification, risk and rollback.
