What it does
Ship Work is an agent skill from Apocrathia/home-assistant-config. Hand off completed Home Assistant Homelab work to the operator: summarize diffs, suggest a Conventional Commit, list validation done, and remind them to apply/reload HA and commit. Does not commit or push.
Its SKILL.md is about 560 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Development, covering Commit messages. It works with Home Assistant and Git. The repository describes itself as: Apocrathia's Home Assistant Configuration Files.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Commit messages
Example prompts
- “/ship-work”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Apply / reload Home Assistant as needed for the change surface.
- Validate against the live instance.
- Commit (and push) when satisfied — operator owns git.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e28308a. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
git
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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 Work loads about 560 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 167 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 167 words (~560 tokens).
“Handoff to operator — not commit/push/PR. Read and summarize the main checkout only.”
