What it does

Ship Now is an agent skill from BuilderIO/agent-native. Fast-path the current branch through local pnpm prep:urgent, targeted recovery, feedback resolution, whole-branch push, immediate admin merge, and fresh-branch rotation. Use when the user explicitly wants to merge immediately after local prep recovery, then monitor CI, beta publisher, docs, and release workflows. Independent beta behavior checks require an explicit request or an environment-specific risk, as defined in ship-and-monitor. GitHub Actions auto-deploys beta and the docs site through the prebuilt…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Static sites and blogs and CI/CD. It works with GitHub Actions, pnpm and Netlify. The repository describes itself as: A framework for building agentic apps.

When your agent uses it

  • The user explicitly wants to merge immediately after local prep recovery
  • Then monitor CI
  • Release workflows

Example prompts

  • “/ship-now”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Inspect the current branch before writing or moving it
  2. Resolve review state before merging. Read every current human and bot
  3. Run the local gate
  4. Publish the complete current-branch snapshot immediately after the local
  5. Admin-merge immediately when the explicit fast-path gates are true
  6. Monitor the merged PR and release tail after rotation. Check the merged PR's
  7. If a post-merge CI, beta deploy, package-publish, release, or explicitly

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e16da0c. 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:

    • pnpm
    • git
    • gh

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, git and gh, 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 Now loads about 3.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 144 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,869 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~144
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.4k

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 1,869 words (~3,432 tokens).

“Use this only after the user explicitly requests the fast admin-merge path. It is an intentional exception to /ship's remote-CI wait and ten-minute merge soak: local pnpm prep:urgent, or targeted recovery of its failed lanes, is the pre-merge validation gate…”
