What it does
Coco Ship is an agent skill from coco-research/coco. Use when finished work needs to reach a coco-managed repository (coco-research/coco or similar) — verifies branch state, commits, pushes through the corporate DLP guard only when actually needed, opens a PR against main, waits for CI, and reports the result. Never merges, never pushes to main directly.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: CoCo Super Intelligence is the orchestration layer that turns Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex into an engineering department: a routed advisory board, 226 skills, 386 commands…
When your agent uses it
- Finished work needs to reach a coco-managed repository (coco-research/coco
- Similar) — verifies branch state
- Pushes through the corporate DLP guard only when actually needed
- Opens a PR against main
Example prompts
- “/coco-ship”
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Preflight
- Commit
- Detect whether the guard bypass is actually needed
- Confirm — every time, no exceptions
- Push
- Open the PR
- Wait for CI
- Report
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2ddb559. 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:
gitgh
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use 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
Coco Ship loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 926 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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 926 words (~1,794 tokens).
“Formalizes the branch → commit → guard-aware push → PR → CI-wait → report flow used for shipping work to coco-research/coco (or any repo carrying the same corporate git-guard pre-push hook), so it doesn't have to be re-derived by hand…”
