What it does

Review And Ship is an agent skill from cursor/plugins, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Review the current branch for bugs, intent fit, and test coverage; run or write tests; commit focused work; open or update a PR.

Its SKILL.md is about 350 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 Testing & QA, covering Test generation and Test coverage. The repository describes itself as: Cursor plugin specification and official plugins.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Test generation
  • Tasks that involve Test coverage

Example prompts

  • “/review-and-ship”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Gather context: diff against base branch, uncommitted changes, recent commits, changed files, and user intent from recent relevant chats…
  2. Run targeted tests for changed behavior. If no focused tests exist, decide whether to add them or document the gap.
  3. Review for correctness, regressions, security, and intent fit. Use parallel subagents for larger diffs.
  4. Fix critical issues before finalizing and re-run affected tests.
  5. Commit selective files with a concise message.
  6. Push branch and open or update a PR.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ccb5507. 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
    • gh

    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

Review And Ship loads about 350 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 160 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~350

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 160 words (~350 tokens).

“Reviewing changes before shipping. Close key issues, verify behavior, and open or update a PR.”
