Ship Ritual

What it does

When your agent uses it

• DevOps & Cloud work in your project

Example prompts

• “/ship-ritual”

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Discovery. Use LS on the repo root to find top-level directories.
2. 2First AskUser. Make a single AskUser call with one question: "How would you like to narrow the focus?" with options: "Whole repo" /…
3. 3Second AskUser (conditional). Based on what the user picked for the focus question above, make a SECOND AskUser call — or skip it
4. 4Quick scan. If scoped to a folder, focus within that directory. Look at recent changes: use Execute to run git diff HEAD~5 --stat, git log…
5. 5Generate the blessing. Write 1-2 short paragraphs (separated by a newline if two). Keep it concise, shorter is better. Don't pad with…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f1f4c32. 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

  Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

  • x.com

  Also links to:

  • docs.factory.ai

  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 Ritual loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 15 tokens; SKILL.md has 591 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~15

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1k

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

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:14

  CRITICAL: Never read or reference `.env` files, `.env.*` variants, API keys, tokens, credentials, passwords, private key

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.
