What it does

Ship Issue is an agent skill from gittower/git-flow-next. Fully solve a small issue end-to-end — resolve, publish the PR, run two Copilot review rounds, address them, and merge when confident. Escalates to the user on anything uncertain.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.4k 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 End-to-end testing. The repository describes itself as: A modern reimplementation of git-flow in Go that offers greater flexibility while maintaining backward compatibility with the original git-flow and git-flow-avh.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve End-to-end testing

Example prompts

  • “/ship-issue”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Task, Bash, Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, mcp__github__get_issue, mcp__github__get_pull_request, mcp__github__get_pull_request_reviews, mcp__github__get_pull_request_comments, mcp__github__add_issue_comment

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Resolve the issue
  2. Publish the PR
  3. Copilot review rounds
  4. Update from base
  5. Merge decision
  6. Close the parent report
  7. Clean up and report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 00d1b4b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Task
    • Bash
    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • mcp__github__get_issue
    • mcp__github__get_pull_request
    • mcp__github__get_pull_request_reviews

    …and 2 more on the same allowed-tools line.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh
    • git
    • go

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh and 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 Issue loads about 3.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,632 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
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.

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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 1,632 words (~3,389 tokens).

“Take a small, well-scoped issue all the way to merged, autonomously. This skill chains the existing pipeline — /resolve-issue to implement, publish, then two rounds of GitHub Copilot code review, addressing each round, and finally merging when the result is…”
