What it does

Shipwright Pipeline is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Autonomous app builder that converts plain-English descriptions into fully built, tested applications. Use when the user wants to build a new app, scaffold a project, generate a full-stack application, or create an app from a description. Trigger with "build me an app", "create a new app", "shipwright build", "scaffold a project", "generate an application".

Its SKILL.md is about 810 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/examples.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Plain language and style rules. It works with Next.js. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to build a new app
  • Scaffold a project
  • Generate a full-stack application
  • Create an app from a description

Example prompts

  • “build me an app”
  • “create a new app”
  • “shipwright build”
  • “/shipwright-pipeline”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Bash(pip:*), Bash(python:*), Bash(npm:*), Bash(npx:*), Bash(git:*)

Workflow steps

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

  1. Gather the app description from the user. Ask clarifying questions if the description is vague.
  2. Confirm the target stack. If none specified, recommend based on the app type
  3. Run product-agent with the app description and selected stack.
  4. Monitor the 9-phase pipeline: Intake, Architecture, Scaffold, Implement, Test, Integrate, Polish, Validate, Ship.
  5. Report results to the user including test summary and any warnings.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. 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:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Bash(pip:*)
    • Bash(python:*)
    • Bash(npm:*)
    • Bash(npx:*)
    • Bash(git:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pip

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com
    • pypi.org

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Shipwright Pipeline loads about 808 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 261 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~95
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~808
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~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

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.

Shipwright Pipeline

Overview

Shipwright converts a plain-English app description into a fully built, tested, and deployment-ready application. It delegates execution to product-agent, an autonomous 9-phase build engine available on PyPI.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10+ available in PATH.
  • product-agent installed (pip install product-agent).
  • Node.js 18+ for JavaScript/TypeScript stacks.

Supported Stacks

  • Next.js + Supabase — Full-stack with auth, database, and edge functions
  • Next.js + Prisma — Full-stack with type-safe ORM
  • SvelteKit — Lightweight full-stack with Svelte
  • Astro — Content-focused static and hybrid sites

Instructions

  1. Gather the app description from the user. Ask clarifying questions if the description is vague.
  2. Confirm the target stack. If none specified, recommend based on the app type:
    • Data-heavy with auth: Next.js + Supabase
    • API-first with complex models: Next.js + Prisma
    • Lightweight interactive: SvelteKit
    • Content or marketing site: Astro
  3. Run product-agent with the app description and selected stack.
  4. Monitor the 9-phase pipeline: Intake, Architecture, Scaffold, Implement, Test, Integrate, Polish, Validate, Ship.
  5. Report results to the user including test summary and any warnings.

Output

  • A complete, buildable project directory with all source code, tests, and configuration.
  • A test report summarizing pass/fail counts.
  • Build verification output confirming the project compiles and starts.

Error Handling

  • If product-agent is not installed, prompt the user to install it with pip install product-agent.
  • If a phase fails, report the phase name, error message, and suggested fix.
  • If the selected stack is not supported, list available stacks and ask the user to choose.

Examples

Build a SaaS dashboard:

/shipwright-build Build a real-time analytics dashboard with user auth, team workspaces, and Stripe billing. Use Next.js + Supabase.

Add features to an existing project:

/shipwright-enhance Add dark mode toggle, export-to-CSV on all tables, and email notification preferences.

Scaffold a content site:

/shipwright-build Create a developer documentation site with search, versioned docs, and a blog. Use Astro.
