What it does
Ship is an agent skill from plugin87/ux-ui-agent-skills. Pre-release gate — run the full gate, responsive + render checks, then produce the release checklist (README badge/current/changelog). Use before tagging a release.
Its SKILL.md is about 530 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 Feature launches and release readiness and Changelog and release notes. The repository describes itself as: Turn Claude into a senior design architect: DTCG tokens, 52 components, WCAG 2.2 AA-AAA, 138 design systems, any-framework code, and 50 objective gates that fail the build… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Feature launches and release readiness
- Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes
Example prompts
- “/ship”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Node.js
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Quality gate (must be fully green before continuing)
- Release checklist (per the project release rule)
- Output a ready-to-review summary: the green N/N line, the proposed version,
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 14f8d44. 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:
npxnodepython3git
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx 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 loads about 532 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 204 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.

Step 0 — is the kit here? This skill reads files from the kit. Check once:
ls ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../tokens >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo KIT_OK || echo KIT_MISSINGOnKIT_MISSINGonly the skill folders were installed, which is whatnpx skills adddoes. Say so plainly, point the user atnpx ux-ui-agent-skills initor the plugin install, and stop. Do not guess the contents of a file you could not open.
Gate first, then prepare the release. Do nothing destructive without explicit confirmation (no tag, no publish) — this command verifies and drafts only.
Quality gate (must be fully green before continuing):
node ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../scripts/accuracy_report.mjs— report the real N/N.node ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../scripts/verify_responsive.mjs examples— no overflow at 280/320/414.python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../scripts/check_no_emoji.py— UI + taste + instruction surface. If anything fails, stop and fix; do not proceed to the checklist.
Release checklist (per the project release rule):
- Update
README.md: version badge, "current" line, and changelog entry. - Confirm the bump level (major/minor/patch) with the user — it is their call.
- Confirm
examples/apple-homestays gitignored (local IP). - List the commits since the last tag so the changelog is accurate.
- Update
Output a ready-to-review summary: the green N/N line, the proposed version, and the drafted changelog entry. Wait for the user to approve before any
git tag/ publish step.
