What it does

Unship is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Compare AI agent-made UI variants locally in a real app, then keep one and clean up unused temporary code.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/unship”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. Install or reuse Unship
  2. Create temporary variants
  3. Verify comparison readiness
  4. Let the user choose
  5. Clean up after selection

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 680176d. 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:

    • npm
    • npx

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm and npx, 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

Unship loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 695 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~28
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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.

Unship

Overview

Unship is a local workflow for comparing AI-generated UI alternatives in the real application instead of accepting one generated version at a time. It adds temporary source-level variants, shows a local browser picker, and then cleans up the unused options after the user chooses.

This skill is for frontend iteration with coding agents. It is not production A/B testing, analytics, feature flagging, or a hosted experiment service.

When to Use This Skill

  • Use when the user wants to compare multiple UI, layout, copy, state, flow, or design-system alternatives.
  • Use when a coding agent should create several temporary options in real source code and let the user judge them in the running local app.
  • Use when the user chooses a visible option and wants the losing temporary code removed before shipping.

Do Not Use This Skill When

  • The user needs production experiments, traffic splitting, analytics, or feature flags.
  • The app cannot safely render inactive hidden variants because of duplicate active IDs, global scripts, analytics triggers, focus traps, destructive actions, or autoplay side effects.
  • The user has not authorized local source edits.

How It Works

1. Install or reuse Unship

Prefer the project-local binary when it exists:

bash
./node_modules/.bin/unship doctor --json --no-update-check

Otherwise install a reviewed, exact CLI version into the project and then run the local binary:

bash
npm install --save-dev @unship/cli@<reviewed-version>
./node_modules/.bin/unship doctor --json --no-update-check

If setup is needed for the local picker, run:

bash
./node_modules/.bin/unship setup --json

Patch only the smallest development-only mount point required to load the picker in the local preview.

2. Create temporary variants

Inspect the relevant page, component, route, or rendered artifact. Add the smallest source-level comparison that lets the user judge real options in context.

Use Unship markup:

html
<section data-unship-pick="Hero">
  <div data-unship-option="Current">...</div>
  <div data-unship-option="Proof-led" hidden>...</div>
  <div data-unship-option="Visual" hidden>...</div>
</section>

Keep option labels short and visible. Prefer 2-4 meaningful alternatives unless the user asked for a specific count.

3. Verify comparison readiness

Before handing off to the user, check that:

  • the expected data-unship-pick group exists;
  • the expected option labels exist;
  • options are direct children of the group;
  • exactly one option is initially visible;
  • hidden inactive options remain hidden.
4. Let the user choose

Tell the user the group label, option labels, setup status, and any detected local preview server hints. The user chooses by naming a visible option label in chat.

5. Clean up after selection

When the user picks a winner, keep that option's real source and remove losing options for that group. Remove temporary data-unship-* attributes from settled source.

For final cleanup before shipping, remove all Unship artifacts and run:

bash
./node_modules/.bin/unship check --json

Do not claim cleanup is complete until the check reports clean.

Best Practices

  • Keep Unship work local and temporary.
  • Preserve the existing app design language unless the user explicitly asks for a different direction.
  • Avoid unrelated refactors while variants are temporary.
  • Do not put custom tabs, app preferences, or permanent switchers into product UI for Unship comparisons.
  • Keep inactive options safe: avoid duplicate active IDs, submit controls, global scripts, analytics triggers, focus traps, destructive side effects, and stateful providers.

Limitations

  • Unship does not decide which variant wins; the human chooses.
  • Unship does not replace design review, browser QA, accessibility checks, or production release validation.
  • Unship is not intended for production traffic, remote analytics, or persistent product experiments.

Security & Safety Notes

  • Run commands only in a local project the user has authorized you to modify.
  • Do not run npx @unship/cli@latest or any unpinned remote CLI in automated agent workflows. Pin and review the package version first, then execute the project-local binary.
  • Treat generated variants as temporary code that must be cleaned before release.
  • Before destructive cleanup, confirm the selected option label when the user's choice is ambiguous.
  • If a baseline build or typecheck already fails before Unship edits, report that baseline state and keep variant work isolated.

Common Pitfalls

  • Problem: Hidden variants override hidden with CSS. Solution: Preserve [hidden] { display: none !important; } near variant-specific CSS when needed.

  • Problem: The user says "keep the second one" after more changes. Solution: Confirm the exact group and option label before editing source.

  • Problem: The comparison grows into a broad redesign. Solution: Reduce scope to the smallest section, state, or flow that can be judged in the running app.

  • @webapp-testing - Use for browser-based functional checks after frontend changes.
  • @mobile-design - Use when comparing mobile-specific UI patterns and platform constraints.
