At a glance

Take the current ZenUML web-sequence branch from local validation through PR submission, green CI, and merge to master.

  • Works in 4 steps: Validate Locally → Submit PR and babysit CI → Merge → …
  • The user says ship
  • SKILL.md covers Flow, Steps and Rules
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Ship Branch is an agent skill from ZenUml/web-sequence. Take the current ZenUML web-sequence branch from local validation through PR submission, green CI, and merge to master. Use when the user says "ship", "ship it", "ship this branch", "submit and merge", or wants the full branch-to-master workflow. Stops at first failure and does not deploy production.

Its SKILL.md is about 460 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Development, covering Diagrams. The repository describes itself as: Realtime tool for generating sequence diagrams. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says ship
  • Ship this branch
  • Submit and merge
  • Wants the full branch-to-master workflow

Example prompts

  • “ship it”
  • “ship this branch”
  • “submit and merge”
  • “/ship-branch”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Validate Locally
  2. Submit PR and babysit CI
  3. Merge
  4. Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e38bd91. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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 Branch loads about 456 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 146 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~456

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.

description
Take the current ZenUML web-sequence branch from local validation through PR submission, green CI, and merge to master. Use when the user says "ship", "ship it", "ship this branch", "submit and merge", or wants the full branch-to-master workflow. Stops at first failure and does not deploy production.

Ship Branch

Orchestrate the complete branch-to-master path for web-sequence.

Flow

text
validate-branch
  -> submit-branch   # includes mandatory babysit-pr
  -> land-pr

Stop at the first failing step. Do not skip validation unless the user explicitly asks.

Steps

1. Validate Locally

Use validate-branch. If it reports FAIL, stop and fix locally. If it reports PARTIAL, decide whether the blocker is acceptable before proceeding; mention the risk to the user.

2. Submit PR and babysit CI

Use submit-branch (pushes, opens or reuses the PR, then always runs babysit-pr). If babysit reports FAILED or BLOCKED, stop.

3. Merge

Confirm with the user before merging unless they explicitly said "ship it" or "ship this branch". Then use land-pr.

4. Report

On success:

text
Ship Report: <branch>
- Validation: PASS
- PR: #<number> <url>
- CI: GREEN
- Merge: MERGED into master (<sha>)
- Staging: verified by Deploy to Stage
- Production: not deployed; publish a GitHub release when ready

On failure:

text
Ship Report: <branch>
- Stopped at: <validate|submit|ci|merge|post-merge-ci>
- Status: FAIL|PARTIAL|BLOCKED
- Details: ...
- Next step: ...

Rules

  • Never force-push.
  • Never commit unrelated local files.
  • Never merge with red required checks.
  • Never publish a production release as part of this skill.
  • Treat Firebase credential/deploy failures as manual attention unless logs prove a code/config cause.
