ship-safe

ship-safe

Composite skill that enforces quality gates before shipping. Chains self-evaluation, code review, and ship into a gated pipeline where each step must pass before the next begins.

Chain Overview

self-eval -> review -> ship
    |           |        |
    v           v        v
 EVAL.md    REVIEW.md   PR created
    |           |
    v           v
 >= 8.0?    No CRITICAL?
 (gate)      (gate)

Inputs

Parameter	Values	Default	Description
branch	branch name	current branch	Branch to ship
version_bump	patch, minor, major, auto	auto	Version increment

Step 1: Self-Evaluation

Invokes: /self-eval diff

What it does:

• Evaluates all staged and unstaged changes in the current branch
• Scores across 7 dimensions: quality, necessity, correctness, dependencies, completeness, learning, honesty
• Computes overall score as weighted average

Produces: .productionos/SHIP-EVAL.md

Quality Gate:

Score	Action
>= 8.0	PASS. Proceed to Step 2.
6.0 - 7.9	SELF-HEAL. Run up to 3 remediation loops targeting lowest-scoring dimensions. Re-evaluate after each loop. If still < 8.0 after 3 loops, BLOCK.
< 6.0	BLOCK. Do not proceed. Report the failing dimensions and specific issues.

When blocked:

STATUS: BLOCKED
REASON: Self-eval score {X}/10 below shipping threshold (8.0)
FAILING DIMENSIONS:
  - {dimension}: {score}/10 -- {specific issue}
RECOMMENDATION: Fix the listed issues, then re-run /ship-safe

---

Step 2: Code Review

Invokes: /review

What it does:

• Full diff review: logic errors, security issues, performance regressions, style violations
• Checks for: missing tests, broken imports, hardcoded values, debug artifacts
• SQL safety check on any database-touching changes
• LLM trust boundary check on any AI-related changes
• Dependency audit on any new packages

Produces: .productionos/SHIP-REVIEW.md

Quality Gate:

Finding	Action
CRITICAL issues found	BLOCK. Do not ship. Report CRITICAL issues with file:line evidence.
HIGH issues found	WARN. Print warning, proceed with user acknowledgment prompt.
MEDIUM/LOW only	PASS. Proceed to Step 3.
No issues	PASS. Proceed to Step 3.

When blocked:

STATUS: BLOCKED
REASON: Code review found {N} CRITICAL issues
CRITICAL ISSUES:
  1. {file}:{line} -- {description}
RECOMMENDATION: Fix CRITICAL issues before shipping

---

Step 3: Ship

Invokes: /ship

What it does:

• Resolves base branch (main/master/develop)
• Syncs with base (fetch + merge, stop on conflicts)
• Runs validation gate (tests, type checks, lint)
• Updates release metadata (VERSION, CHANGELOG)
• Commits, pushes, creates or updates PR

Produces: PR URL + .productionos/SHIP-RESULT.md

Pre-ship checklist (automated):

• Self-eval score >= 8.0
• No CRITICAL review findings
• Tests pass
• Type checks pass
• No merge conflicts with base
• VERSION bumped
• CHANGELOG updated

Output Format

Final composite report written to .productionos/SHIP-SAFE.md:

# Ship-Safe Report

## Result: SHIPPED | BLOCKED
- **Self-Eval Score:** X/10 (PASS/FAIL)
- **Review:** X issues (Y critical, Z high)
- **Ship Status:** PR #{number} created | BLOCKED at step {N}

## Gate Results
| Gate | Score/Result | Status |
|------|-------------|--------|
| Self-Eval | X/10 | PASS/FAIL |
| Code Review | N issues | PASS/WARN/FAIL |
| Tests | X passed | PASS/FAIL |
| Ship | PR #{N} | DONE/BLOCKED |

## Issues (if any)
{list of issues that blocked or warned}

## PR Details (if shipped)
- **URL:** {pr_url}
- **Branch:** {branch} -> {base}
- **Version:** {old} -> {new}

Ship completed: {timestamp}

When to Use

• "Ship this" -- runs full gated pipeline
• "Create a PR" -- runs full gated pipeline
• "Push to main" -- runs full gated pipeline
• "Deploy this branch" -- runs full gated pipeline
• "Merge my changes" -- runs full gated pipeline

When NOT to Use

• Just reviewing without shipping -- use /review directly
• Just evaluating quality -- use /self-eval directly
• Deploying to a specific environment -- use infrastructure-specific tools
