What kind of code review does the Ship skill perform?

The skill reviews the diff for typos, logic bugs, security risks like hardcoded secrets, and stylistic inconsistencies, and it will fix identified issues directly before proceeding.

Does the Ship skill run tests automatically?

Yes, it automatically identifies and runs relevant local CI commands found in project files like package.json, pyproject.toml, or Makefiles to ensure changes pass before they are committed.

Can I push code directly without a Pull Request?

Yes, using the --no-pr flag allows you to push changes directly to the default branch, bypassing the branch creation and PR steps.

What is the benefit of the --worktree flag?

The --worktree flag creates a new Git worktree in a peer directory, allowing you to work on changes without switching branches in your current directory, which is useful for maintaining multiple contexts.

How does it integrate with Linear?

By passing a Linear issue slug as an argument, the skill automatically uses it to name the branch, prefix the commit message, and title the pull request.

Developer Tools

Automates the end-to-end process of reviewing code changes, creating standardized Git commits, and opening pull requests.

The Ship skill streamlines the software delivery lifecycle by performing a comprehensive review of code changes for bugs and inconsistencies before automating the version control process. It handles branch creation—including support for git worktrees and Linear issue integration—enforces strict commit message standards, runs local CI checks, and generates detailed pull requests using the GitHub CLI, ensuring a high-quality and consistent codebase with minimal manual overhead.

Key Features

01Automated code review for bugs, typos, and security risks before committing.

02Automatic local CI verification via pre-commit hooks, Makefiles, or package scripts.

031 GitHub stars

04Intelligent branch management with support for Linear issue slugs and git worktrees.

05Strict enforcement of Git commit standards including subject length and imperative mood.

06GitHub CLI integration for automated pull request generation with descriptive summaries.

Use Cases

01Ensuring high-quality, peer-ready code by catching errors before they reach the repository.

02Managing complex changes across multiple branches using Git worktrees for a cleaner local environment.

03Rapidly shipping small fixes or features with consistent branch and commit formatting.
