How does the auto-merge feature work?

It delegates monitoring to the 'monitor-pr' skill, which runs a background process to check CI status and triggers the merge once all checks pass.

Does this skill work with any git provider?

While it uses standard git commands, PR creation and monitoring currently utilize the GitHub CLI (gh), making it optimized for GitHub repositories.

Can I use this skill if my tests are failing?

By default, the skill requires a passing test suite and successful build before it allows shipping to ensure code quality, though it can be configured for standalone use.

What happens to my feature branch after merging?

The skill performs post-merge cleanup by deleting the local and remote feature branches and pulling the latest changes from the main branch.

Does it support commit message conventions?

Yes, it attempts to infer commit conventions from your project's git log or CLAUDE.md to maintain consistency with your existing codebase.

Deployment & DevOps

Automates the end-to-end process of committing changes, creating pull requests, monitoring CI, and merging code into the main branch.

The Ship skill streamlines the final phase of development by handling the repetitive tasks required to move code from a feature branch to production. It intelligently verifies code readiness by running tests and builds, manages Git staging and commits, creates descriptive pull requests using project templates, and integrates with monitoring skills to oversee CI status and handle automatic merges. By maintaining state across sessions and updating project plan documents, it ensures a consistent and reliable shipping process whether triggered manually or as part of an autonomous workflow.
