Run a lightweight activation GO or NO-GO gate only when verified work is about to gain material real-world side effects, autonomy, permissions, or production/shared-state impact.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Ship Mini ## Purpose Decide whether verified work is safe and authorized to activate in a real operating environment. `verify-contract` owns correctness and evidence. `ship-mini` does not re-verify the implementation; it owns the additional operational question: should this verified thing be allowed to act on the world now? ## When to use Use after verification when activation introduces one or more material operational risks: - production or shared-state writes - scheduled, autonomous, or unattended execution - sending, publishing, triggering jobs, or other external side effects - new or expanded tool permissions - secrets, credentials, PII, or sensitive-data access - destructive or difficult-to-reverse actions - a required human approval boundary - a meaningful rollback, audit, or owner-notification requirement Skip `ship-mini` for ordinary local or interactive changes whose effects remain reviewable and reversible. A user-facing change, shared report, dashboard update, model result, or successful `verify-contract` does not require `ship-mini` merely because it may be released or seen by others. Do not create `SHIP.md` when no material activation risk exists. …

How to install
mdr add tmusser/ai-engineering-skills/ship-mini@sha256:2d9d1fada12f3968The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.a4c4424, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
