shiploop SKILL.md skillB

shiploop from anshss/shiploop is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add anshss/shiploop/shiploop@git:20261003.f1c51cd

Pins git:20261003.f1c51cd in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Self-improving multi-agent harness: wraps N git sub-repos as one workspace, dispatches named tickets to fixed-floor subagents that escalate once on failure, promoting lessons into CLAUDE.md. Use when working in or scaffolding a meta-repo workspace (sub-folders each own .git; root has scripts/ + queue/tickets.md + governor/). Scaffold via /shiploop:setup.

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

# shiploop — self-improving multi-agent harness

## What it is

A workspace root holding N independent git repos as sub-folders — each its own remote, PR queue, CI
— where the root is *also* its own git repo holding config, cross-cutting scripts, the ticket queue,
the governor, and shared AI context. A self-improving multi-agent harness sits on top (worktrees +
tickets + governor + hooks): a worker is a trim, single-ticket session, one per ticket, dispatched
as a `worker` subagent at a fixed model floor and escalated once on a classified failure; every
resolved ticket promotes a durable lesson into the git-tracked `CLAUDE.md`.

Example shape: `your-workspace/{backend,console,website}/` — three sub-folders, each its own git
repo, a script launcher at the root.

**The root uses ONE package manager** — npm/pnpm/yarn/bun (`ROOT_PM` in `scripts/lib/workspace.sh`,
default `npm`). Root `package.json` holds only thin `bash scripts/<x>.sh` aliases, so `npm run dev`
/ `pnpm dev` / `yarn dev` all run the same PM-agnostic bash — `ROOT_PM` only picks the CLI you type
and what `doctor` checks. Each sub-repo keeps its own PM independently. Rule: never mix two PMs at

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add anshss/shiploop/shiploop@sha256:27d7fd979396995d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.f1c51cd, 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.
