Oracle-frozen Builder and independent-Judge convergence cycle. Load ONLY when the operator explicitly sets Governance Dial G2 for the task, or explicitly names this skill or an active work unit already running it. Never auto-activate on task class, such as security, auth, or payments. If a task seems to warrant G2 and the operator has not said so, ask first. Not for ordinary governed implementation, analysis, review-only, or documentation work.

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 or Fix

## Progressive activation and mutual exclusion

Use the smallest production-completion level that fits the task:

- **Level 0, ordinary work:** factual answers, analysis, diagnosis,
  review-only work, formatting, generated refreshes, and non-executable
  documentation use proportional verification only.
- **Level 1, governed completion:** material production code or configuration
  changes use the existing `teamwork` Builder and independent final
  Reviewer path. Do not load or claim `ship-or-fix` at this level.
- **Level 2, Ship or Fix:** load this skill ONLY per the Governance
  Dial in `teamwork`: a direct operator
  instruction setting G2 for the current or named work unit, a direct
  imperative naming this skill for the work unit, or a resumed work unit
  whose durable `governance_level` record is already G2. Task class alone,
  including security, privacy, authentication, authorization, payments,
  destructive operations, irreversible migration, cross-system authority, or
  production publication, NEVER auto-activates this level; those tasks
  default to Level 1 with its integrity floor. If this level seems warranted

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add ezra144israel/governed-agent-skills/ship-or-fix@sha256:24758430a878861a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260917.1684f08, 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.
