Enforces Law 1 (Research Before Executing), Law 3 (One Thing at a Time), and Law 4 (Verify Before Reporting) of the 7 Laws of AI Agent Discipline. Fix one defect through TDD and one PR, isolate unrelated dirty checkouts in an owner-locked clean worktree, and return only eligible clean checkouts to the detected default branch. Use for urgent hotfixes, bug fixes from a messy checkout, or requests to ship one defect without stashing current 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

Fix one defect, open one PR, and hand it back for review. Use `release-train` for stacked multi-PR rollouts and `proceed-with-the-recommendation` for an arbitrary recommendation list.

Preserve branch protection. Never force-push, auto-merge, or deploy from this skill.

## Request

Treat `$ARGUMENTS` as the defect request when supplied. Otherwise use the single concrete defect from the active conversation. Halt and ask for one narrower defect when the request is empty, ambiguous, or contains more than one concern.

## Workflow

Run these steps in order:

1. **Capture ground truth and resolve the base**: run the read-only `reconcile` probes. Record the initiating checkout's absolute root, branch, HEAD, real tracked drift, staged drift, untracked files, in-progress Git operations, registered worktrees, and task ownership. Ownership requires the current session ID in the authoritative worktree lease or an equivalent active harness task ledger that names this exact checkout; merely starting there is not proof. Set `return_allowed=true` only when the initiating checkout is clean, that ownership proof matches the current session, and no other task reserves it. Without such a…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add naimkatiman/continuous-improvement/ship@sha256:9dab6678bc4d4035

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260814.16dbf41, 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.
