Ship a feature branch end-to-end: merge target → test → review → version/changelog → commit → push → PR with before/after evidence for UI → drive CI green and hand off the PR. Use after `vd:cook` when the branch is implemented and tested, ready to land on main/master (official), staging/uat (staging), or dev/beta (beta). Merge is opt-in - a bare ship stops at a green PR; it merges only with --auto or --merge. Stops on test failures, critical review issues, or major version bumps.

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

Ship **prepares** a branch to land: merge target, test, review, version, PR, then drives CI to green and clears review comments - and by default **hands the PR back to you unmerged**. It does not implement features or redesign on the fly; failures kick back to `vd:cook`.

Repository deployment policy and an explicitly named source/target branch take precedence over mode inference and branch renaming. Promoting one fix is not a release cadence: inspect its target diff before selecting the PR head; never substitute an aggregate release branch just because it already contains the fix.

## Arguments

| Flag | Effect |
|------|--------|
| `official` | Target default branch (main/master). Full pipeline incl. docs + journal |
| `staging` | Target staging/uat/release branch. Skip journal + docs |
| `beta` | Target dev/development/beta branch. Skip docs update |
| `--release` | Cut a GitHub release at the end. Tag style follows mode (stable for official, rc/beta prerelease otherwise). Auto-release tool detected (`goreleaser`, `release-please`, `semantic-release`, `changesets`) → Step 14 skips the manual tag and lets CI cut it |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vanducng/skills/ship@sha256:9c1c50d63c8639d8

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.5.1, 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.
