Use only for a standalone stack explicitly launched with `relay --workflow stack-ship`; never invoke inside a tech-lead-managed Relay program. Decompose one goal into small PRs, delegate build and monitor work, surface author decisions, and auto-merge only after human approval.

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

# Stack Ship

Drive a design or feature goal from intake to "all PRs merged" with **near-zero steering**. The
orchestrator is a **router, not a worker**: it owns the plan, state, delegation, and author-facing
decisions; subagents own execution and return structured digests.

The [guardrails](references/guardrails.md) are non-negotiable — **read them before acting.**

> Throughout this skill `master` denotes the repository's **default branch**; substitute the real
> default (`main`, etc.). Auto-merge is armed only on a default-branch-based PR — which, in a stack, is
> exactly the front PR.

## The one-paragraph model

You (orchestrator) turn a goal into an **acceptance-criteria list** and a **stacked PR plan**
(`api → utils → stitch`, smallest single-intent PRs). You spawn a **`deliver-pr` sub-agent** per PR to
run the full single-PR pipeline and open the PR. You drive whichever PR currently sits on `master` (the
front of the stack) to merged by pointing the **`relay pr watch`** runtime at it with yourself as the
owner and running **`pr-monitor`** once for each digest it wakes you with, and you add only the
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ronaknnathani/relay/stack-ship@sha256:e6106595c2a29258

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260902.6e57c00, 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.
