repo-ship SKILL.md skillA
repo-ship from aethrox/doctrine is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add aethrox/doctrine/repo-ship@git:20260809.2a45dbbPins git:20260809.2a45dbb in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Split existing repository work into commits by intent as it happens, or give a new repository its name, visibility, description, and topics at creation. Use the matching path when work is about to be committed or pushed, before a push that would otherwise land as one large commit, or when a new repository is being created.
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
# Repo Ship A commit history and a repository's first impression are both easy to get right at the moment they are made and expensive to fix afterward. This skill's defining constraint, extending Conventional Commits from classifying already-made commits into shaping how they get made in the first place: split by intent as work happens, not by file count after the fact, and treat a new repository's metadata as part of creating it, not a task for later. Write generated commit messages and repository metadata without em dashes, using a comma, colon, period, or a reworded sentence instead. This is a different job from `release-versioning`, which classifies already-made commits into a version bump and changelog entry for a release that is shipping now. This skill governs the commits themselves while work is in progress, and a repository's first creation; `release-versioning` takes over once code already exists and a release is being cut. ## Path A: Commit by intent for existing repository work Use this path when existing work is about to be committed or pushed. ### Phase A1: Split commits by intent, not by file count …

How to install
mdr add aethrox/doctrine/repo-ship@sha256:29d14ffff71579f3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260809.2a45dbb, 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.
