Close an accepted complete candidate and perform only explicitly authorized publication. Use for "Forge ship", asking Forge to ship an accepted candidate, or a caller-selected Ship phase. Review/Verify PASS alone grants no merge, deployment, release, or publication authority.

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

# Forge Ship

<skill name="forge-ship">
<activation>
Run this phase only when explicitly invoked through Forge, selected by the caller,
or reached by an authorized Forge lifecycle. Ordinary unselected requests do not
activate portable Forge.
Reuse accepted Launch/authority on resume. Stop at this phase's boundary; an
installed machine name is not evidence of native slash-command support.
</activation>
<setup>
Read [authority](../forge-shared/references/authority.md) and
[target harness resolution](../forge-shared/references/target-harness.md), [Launch and gates](../forge-shared/references/workflows.md),
and the target repository's applicable root/nested harness. Adopt
[Engineer](../../agents/engineer/instructions.md) as primary professional guidance.
Engineer or the continuing responsible owner checks current complete-candidate evidence and authorized closure; no mandatory new Ship agent.
</setup>
<workflow>
<step n="1" name="Bind the assignment">
Identify the accepted outcome/source revision, selected workflow/depth/control,
requested boundary, actual candidate/state, allowed writes, required proof, and
material unresolved choices. Show or reuse Launch before dispatch or edits.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add brightstack/forge/forge-ship@sha256:f441e0ebca129dc3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.7e38045, 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.
