ship SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

ship from thoughtbot/rails-consultant is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add thoughtbot/rails-consultant/ship@git:20261106.ce8ab68

Pins git:20261106.ce8ab68 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Implement, verify and review a feature based on its SPEC, then open a draft PR.

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

`/slice` gives you a SPEC. This runs the rest of the chain against it:

```
Prepare  --> Implement --> Review --> Verify --> Open
  prep        tdd          5 lenses    real app   draft PR
  refactor                 + fix       + shots    + check
```

Nobody has to be watching. A person can run it, or something in the cloud can,
and either way the draft PR is what you come back to.

Each step runs in a context that never saw the one before it. That's the whole
point — a session that just wrote the code is the worst possible reviewer of it,
and a session that watched the review happen writes a description that defends
the review instead of the change.

## Run it

Hand `assets/workflow.js` to the Workflow tool, with the SPEC path as `args`:

```
Workflow({
  scriptPath: "<this skill's directory>/assets/workflow.js",
  args: { spec: "docs/specs/<the-slug>.md" }
})
```

If `scriptPath` is refused, read the file and pass its contents as `script`
instead. Don't rewrite it inline from memory.

No SPEC path? Ask for one. The script throws without it, and every step after
`Prepare` measures itself against those acceptance criteria — the chain has
nothing to aim at otherwise.
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add thoughtbot/rails-consultant/ship@sha256:aee6eb7e51d8d9b7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.ce8ab68, 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.
