Closes one fix batch — ONE independent audit over the batch's accumulated diff (F-N entries are the claim anchors; the shipping conversation audits directly when it wrote none of the entries, a subagent only when it did), writes the audit into fix.md, and archives that batch dir on pass; on fail the batch stays in place with findings recorded. Gated by check-archive (no batch with entries blocks; archiving a fix dir without shipping blocks).

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.

# $spec-ship

Closes the current fix batch: one independent audit over everything accumulated since the
last ship, then archive. This is the fix tier's ONLY independent verification point — the
counterpart of the full flow's $spec-verify + $spec-archive, collapsed into one command.

## Pre-checks

- At least one open batch with an F-N entry must exist — a dated batch
  `spec/changes/fixes/<YYYY-MM-DD>/fix.md`, or the legacy flat `fixes/fix.md` (the
  check-archive hook blocks the invocation otherwise — there is nothing to audit).
- **Target selection**: the user named a batch date → that batch; otherwise the OLDEST open
  batch (oldest debt first); say which batch this ship run closes in the first line.
- fix.md already `status: shipped` but the dir still present (a previous ship's archive
  move failed) → report it and point to `$spec-archive`, which passes a shipped+Audit
  batch through its fix branch; ship itself audits open batches only.

## Flow

1. **Collect the batch**: read the target batch's fix.md; every F-N entry is in scope — the

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add kamioj/spec-workflow/spec-ship@sha256:eec792a6d0770a2a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.886d28d, 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.
