GitHubShip
Finish the work on "$ARGUMENTS". Verify tests pass, then choose how to ship: merge locally, create a PR, keep the branch, or discard.
Prerequisites
Stack. Before you build, test, lint, run or generate code, read the Stack section of the project's AGENTS.md, or of CLAUDE.md when AGENTS.md has none. Use its commands exactly as written, its layout for where files go and its rules as requirements. If it names a profile, also read the file <profile>.md in the stacks folder of this skill's bundled references for the full commands, layout and rules; the project's own keys win where both speak. If there is no Stack section, run the singular-detect skill, state what you inferred in one line, and offer to write the section with singular-init. Never assume a package manager, test runner or formatter the project did not declare.
None — this is a utility skill that runs when development is complete.
Process
Verify readiness:
- Run the project's full test suite
- All tests must pass — if any fail, stop and report
- Check for uncommitted changes — commit or stash first
Present shipping options to the user:
Option 1: Merge locally
- Merge the branch into main/master
- Delete the feature branch
- Push to remote
Option 2: Push and create PR
- Push the branch to remote
- Create a pull request with summary and test plan
- Keep the branch for review
Option 3: Keep as-is
- Don't merge or push — keep the branch for more work later
Option 4: Discard
- Delete the branch and all changes
- Requires explicit confirmation from the user
Execute the chosen option:
- Follow the steps for the selected option
- Report the result (PR URL, merge commit, etc.)
