What it does
Ship
Commit, push, and optionally create or update a PR for the current staged changes.
Step 1: Determine Intent
Detect the repository's default branch via gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef --jq '.defaultBranchRef.name'. Check the current branch name and whether a PR already exists for it using gh pr view.
Use AskUserQuestion to ask the user how to proceed. Present the options based on the current state:
- On a feature branch with an existing PR — commit, push, and update the PR; or commit and push
- On a feature branch without a PR — commit, push, and create a PR; or commit and push
- On the default branch — create a feature branch, commit, push, and create a PR; or commit and push
- Abort — leave changes staged, do not commit
Step 2: Branch (if Needed)
If the user wants a PR and the current branch is the default branch:
- Suggest a branch name based on the changes and use
AskUserQuestionto confirm or adjust - Create and switch to the new branch:
git checkout -b <branch-name>
Step 3: Check for Unstaged Changes
Run git status to check for unstaged changes. If any exist, stage them. This catches files modified by auto-formatters that were not re-staged.
Step 4: Run /commit-staged-push Skill
Run the /commit-staged-push skill.
If the commit fails due to a pre-commit hook (formatter, linter), fix the issues — or run the project's format/lint script to auto-fix — then re-stage all modified files before retrying. Pre-commit hooks may modify files in the working tree without updating the staging area.
Step 5: Create or Update PR (if Requested)
- Create PR — run the
/create-prskill - Update PR — run the
/update-prskill
Then use the TaskList tool and proceed to any remaining task.
Rules
- Never stage or commit files containing secrets (
.env, credentials, API keys). Warn if detected.
