Shipkit Review Planning
Internal reviewer — assesses planning artifact alignment. Checks definitions agree, specs cover roadmap, no gaps. A per-unit reviewer invoked by a caller (the engine in steered mode or a direction/planning caller), not for direct use.
Shipkit Semantic Qa
Semantic QA — define inputs/criteria, generate test scripts, Claude judges outputs or screenshots against criteria. Triggers: 'semantic qa', 'quality check', 'visual qa', 'judge outputs', 'QA suite'.

Shipkit User Instructions
Use when there are manual tasks the user must complete. Triggers: 'create task', 'track TODO', 'user needs to', 'manual step required'.

Shipkit Stage
Define project stage, scope constraints, and graduation criteria. Set mode configures the stage; evaluate mode assesses readiness for human approval.
Shipkit Resource Advocate
Infrastructure skill — a single-resource advocate in the thinking-partner adversarial debate. Dispatched (not user-invoked) by shipkit-thinking-partner's adversarial mode, once per advocate per round.
Shipkit Update
Install or update Shipkit via npx. Detects existing installations, archives them safely, and intelligently merges user content with new version.
Shipkit Product Discovery
Use when defining users, personas, or user journeys. Triggers: 'who are users', 'create personas', 'user research', 'user stories'.
Shipkit Metrics
Capture current metric values for goal evaluation. Triggers: 'log metrics', 'update metrics', 'record measurements'.
Shipkit Plan
Use when a spec exists and user wants implementation steps. Triggers: 'how to implement', 'create plan', 'plan this', 'what are the steps'.
Shipkit Why Project
Use when defining project vision and strategic direction. Triggers: 'why this project', 'define vision', 'project goals', 'what are we building'.
Shipkit Qa Visual
Visual QA using Playwright as a browser automation library. --setup installs Playwright and creates ui-goals.json; default mode writes inline scripts to navigate, screenshot, and report against goals.
Shipkit Spec
Use when user describes a feature to build. Triggers: 'spec this', 'create specification', 'define requirements', 'I want to build'.
Shipkit Direction
Define a project's WHY/WHAT foundation autonomously — the DIRECTION entry point. Drives the definitional steps to a coherent bar via the engine (autonomous-propose): grounds every field in a cited signal, asks only the few high-leverage decisions. Triggers: 'start a project', 'define direction', 'kick off', 'set up the vision', 'direction'.
Shipkit Engineering Definition
Define the technical approach — mechanisms, design decisions, stack direction, and component structure. Triggers: 'engineering approach', 'how to build this', 'technical design', 'mechanisms'.
Shipkit Product Definition
Define what to build — features, UX patterns, and differentiators that solve discovered user needs. Triggers: 'product definition', 'what to build', 'features', 'solution design'.
Shipkit Product Goals
Derive measurable user-outcome criteria from the product blueprint. Writes goals/product.json (completion rates, UX quality, satisfaction). Evaluate mode compares actuals to targets.
Shipkit Project Context
Use when starting a new project or refreshing tech stack context. Triggers: 'scan project', 'what's my stack', 'refresh context', 'generate stack'.
Shipkit Communications
Use when user wants to visualize or present shipkit content as HTML. Triggers: 'create presentation', 'visualize this', 'HTML report'.
Shipkit Engineering Goals
Derive technical performance criteria from the engineering blueprint. Writes goals/engineering.json with response times, reliability, coverage thresholds. Evaluate mode checks actuals against targets.
Shipkit Spec Roadmap
Prioritize which specs to write first from product + engineering definitions. Triggers: 'spec roadmap', 'what to spec first', 'prioritize features', 'spec backlog'.
Shipkit Prompt Audit
Audit LLM prompt pipeline architecture — decomposition, parallelization, chain integrity, schema validation, fallback paths. Finds structural issues no linter catches.
Shipkit Ux Audit
Use when auditing implemented UI for missing UX patterns. Triggers: 'audit UX', 'check UX', 'missing patterns', 'UX gaps'.
Shipkit Work Memory
Log session progress and save resume state. Infers from conversation and git. Triggers: 'log progress', 'session summary', 'checkpoint', 'save progress', 'end session'.
Shipkit Scale Ready
Audits production systems for scale readiness — observability, performance, reliability, and operational maturity. For teams with traction preparing to grow.
Shipkit Review Direction
Internal reviewer — assesses strategic artifact coherence. Checks vision/why alignment, goal completeness, stage realism. The Direction coherence-review gate, dispatched by the engine (via shipkit-direction), not for direct use.
Shipkit Codebase Index
Generate project index for faster codebase navigation. Triggers: 'index codebase', 'create index', 'map project'.
Shipkit Design System
Scaffold a tiered design system — principles, tokens, aesthetic direction from project context. Triggers: 'design system', 'design tokens', 'brand guidelines', 'visual direction', 'design principles'.
Shipkit Test Cases
Generate and maintain code-anchored test case specifications. Use when setting up test coverage, reviewing what to test, or before team implementation.
Shipkit Get Mcps
Discover and install MCP servers for enhanced Claude capabilities
Shipkit Review Shipping
Review changes across 12 quality dimensions and report findings. Use after a chunk of work or before commit.
Shipkit Claude Md
Update CLAUDE.md with learnings, preferences, or project context. Use when user says "update claude.md", "add to claude.md", or wants to persist something.
Shipkit Ship
Build a spec'd + planned feature to done — the BUILD entry point. Drives the plan to a ground-truth bar via the orchestration engine (autonomous). Triggers: 'ship it', 'ship this', 'build this', 'run the build', 'build the plan'.
Shipkit Codebase Audit
Audit a codebase for dead code, orphaned modules, unused dependencies, and unwired seams. Quick tier runs knip-class checks ephemerally (no repo mutation); deep and exhaustive tiers add intent↔code reconciliation. Portable to any repo, including ones with no tooling installed.
Shipkit Orchestrate
Core automation engine. Drives a set of steps to a confirmed ground-truth bar via a main-session delegate → reconcile → re-dispatch loop. Phase skills (build, review, direction) call it; can also run directly. Two modes: autonomous (run to done unattended) and steered (coordinate, surface to user). Triggers: invoked by a phase skill, 'orchestrate', 'drive to done', 'run this to done', 'coordinate…
