--- name: ship preamble-tier: 4 version: 1.0.0 description: | Ship workflow: detect + merge base branch, run tests, review diff, bump VERSION, update CHANGELOG, commit, push, create PR. Use when asked to "ship", "deploy", "push to main", "create a PR", "merge and push", or "get it deployed". Proactively invoke this skill (do NOT push/PR directly) when the user says code is ready, asks about deploying, wants to push code up, or asks to create a PR. (gstack) allowed-tools: - Bash - Read - Write - Edit - Grep - Glob - Agent - AskUserQuestion - WebSearch sensitive: true triggers: - ship it - create a pr - push to main - deploy this --- {{PREAMBLE}} {{THIRD_PARTY_ACTIONS}} # Ship: Fully Automated Ship Workflow STOP blocks advancement until the stated repair/resume route clears; without one, end this attempt. Answer each AskUserQuestion before continuing. Routine authorization never waives those gates or their required user decisions. **Routine work needs no confirmation:** include uncommitted changes, choose MICRO/PATCH under Step 12, draft CHANGELOG and commits, mark completed TODOs and auto-fix findings. When Step 7 coverage meets its target, report remaining gaps and verify generated tests without another permission question. Step 15 commits those tests. **Route:** integrate (1–3) → test and review (4–11.5) → prepare the release (12–15) → verify frozen content (16) → push and publish (17–21). Every new invocation repeats Steps 1–16, including both reviews and the docs audit. Steps 12, 17 and 19 prevent duplicate bumps, pushes and PRs, never verification. ### Keep state between steps Keep one private Markdown **invocation record** outside the product tree and save its absolute path. Use these headings so a paused run can resume: - **Release:** versions, `BUMP_LEVEL`, reviewed tree and attempt counts. - **Decisions:** each approval's finding, files and authorized action. Reuse it only for that same scope; a repair never resets approvals or expands them. - **Reviews:** handles, original start tokens, terminal states, outputs and queued fixes. - **Checks:** command/label, result/counts, timestamp, log and consumed inputs. - **Documentation:** candidate/id, attempts used, accepted hashes or named blocked exception. - **Next steps:** one ordered work list, with the current step marked. A **receipt** is saved evidence of a check's command, result and consumed content. A review's **start token** is the opaque value returned by `gstack-review-log --start` before it reads the diff. Keep `REVIEW_START` for Step 9, a separate `PASS_START` for each Step 11 attempt, and `DESIGN_START` for design. Finish each pass with its original token; `--finish` stamps the binding fields automatically. Never borrow or replace a token. `gstack-wtree` prints a Git tree hash covering tracked and non-ignored untracked files, not a commit ID. Use `git diff ` to compare these snapshots. ### Ship control flow You, the **parent** running /ship, own advancement; children return evidence, not permission to proceed. Follow the saved work list: 1. Start with Steps 1–21 in order, including 11.5 and 14.5. Advance only after the current item's gates clear. 2. Expand a repair into individual steps and insert them before the still-pending work. This replaces the current item, whose actual result stays in the record. Add its destination only if not already the next pending step. 3. For another repair, repeat rule 2 without discarding pending work. The saved list takes precedence over ordinary next-step sentences inside a repair. A range never adds unlisted steps. **Example:** Step 11 fixes insert `9 → 10 → 11` before 11.5. A further Step 9 fix affecting 6–8 makes the list `5 → 6 → 7 → 8 → 9 → 10 → 11 → 11.5`. The unchanged release steps follow. STOP and AskUserQuestion gates still apply during repairs. Keep the same attempt counts throughout the invocation. A range ending at Step 14 does not enter Step 14.5. A range that includes Step 14.5 enters its existing audit decision, not an unconditional new launch; its initial-plus-ONE limit never resets. Permitted repairs continue in this invocation without restarting /ship. --- {{SECTION_INDEX:ship}} --- {{BASE_BRANCH_DETECT}} `` means the detected branch name for fetch/helper arguments; `origin/` is its remote-tracking ref for comparisons. Step 1 fetches it. {{GBRAIN_CONTEXT_LOAD}} ## Step 0.9: Apple target detection If the ask is App Store/TestFlight distribution, look for an `.xcodeproj`, `.xcworkspace`, or Swift app product. Read `Package.swift` and its entrypoint to distinguish an app from a library/CLI. If unclear, use AskUserQuestion to identify the target and wait before choosing a release path. For a confirmed app, **STOP and Read `~/.claude/skills/gstack/ship/sections/apple-release.md` FIRST**. Store distribution proceeds through that adapter from the current branch, including a clean base branch. The branch gate and repository-landing pipeline below apply ONLY to repository-landing asks, including on Apple repos. ## Step 1: Pre-flight 1. Save the current branch as ``. If on the base branch or the repo's default branch, **abort**: "You're on the base branch. Ship from a feature branch." 2. Run `git status` (never use `-uall`). Uncommitted changes are always included — no need to ask. 3. Run `git fetch origin ` before inspecting the diff. If fetch fails, STOP: report the error and restore access before continuing. Then inspect `git diff origin/ --stat`, untracked files from status, and `git log origin/..HEAD --oneline`. 4. Display historical readiness using the dashboard below, then finish Step 1. Prior CLEAR reviews or dashboard skips never replace Step 9's gates. {{REVIEW_DASHBOARD}} For diffs >200 lines (`git diff origin/ --stat | tail -1`), recommend `/plan-eng-review` or `/autoplan` for architecture review. For Design Review: run `source <(~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-diff-scope 2>/dev/null)`. If `SCOPE_FRONTEND=true` and no design review exists, mention: "Design Review not run — Step 9 includes the lite check; consider /design-review for a full visual audit." Continue to Step 2 without asking; Step 9 applies the review gates. --- ## Step 2: Distribution Pipeline Check Check distribution for new standalone artifacts (CLI binaries, packages, tools), not web services with existing deployment. 1. List candidate distribution paths: ```bash git diff origin/ --diff-filter=A --name-only | grep -E '(^|/)(cmd/[^/]+/main\.go|bin/[^/]+|Cargo\.toml|setup\.py|package\.json)$' | head -5 ``` Also inspect matching untracked files from Step 1's status. Read each match: a new `package.json` or `Cargo.toml` alone does not establish a publishable artifact. Also inspect existing manifests for newly declared binaries or package exports. Apply the pipeline gate only when a new distributable is present. 2. If new artifact detected, check for a release workflow: ```bash ls .github/workflows/ 2>/dev/null | grep -iE 'release|publish|dist' grep -qE 'release|publish|deploy' .gitlab-ci.yml 2>/dev/null && echo "GITLAB_CI_RELEASE" ``` 3. **New artifact without a pipeline:** AskUserQuestion: "Users cannot download this artifact after merge without a release pipeline." - A) Add the platform's release workflow now - B) Defer with a P1 distribution TODO in Step 14 - C) Not needed: internal/web-only, covered by existing deployment 4. **If A:** Add packaging/publish configuration using repository CI conventions. Ask for unknown targets, registries or access first; never invent credentials. Recheck against the artifact and include the workflow in tests and review. Do not publish a release during `/ship`. 5. Otherwise, continue without adding a pipeline. --- ## Step 3: Merge the base branch (BEFORE tests) Merge the base ref fetched in Step 1 so tests and reviews cover the integrated code: ```bash git merge origin/ --no-edit ``` **If there are merge conflicts:** Try to auto-resolve if they are simple (VERSION, schema.rb, CHANGELOG ordering). For complex or ambiguous conflicts, **STOP**, show the conflicting choices, use AskUserQuestion for the needed resolution decision, and wait for the answer before editing or continuing. **If already up to date:** Continue silently. If integration changes the artifact or distribution configuration inspected in Step 2, repeat Step 2 on the merged content, including its decisions, then continue to Step 4. Otherwise continue to Step 4 directly. --- {{SECTION:tests}} {{SECTION:test-coverage}} {{SECTION:plan-completion}} {{SECTION:review-army}} {{SECTION:greptile}} {{SECTION:adversarial}} ## Step 11.5: Bind the reviews 1. **Select the two reviews.** Run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-review-read`. Select this invocation's final Step 9.4 record (`skill:"review"`, `via:"ship"`) and Step 11 native record (`skill:"adversarial-review"`). Match each to its saved handle, original token and source; reject outside-provider or older invocation records. 2. **Compare their content.** Require the native record's `review_binding.state` to be `verified`. All three snapshots must match: its `wtree`, Step 9.4's `review_binding.start_wtree` and `review_binding.end_wtree`. A mismatch or missing record/field blocks release preparation: report **Review records missing or mismatched** and insert `9 → 10 → 11 → 11.5` before Step 12. Bind the new records at 11.5. Never attach new tokens to old work. 3. **Preserve any QA exception.** A named probe-risk exception may leave Step 9.4's root `wtree` absent; item 2 still compares its start/end snapshots. Matching content does not mean the failed or unrun probes passed. Keep Step 9.4's incomplete flags and the user's exception. 4. **Save the evidence.** Save both records and matching **reviewed tree** for Step 16. Continue to Step 12. ## Step 12: Version bump (auto-decide) Item 3 needs `BUMP_LEVEL`: reuse this invocation's saved level. Otherwise FRESH chooses it in item 2 and ALREADY_BUMPED derives it in item 1. 1. **Classify state** — pure reader, never writes: ```bash bun run ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-version-bump classify --base ``` Save the JSON `baseVersion` as `BASE_VERSION`, then read `state` and dispatch: - **FRESH** → use the recorded level or choose it in item 2, then check the queue and write. - **ALREADY_BUMPED** → keep `NEW_VERSION=currentVersion`. If `BUMP_LEVEL` is missing, use the first changed component from `baseVersion` to `currentVersion` (major/minor/patch/micro; an absent fourth component is zero). Continue at item 3, not another automatic bump. - **DRIFT_STALE_PKG** → run `gstack-version-bump repair`, then reclassify. Success follows ALREADY_BUMPED, including its queue check; failure stops. Repair alone never re-bumps. - **DRIFT_UNEXPECTED** → STOP: package.json disagrees with VERSION while VERSION matches base. Reconcile the manual edit, then reclassify. 2. **Decide the bump level** from the diff (agent judgment): - **MICRO**: <50 lines, trivial tweaks/config. **PATCH**: 50+ lines, no feature signals. - **MINOR**: ask for any feature signal (new route/page, migration, module) or 500+ lines. **MAJOR**: ask for milestones or breaking changes. Use AskUserQuestion: recommended level with rationale, smaller level, or cancel. Wait; cancel stops before release writes or push and preserves existing work. Save lowercase `BUMP_LEVEL`. A claimed version may move the next available number forward, but cannot change the chosen MICRO/PATCH/MINOR/MAJOR level. 3. **Queue-aware pick** (workspace-aware ship): ```bash QUEUE_JSON=$(bun run ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-next-version --base --bump "$BUMP_LEVEL" --current-version "$BASE_VERSION" 2>/dev/null || echo '{"offline":true}') CANDIDATE_VERSION=$(echo "$QUEUE_JSON" | jq -r '.version // empty') ``` **Qualify first:** require successful utility output and a nonempty valid version. `offline:false` qualifies; `offline:true` qualifies only with `fallback:"git"`. Offline output without that fallback, failure, malformed output or an empty version is unusable, even if it contains a version-looking string. - **Usable candidate:** print warnings and claimed queue. FRESH sets `NEW_VERSION=CANDIDATE_VERSION`. ALREADY_BUMPED compares it with `currentVersion`: if different, ask to rebump (refresh CHANGELOG/PR title) or keep current (CI rejects a collision). Only approval changes the existing version. Check JSON `active_siblings` by `branch` and `version`; a sibling holding `>= NEW_VERSION` requires a choice: advance past it, or stop this attempt and sync. - **No usable candidate:** print queue-unverified. FRESH uses local `BUMP_LEVEL` arithmetic; ALREADY_BUMPED keeps `currentVersion`. Never use an empty candidate. 4. **Write the bump** (FRESH, or an approved rebump): ```bash bun run ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-version-bump write --version "$NEW_VERSION" --regen-digest ``` The CLI validates `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.MICRO` (or pinned 3-digit semver) and writes VERSION, the manifest and existing `package-lock.json` / `npm-shrinkwrap.json`; it never creates lockfiles. Manifest path: `--package-json-path` → `.gstack/package-json-path` → `./package.json`. npm files use the 3-digit translation (`1.67.0.0` → `1.67.0`); VERSION is authoritative. Exit 3 means a half-write: reclassify and `repair` DRIFT_STALE_PKG. `--regen-digest` runs repo code with Step 5's privileges: `scripts/gen-agents-digest.ts`, only when it and committed `agents-digest/gstack-AGENTS.md` exist. If `agentsDigest` is false, run `bun scripts/gen-agents-digest.ts` and stage the digest with the bump. Before push, verify the committed digest matches generation for the selected VERSION. 5. **Record the release decision after a version was actually written**, including an approved ALREADY_BUMPED rebump. Skip unchanged versions and manifest-only repairs. ```bash ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-decision-log '{"decision":"Ship NEW_VERSION (BUMP_LEVEL)","rationale":"WHY","scope":"repo","source":"skill","confidence":9}' 2>/dev/null || true ``` Substitute `NEW_VERSION`, `BUMP_LEVEL`, and one-line `WHY` (scope or breaking-change signal). Best-effort, non-interactive, non-blocking. {{SECTION:changelog}} ## Step 14: TODOS.md (auto-update) Read `~/.claude/skills/gstack/review/TODOS-format.md`. **1. Open or create:** Read root `TODOS.md`. An explicit "add TODO" choice authorizes creation with `# TODOS` and `## Completed`. Otherwise, if missing, ask: A) Create a component/priority-organized TODOS.md, B) Skip. Skip goes to item 5. **2. Organization:** Use component headings, `**Priority:**` P0–P4 and `## Completed` at the bottom. If disorganized, ask: A) Reorganize preserving all content (recommended), B) Leave as-is. **3. Add approved deferrals:** - Step 2: add the approved distribution follow-up as P1 with the missing pipeline and affected artifact. - Step 8: add each approved P1 plan deferral with `Deferred from plan: {plan file path}` and the missing work. - Step 5: retain P0 test-failure entries already written; deduplicate by failure and source, adding missing approved entries with error output and branch. Never turn dropped scope into TODOs or invent unapproved follow-ups. Reuse matching existing entries rather than duplicating them. **4. Detect completed TODOs:** Compare titles, files and behavior with `git diff origin/`, untracked files and `git log origin/..HEAD --oneline`. Move proven completions to `## Completed` with `**Completed:** vX.Y.Z (YYYY-MM-DD)`; leave uncertain items open. **5. Save the summary:** Report additions, deferrals, completions, remaining count and creation/reorganization. If creation was declined or a write failed, warn and retain unsaved follow-ups in Step 19's PR summary. Never claim they were saved; TODO write failures are non-blocking. --- ## Step 14.5: Documentation audit (every ship) **Doc-sync invariant:** Every ship dispatches the /document-release subagent before final commit/verification/publication, including reruns, already-pushed branches, existing PRs and docs-only changes. No edits means an executed audit, not a skip; report the section's verified outcome. {{SECTION:documentation}} ## Step 15: Commit (bisectable chunks) Make bisectable commits; if already committed, continue to Step 16. Never create an empty commit. 1. Group changes with their tests, config/routes, views and Step 14.5 docs. Migrations may stand alone or accompany their model. Under 50 lines across fewer than 4 files may use one commit. 2. Order dependencies first: infrastructure → models/services → controllers/views. Each commit must work independently, without broken imports or missing code. Group VERSION + CHANGELOG + TODOS.md after the feature commits. 3. Use `: ` (feat/fix/chore/refactor/docs) and a brief body. Only the final VERSION/CHANGELOG commit gets the release version and co-author trailer. Do not create a Git tag: ```bash git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF' chore: bump version and changelog (vX.Y.Z.W) {{CO_AUTHOR_TRAILER}} EOF )" ``` --- ## Step 16: Verification Gate **IRON LAW: NO COMPLETION CLAIMS WITHOUT FRESH VERIFICATION EVIDENCE.** Run stages 1–5 in order. Recovery instructions below name where to resume. If content changes during or after verification, restart at stage 1 and complete all five stages before Step 17. Content-preserving commits keep valid evidence. ### 1. Finish writers and prepare outputs Inspect writer handles, including the docs child. Confirm terminal completion or termination before another writer runs. Timeout or cancellation acknowledgment alone means STOP until confirmed. Find declared generation/build commands in project instructions, manifests, build files and CI. Run them and save results. If none exists, record not applicable and the inspected sources. A missing prerequisite or failed build stops shipping: report **Build failed or prerequisite missing**, with the command, error and needed repair. Never invent a substitute command. **If blocked:** Repair the prerequisite or build, then repeat stage 1. After it passes, continue to stage 2; treat any content repair as a behavioral change there. ### 2. Choose the change route Capture the current tree with `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-wtree`. Inspect `git diff ` against the snapshot saved before Step 12. Missing snapshots block this comparison, regardless of HEAD equality. Classify the comparison in this order: 1. **Behavior, tests or build inputs changed:** Prompts/templates count as behavior. Insert `5–11.5 → 12–14 → 16` before the pending Step 17, then stop this step. This repair excludes Step 14.5 because the rebuild can change generated docs. Step 16 restarts at stage 1: rebuild and compare again before stage 3 decides documentation freshness. Further repairs use the same work list. 2. **Only authored docs or release metadata changed:** Keep Step 8's original child report and counts. Recheck affected plan items using their recorded verification and append current evidence to the invocation record. If a classification is no longer supported, run Step 8's audit and decision gates only, then return to Step 16 stage 1. Never edit the child's counts yourself. 3. **No changes, or the docs-only checks still support the plan:** Continue to stage 3 without a new code review. ### 3. Resolve documentation freshness Compare the base and hashes of the selected release paths, generated outputs and docs/templates with Step 14.5's saved values. A prior invocation's audit or risk decision never qualifies. | Outcome | Action | |---|---| | This invocation's accepted audit matches all inputs | Continue to stage 4. | | User-accepted named documentation risk covers the same approved scope and exact content, and unwaivable gates clear | Continue to stage 4; retain `Documentation: blocked`, its reason and incomplete scope. | | Missing, stale or blocked | Use recovery below. Never silently refresh hashes. | Report changed inputs, blockers and attempts used: - **An attempt remains, with changed inputs or an available repair:** insert `14.5 → 15 → 16` before Step 17. Use Blocked recovery with the existing count. Validate the outcome before Step 15, then restart Step 16 stage 1 to regenerate and compare again. - **Otherwise:** STOP unless the user accepts the specific named documentation risk and all unwaivable gates clear, under Step 14.5's Blocked recovery rules. Unchanged approved content goes to stage 4; repaired content goes to stage 1. Never run a third audit. Child return is not acceptance. ### 4. Verify the frozen candidate Freeze inputs through verification and push. Run declared docs/link/generated-file checks; report unavailable checks. **Reuse a check when its inputs match.** Compare hashes or complete bytes of its saved and current consumed files, fixtures, dependencies and execution parameters. Explain why other changes cannot affect it; changed or unknown dependencies require a rerun. For model judges, compare the complete expanded request, rubric, parameters and builder/runtime dependencies. Reuse identical passing evidence: cite the original command, result/counts, timestamp and log, never resample it. Mandatory reviews still run. **Check each test lane's receipt as well.** Use its actual Step 5 label/command: `--label --expect-cmd ''`. Inspect changes since the run; `--allow-paths` exempts only release metadata. A `package.json` version-only edit can qualify; scripts, dependencies and runtime configuration require live tests. Uncertain edits cannot be exempted. Docs, TODO edits, new/generated tests and fixes make evidence STALE even without a new code review. Use this example only after confirming that every allowed edit is release metadata: ```bash ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-evidence check --label tests --expect-cmd '' --label vitest --expect-cmd '' --max-age 24 --allow-paths CHANGELOG.md,VERSION,package.json,agents-digest/gstack-AGENTS.md ``` | Receipt result | Next action | |---|---| | FRESH (exit 0) | Cite the label, exit, timestamp and log. | | STALE/MISSING: changed content, command or age, or no proven run | Run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-evidence run --label -- ''`, read the result and recheck once. Handle failures as described below. | | Only receipt storage/readback failed | Independently prove unchanged final content, the same command and valid age from the successful run's evidence. Cite its exact command, exit, timestamp and log as **ledger unavailable**, never FRESH. Without that proof, use STALE/MISSING. | No test lanes: require Step 5's explicit untested-scope approval for final content, or run Steps 5–15, including the no-tests decision, then return to Step 16 stage 1. Report the gap, never FRESH; builds must pass. **New, changed or unwaived test failure:** STOP publication. Run Steps 5–15, starting with Step 5's triage, then return to Step 16 stage 1. This recovery also applies if a failure appears while reporting in stage 5. Reentry to Step 14.5 keeps its existing audit count; it does not authorize a third attempt. ### 5. Report, then push Commit only approved, verified release changes left uncommitted after Step 15, including generated outputs; use its grouping rules and never create an empty commit. Preserve unrelated user files. Paste build/docs/test results. Reuse waivers only for the same verified pre-existing failures and approved scope; cite the actual approval and failing counts, never FRESH or all-green. A new, changed or unwaived test failure uses stage 4's recovery before publication. Otherwise continue to Step 17. --- ## Step 17: Push **Credential pre-push guard (#1946) — run before the push:** ```bash _REDACT_PREPUSH=$(~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config get redact_prepush_hook 2>/dev/null || echo "false") _HOOK_PATH=$(git rev-parse --git-path hooks/pre-push 2>/dev/null || echo "") _HOOK_STATE="missing" if [ -e "$_HOOK_PATH" ] || [ -L "$_HOOK_PATH" ]; then _HOOK_STATE="unmanaged" if [ -f "$_HOOK_PATH" ] && [ ! -L "$_HOOK_PATH" ] && grep -Fqx '# gstack-redact pre-push (managed)' "$_HOOK_PATH" 2>/dev/null; then _HOOK_STATE="managed" fi fi _HOOKS_DIR=$(git rev-parse --git-path hooks 2>/dev/null || echo "") _HOOKS_IN_GIT_DIR="no" _HOOKS_CONFIG_STATUS=0 git config --get core.hooksPath >/dev/null 2>&1 || _HOOKS_CONFIG_STATUS=$? if [ -n "$_HOOK_PATH" ] && [ -n "$_HOOKS_DIR" ] && [ "$_HOOKS_CONFIG_STATUS" = "1" ] && [ ! -L "$_HOOKS_DIR" ]; then _HOOKS_IN_GIT_DIR="yes" fi _PREPUSH_PROMPTED=$([ -f "${GSTACK_HOME:-$HOME/.gstack}/.redact-prepush-prompted" ] && echo "yes" || echo "no") if [ "$_REDACT_PREPUSH" = "true" ] && [ "$_HOOKS_IN_GIT_DIR" = "yes" ] && [ "$_HOOK_STATE" != "unmanaged" ]; then ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-redact install-prepush-hook || exit $? fi echo "REDACT_PREPUSH: $_REDACT_PREPUSH" echo "HOOK_STATE: $_HOOK_STATE" echo "HOOKS_IN_GIT_DIR: $_HOOKS_IN_GIT_DIR" echo "PREPUSH_PROMPTED: $_PREPUSH_PROMPTED" ``` Branch on the echoed values: 1. **`REDACT_PREPUSH: true`** — the block installs or refreshes managed hooks, preserving `pre-push.local` and complete stdin. On installer failure, STOP before pushing. `HOOKS_IN_GIT_DIR: no`: do not install; request manual integration. `HOOK_STATE: unmanaged`: ask consent only for a regular, non-symlink hook in the default directory without `pre-push.local`; otherwise request manual integration. Dangling symlinks are unmanaged. Never overwrite either policy. 2. **`REDACT_PREPUSH` not true AND `PREPUSH_PROMPTED: no`** — one-time offer (fires once EVER, machine-wide). AskUserQuestion: > gstack can install a per-repo git pre-push hook that blocks pushes > containing credentials (API keys, tokens, private keys). It's a > guardrail, not enforcement — `GSTACK_REDACT_PREPUSH=skip` bypasses it. > Install it for repos you ship from? Options: - A) Yes — install the credential guard (recommended) - B) No — never ask again If A: run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set redact_prepush_hook true` then re-run the block and apply the same directory and unmanaged-hook rules above. If B: run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set redact_prepush_hook false`. ALWAYS (after either answer, but NOT if the question itself failed to render — a failed AskUserQuestion must re-offer next time): ```bash touch "${GSTACK_HOME:-$HOME/.gstack}/.redact-prepush-prompted" ``` 3. **Declined earlier** — continue without comment. **Idempotency check:** Check if the branch is already pushed and up to date. ```bash LOCAL=$(git rev-parse HEAD) || exit 1 REMOTE_REF=$(git ls-remote --heads origin refs/heads/) || { echo "STATUS: BLOCKED — cannot verify remote branch; restore access before pushing" exit 1 } REMOTE=$(printf '%s\n' "$REMOTE_REF" | awk '{print $1}') REMOTE=${REMOTE:-none} echo "LOCAL: $LOCAL REMOTE: $REMOTE" [ "$LOCAL" = "$REMOTE" ] && echo "ALREADY_PUSHED" || echo "PUSH_NEEDED" ``` If `ALREADY_PUSHED`, skip the push but continue to Step 18. Otherwise push with upstream tracking: ```bash git push -u origin ``` **If the push fails, STOP.** No Step 19 or publication claim. Report the error: - **Non-fast-forward push:** fetch and inspect the remote, then merge under Step 3's conflict rules. Run Steps 5–16 before returning to Step 17. Never rewrite history. - **Authentication, hook or network failure:** repair the cause, then repeat Step 16 even if content is unchanged before returning to Step 17. Never bypass failed guards. Never force-push. Only a successful push or verified `ALREADY_PUSHED` proceeds. Continue to Step 18. No documentation writer runs after push. --- ## Step 18: Prepare publication metadata First look up open PRs/MRs for `` on the detected platform: - GitHub: `gh pr list --head --state open --json number,title,url` - GitLab: `glab mr list --source-branch --output json` (defaults to open). A successful empty array means new; one match supplies the existing title/identity. Lookup failure or ambiguous matches **STOP** for resolution, never mean no PR. Save the result for Step 19's recheck. Prepare the title from that result; Step 19 scans and publishes it: 1. For an existing open PR/MR, use the matched title and run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-pr-title-rewrite.sh "$NEW_VERSION" ""`. 2. For a new PR/MR, compose `v : `. 3. Save the result as `NEW_TITLE` for Step 19. Every created or updated title MUST start with `v$NEW_VERSION `; never publish an unprefixed title. {{SECTION:pr-body}} ## Step 20: Persist ship metrics Log metrics for `/retro` through `gstack-review-log`; it handles project/branch paths, JSON validation, storage and sync. It takes **no path argument**; do not build one. ```bash ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-review-log '{"skill":"ship","timestamp":"'"$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)"'","coverage_pct":COVERAGE_PCT,"plan_items_total":PLAN_TOTAL,"plan_items_done":PLAN_DONE,"verification_result":"VERIFY_RESULT","version":"VERSION","branch":"'"$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)"'"}' ``` Substitute from earlier steps: - **COVERAGE_PCT**: Step 7 diagram's integer percentage; encode null/undetermined as -1 - **PLAN_TOTAL**: total plan items extracted in Step 8 (0 if no plan file) - **PLAN_DONE**: count of DONE + CHANGED items from Step 8 (0 if no plan file) - **VERIFY_RESULT**: "pass", "fail", or "skipped", set after Step 9 executes Step 8.1's verification list - **VERSION**: from the VERSION file The shell supplies the branch. Run this automatically, without confirmation. --- ## Step 21: Plan-tune discoverability nudge (first-successful-ship only) After a successful ship, show the non-blocking /plan-tune nudge once per machine: ```bash eval "$(~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-paths)" export GSTACK_STATE_ROOT _NUDGE_MARKER="$GSTACK_STATE_ROOT/.plan-tune-nudge-shown" _QT=$(~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config get question_tuning 2>/dev/null || echo "false") if [ ! -f "$_NUDGE_MARKER" ] && [ "$_QT" = "false" ]; then echo "" echo "gstack can learn from your AskUserQuestion answers. Run /plan-tune to opt in" echo "— it captures which prompts you find valuable vs noisy and (with hooks installed)" echo "auto-decides your never-ask preferences." mkdir -p "$GSTACK_STATE_ROOT" && touch "$_NUDGE_MARKER" fi ``` The marker or enabled question_tuning suppresses it. To re-enable, remove `$GSTACK_STATE_ROOT/.plan-tune-nudge-shown` before the next ship. --- ## Section self-check (before you finish) List the applicable Section index entries and confirm each Read. If you worked from memory, STOP, Read the section and redo that step. Use `gstack-version-bump`, never hand-roll VERSION/package.json writes. --- ## Important Rules Follow the numbered gates and their explicit exceptions. - **Never force push.** Use regular `git push` only. - **Always use the 4-digit version format** from the VERSION file. - **Step 7 generates coverage tests.** They must pass before committing. Never commit failing tests.
