> **Host: Codex CLI** — This skill was designed for Claude Code and adapted for Codex. > Cross-reference commands use installed skill names in Codex rather than `/octo:*` slash commands. > Use the active Codex shell and subagent tools. Do not claim a provider, model, or host subagent is available until the current session exposes it. > For host tool equivalents, see `skills/blocks/codex-host-adapter.md`.

Ship Project - Multi-AI Delivery Validation

Finalize and deliver completed work with Multi-AI security audit, lessons capture, and archival.

**Core principle:** Verify ready -> Multi-AI audit -> Capture lessons -> Archive -> Ship.

When to Use

**Use this skill when user asks:**

  • "Ship the project" or "We're done"
  • "Finalize this" or "Let's deliver"
  • "Complete the project" or "Ready to ship"
  • "Mark as shipped" or "Time to deliver"

**Do NOT use for:**

  • Code review (use /octo:review or flow-deliver)
  • Implementation (use /octo:develop)
  • Research (use /octo:research)

The Process

Phase 1: Verify Project Ready to Ship

Step 1: Check .octo/ Exists

if [[ ! -d ".octo" ]]; then
    echo "No project initialized"
    exit 1
fi

**If .octo/ does not exist:**

## Cannot Ship

**Status:** No project initialized

No Claude Octopus project found in this directory.

Run `/octo:embrace [description]` to start a new project.

**STOP. Do not proceed.**

Step 2: Read STATE.md Status

# Check if STATE.md exists and read status
if [[ -f ".octo/STATE.md" ]]; then
    # Read current status
    STATUS=$(grep -E "^status:" .octo/STATE.md | cut -d':' -f2 | xargs || echo "unknown")
    CURRENT_PHASE=$(grep -E "^current_phase:" .octo/STATE.md | cut -d':' -f2 | xargs || echo "unknown")
else
    STATUS="unknown"
    CURRENT_PHASE="unknown"
fi

echo "Status: $STATUS"
echo "Current Phase: $CURRENT_PHASE"

Step 3: Validate Ready State

**Ship is allowed when:**

  • `status` = "complete" OR
  • `current_phase` = "4" (Deliver phase) OR
  • All four phases have entries in STATE.md history

**If not ready:**

## Project Not Ready to Ship

**Current Status:** {status}
**Current Phase:** {current_phase}

### To prepare for shipping:

1. Complete remaining phases:
   - [ ] Phase 1: Discover - Use `/octo:discover`
   - [ ] Phase 2: Define - Use `/octo:define`
   - [ ] Phase 3: Develop - Use `/octo:develop`
   - [ ] Phase 4: Deliver - Use `/octo:deliver`

2. Or override with: "ship anyway" (not recommended)

**STOP unless user says "ship anyway".**

Phase 2: Multi-AI Security Audit

Step 1: Display Visual Indicators

# Check provider availability
command -v codex &> /dev/null && codex_status="Available" || codex_status="Not installed"
command -v agy &> /dev/null && agy_status="Available" || agy_status="Not installed"

**Output:**

## Multi-AI Security Audit

**Providers:**
- Codex CLI: ${codex_status} - Code security analysis
- Antigravity CLI: ${agy_status} - Additional external-model challenge
- Claude: Available - Synthesis and final validation

**Estimated Time:** 3-5 minutes
**Estimated Cost:** 0.02-0.08 USD

Step 2: Execute orchestrate.sh Security Audit

**You MUST execute this via native shell command tool:**

Use the installation that loaded this skill for both execution and validation. If `CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT` is absent, replace the `OCTO_ROOT` fallback below with the absolute plugin root derived from this loaded skill's path. Do not infer it from the project directory or an existing stable link. The root helper refreshes installed copies while preserving another session's working root when called from an inferred development checkout.

# Run Multi-AI security audit for delivery
OCTO_ROOT="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-${CODEX_PLUGIN_ROOT:-${HOME}/.claude-octopus/plugin}}"
bash "$OCTO_ROOT/scripts/helpers/ensure-plugin-root.sh" || exit 1
RUN_MARKER=$(mktemp) || exit 1
RUN_STATUS=0
OCTOPUS_WORKFLOW_INVOCATION_ID="${RUN_MARKER##*/}" "$OCTO_ROOT/scripts/orchestrate.sh" ink "Security audit for delivery - comprehensive review of all code changes for production readiness" || RUN_STATUS=$?
REPORT_STATUS=0
VALIDATION_FILE=$("$OCTO_ROOT/scripts/helpers/workflow-result.sh" ink "$RUN_MARKER" "$RUN_STATUS") || REPORT_STATUS=$?
rm -f "$RUN_MARKER"
[[ "$REPORT_STATUS" == 0 ]] || exit "$REPORT_STATUS"
echo "AUDIT COMPLETE: $VALIDATION_FILE"

MANDATORY COMPLIANCE

**CRITICAL: You are PROHIBITED from:**

  • Skipping Multi-AI validation
  • Doing single-provider analysis instead
  • Claiming you're "simulating" the audit
  • Proceeding without running orchestrate.sh

Step 3: Verify Audit Completed

Step 2 must exit successfully and validate a fresh `delivery-*.md` report whose launcher status is `COMPLETE`. A report from a previous deliver run, a partial report, or a failed command cannot pass this audit. Use the exact validated path printed by Step 2 for the summary.

Step 4: Display Audit Summary

Read validation file and present:

  • Overall status (PASSED / PASSED WITH WARNINGS / FAILED)
  • Quality score
  • Critical issues (must fix before ship)
  • Warnings (should fix)

**If FAILED with critical issues:**

## Audit Failed - Cannot Ship

Critical issues must be resolved before shipping:

1. [Issue 1 from validation]
2. [Issue 2 from validation]

Resolve issues and run `/octo:ship` again.

**STOP if critical issues found.**

Phase 3: Capture Lessons Learned

Step 1: Ask User for Lessons

## Lessons Learned

Before finalizing, let's capture what we learned from this project.

**Please answer the following:**

1. **What went well?** (What worked better than expected?)

2. **What could improve?** (What would you do differently?)

3. **Key learnings?** (What insights will you carry forward?)

Questions about skill-ship.

Which coding agents can use skill-ship?
skill-ship installs in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode and Windsurf with the skills CLI, using each agent's flag shown on this page. Flowy's auto-invocation, which fires a skill when your prompt matches, runs in Claude Code only.
