Ship — Feature-centric development framework for Claude Code
Commands:
/ship:start "idea" Start brainstorming a new feature or fix
/ship:design Compare architecture approaches and let user choose (optional)
/ship:plan Create implementation plan from CONTEXT.md
/ship:plan-verify Verify plan against codebase patterns before building
/ship:build Execute the plan with atomic commits
/ship:verify Verify acceptance criteria + adversarial bug hunt (writes tests)
Per-criterion verdicts: PASS / FAIL / INCONCLUSIVE (no runnable verify command).
/ship:go Auto-run remaining steps (plan → plan-verify → build → verify)
/ship:finish Complete a feature (create PR, merge, or keep branch)
Use --accept-inconclusive "reason" to override INCONCLUSIVE verdicts.
/ship:status Show all features and their status
/ship:resume Pick up where you left off on a feature
/ship:help Show this reference
Flow:
start → [design →] plan → plan-verify → build → verify → finish
(or just: start → go → finish)
/ship:go runs build→verify in a background Workflow (agent output stays out
of the main context); plan, plan-verify, and finish run interactively.
On verify FAIL: fix tasks are appended to PLAN.md; resume runs build again.
On INCONCLUSIVE: /ship:finish requires --accept-inconclusive "reason" to proceed.
Feature directory: .planning/features/{name}/
CONTEXT.md Brainstorm output (problem, decisions, acceptance criteria)
PLAN.md Implementation plan with tasks
REVIEW.md Per-phase review findings (build)
VERIFY.md Verification report (criteria + bug hunt)
$ARGUMENTS
Use when a feature plan has been verified and is ready for implementation — executes tasks with atomic commits
Use when you want to auto-run all remaining Ship steps for a feature without manual step-by-step invocation
Use when a feature has been brainstormed and needs a detailed implementation plan with tasks
Use when a brainstormed feature needs architectural decisions — presents 2-3 approaches for user to choose before planning
Use when a plan has been created and needs independent verification against codebase patterns before building
Use when beginning new feature work, adding functionality, or fixing a bug — runs intensive brainstorming to capture requirements before planning
