SKILL: Ship-Safe Audit

What It Does

Runs ship-safe — a pre-ship security and quality scanner that checks for secrets, vulnerabilities, and risky patterns before code reaches production.

Usage

npx ship-safe audit .

Run from the project root. No install required (npx fetches it on demand).

Opt-In

Ship-safe is disabled by default. To enable it:

• CI/CD: set the repository variable ENABLE_SHIP_SAFE=true in GitHub → Settings → Variables
• Agents / local: set env var ENABLE_SHIP_SAFE=true before invoking /ship-safe

When to Use

Only run if ENABLE_SHIP_SAFE=true is set. When enabled, appropriate moments are:

• Before opening a PR
• After adding new dependencies
• Before merging any feature branch to main
• After touching auth, secrets handling, or infra config

Output Interpretation

Symbol / keyword	Severity	Action
✓ PASS / ok / no issues	Clean	Safe to ship
⚠ WARN / MEDIUM / LOW	Advisory	Review before shipping
✗ FAIL / ERROR / CRITICAL / HIGH	Blocker	Must fix before shipping

Agent Instructions

1. Run npx ship-safe audit . from the repo root.
2. Parse stdout for CRITICAL/HIGH findings — these are blockers.
3. For each blocker: report the file, line, and finding description.
4. For MEDIUM/LOW: report as advisory, do not block.
5. If all checks pass: confirm "ship-safe: clean" and proceed.
6. If blockers found: halt the task, report findings to Orchestrator.

Example Integration (architect / pre-ship checklist)

/ship-safe

The skill runs the audit, colors findings by severity, and surfaces blockers before any merge action.
