Ship — refactor-chain · ship

Bundle: refactor-chain (self-diagnosing, self-healing fix-it pipeline). Phase: ship · Prerequisite: refactor-publish-checklist returned GO · Next: refactor-improve (the retro). Adaptivity / conditional: repo-agnostic and source-control-agnostic — native git only, so it works on GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or a bare remote. Uses a host CLI (gh/glab) only if present; otherwise it prints the PR/MR body for the human to paste.

Purpose

The refactor is done and verified; this skill lands it. Deterministically: it creates (or confirms) a branch, commits the whole change with a clean conventional-commit message, drafts a pull/merge-request summary from the change write-up + audit trail, pushes, and lets CI take over. It stays source-control-agnostic by using plain git — no dependency on any single host's API — and it refuses to run until the publish checklist says GO, so it never ships a half-finished run.

When to use

• refactor-publish-checklist returned GO and the change is ready to leave your hands.
• Someone says "ship it", "commit and open a PR", "push this", "create the merge request".
• The orchestrator reaches the end of the ship phase with a clean go/no-go.
• Do NOT run on a NO-GO — clear the blockers first.
