ship

Quickly add, commit, and push changes to the current branch.

Arguments

• message

  (optional): Commit message. If not provided, will prompt the user for one.

Instructions

1. Run

   git status

   to check the current state of the repository
2. If there are no changes to commit, inform the user and exit
3. Parse the commit message from args:
   • If args starts with

     -m 

     or

     --message 

     , extract the message after the flag (removing quotes if present)
   • Otherwise, treat the entire args string as the message (removing surrounding quotes if present)
   • If args is empty or just whitespace, ask the user for a commit message using AskUserQuestion
4. Run

   git add .

   to stage all changes
5. Create a commit with the message using the git commit protocol from the system instructions:
   • Format the message properly with a Co-Authored-By line at the end
   • Use a heredoc for proper formatting:

     git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'\n[message]\n\nCo-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>\nEOF\n)"

6. Run

   git push

   to push the changes to the remote
7. Confirm success to the user with a summary of what was pushed (include commit message and branch)

Example Usage

/ship "Add new printer case study"
/ship -m "Fix typography issues"
/ship

Notes

• Always follow git safety protocols
• Show git status before committing
• Confirm successful push with the user
• If push fails, report the error clearly
