What Ship does

Ship turns a finished evo run into a clean, mergeable change by distilling the best-scoring experiment down to its minimal diff, restoring test integrity, and opening a pull request or merging locally. Use when asked to land, merge, ship, or turn a finished optimization into a reviewable change.

Ship is cataloged under DevOps on DirSkills. Ship comes from a repository tagged agent-skills, autonomous-agents, autoresearch, claude-code and code-optimization.

Excerpt

Ship

Turn a finished evo run into a change a maintainer would merge.

The optimize loop leaves a tree of committed experiments. The winning worktree diff is not mergeable as-is: it carries debug prints, search-process churn, over-broad edits, and sometimes a test that was relaxed to clear a gate. Shipping is the step that re-derives the minimal clean change reproducing the winning behaviour, lands it the way the repo expects (PR or merge), and reports how mergeable it is.

Correctness is the floor, not the goal. The score says the behaviour works; this skill decides whether the diff is fit to merge.

Invocation

/evo:ship            # ship the auto-selected winner
/evo:ship exp_0042   # ship a specific experiment instead
