shipkit-engineering-definition

Define the technical approach — mechanisms, design decisions, stack direction, and component structure. Triggers: 'engineering approach', 'how to build this', 'technical design', 'mechanisms'.

shipkit-engineering-goals

Derive technical performance criteria from the engineering blueprint. Writes goals/engineering.json with response times, reliability, coverage thresholds. Evaluate mode checks actuals against targets.

shipkit-qa-visual

Visual QA using Playwright as a browser automation library. --setup installs Playwright and creates ui-goals.json; default mode writes inline scripts to navigate, screenshot, and report against goals.

Use when user needs to think through decisions, explore trade-offs, or challenge assumptions. Triggers: 'think with me', 'help me decide', 'what am I missing?', 'devil's advocate', 'pre-mortem'.

shipkit-update

Install or update Shipkit via npx. Detects existing installations, archives them safely, and intelligently merges user content with new version.

shipkit-ux-audit

Use when auditing implemented UI for missing UX patterns. Triggers: 'audit UX', 'check UX', 'missing patterns', 'UX gaps'.

shipkit-master

Master orchestrator — dispatches direction, planning, and shipping loops sequentially. Auto-loaded via session-start hook.

shipkit-orch-direction

Direction loop — defines WHY, WHAT, and strategic foundations. Dispatches producer skills and reviews coherence. Can be invoked standalone or by shipkit-master.

shipkit-orch-planning

Planning loop — translates definitions into specs, plans, and test cases. Dispatches planning skills and reviews alignment. Can be invoked standalone or by shipkit-master.

shipkit-orch-shipping

Shipping loop — spawns implementation team, verifies quality, gates release. Can be invoked standalone or by shipkit-master.

shipkit-plan

Use when a spec exists and user wants implementation steps. Triggers: 'how to implement', 'create plan', 'plan this', 'what are the steps'.

shipkit-preflight

Aggregates project context and audits production readiness against a comprehensive SaaS checklist. Routes to prerequisite skills when context is missing.

shipkit-product-definition

Define what to build — features, UX patterns, and differentiators that solve discovered user needs. Triggers: 'product definition', 'what to build', 'features', 'solution design'.

shipkit-product-discovery

Use when defining users, personas, or user journeys. Triggers: 'who are users', 'create personas', 'user research', 'user stories'.

shipkit-product-goals

Derive measurable user-outcome criteria from the product blueprint. Writes goals/product.json (completion rates, UX quality, satisfaction). Evaluate mode compares actuals to targets.

shipkit-project-context

Use when starting a new project or refreshing tech stack context. Triggers: 'scan project', 'what's my stack', 'refresh context', 'generate stack'.
