# ship-it
## What this skill is
`ship-it` is the delivery stage of the Agentic Engineering pipeline. It checks and acts on a
milestone's or PR's actual current state — PR readiness and creation, investigation and
continuation on an already-open milestone PR, and post-merge closure and release — rather than
requiring proof that a particular `implement-it` session produced that state.
## Pipeline position
`lab-it → plan-it → implement-it → ship-it`
This skill never decides what work should exist and never implements code — `implement-it` is what
closes a milestone's issues, but this skill checks the milestone's and PR's current state directly
against GitHub rather than requiring evidence that a specific `implement-it` session produced it.
Its entry points have different prerequisites, not one shared precondition:
- **Milestone PR readiness and creation** require the milestone to genuinely have zero open issues
remaining, re-checked fresh — not merely an empty dependency-ready set, since open issues can all
be blocked without the milestone being done.
- **Investigating or continuing on an already-open milestone PR** (a CI failure, a follow-up push)
starts from the PR's own existence and state — it does not re-require zero open issues, since the
milestone already passed that gate once to reach PR creation.
- **Post-merge closure and release** start from the human's confirmation that the PR merged and
explicit authorization to proceed — independent of any `implemen
