Ship Skill

An Agent Skill that teaches AI coding agents how to deploy and manage static sites using the CLI. View SKILL.md

curl --create-dirs -so .claude/skills/ship/SKILL.md https://www.shipstatic.com/SKILL.md

What It Does

The skill gives your AI agent knowledge of three workflows:

Deploy — ship ./dist
Reserve a domain — ship domains set www.example.com
Link domain to deployment — ship domains set www.example.com <id>

Plus the full CRUD reference for deployments and domains.

Quick Start

Download the skill into your project:

curl --create-dirs -so .claude/skills/ship/SKILL.md https://www.shipstatic.com/SKILL.md

Your agent now knows how to install the CLI, authenticate, deploy, and manage domains.

Compatibility

The skill follows the Agent Skills open standard — a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter. Supported by:

Claude Code (.claude/skills/ship/)
Gemini CLI (.gemini/skills/ship/)
Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and 30+ tools

For cross-platform placement, use .agents/skills/ship/SKILL.md.

Authentication

The agent will prompt the user to run ship config or set the SHIP_API_KEY environment variable. Requires an API Key.

Architecture

The skill contains no code. It is a single markdown file (~60 lines) with CLI commands and workflows. The agent reads it, then executes the CLI directly.
