Ops Ship

OPS ► SHIP — merge-all-PRs → release → update, in one command

Load ops-rules before acting. Public repo (no personal data). Outbound: one draft → one approval → one send. If AskUserQuestion / Workflow are missing, follow Rule 10 in ops-rules (Hermes: numbered options / two-turn Telegram card; delegate_task).

The whole release chain in a single shot:

1. Sweep — admin squash-merge every open, non-draft PR targeting the base branch (default main), overriding required checks/reviews (gh pr merge --admin). A failed merge aborts before the release — no partial ship.
2. Release — delegates to bin/ops-release: bump plugin.json + marketplace.json registry + package.json + CHANGELOG, open the release PR, admin-merge to main, tag vX.Y.Z.
3. Update — runs the installed ops-update to pull the new version onto this box (skip with --no-update).

ops-ship = sweep + /ops:ops-release + /ops:ops-update in one. For just the publish step use /ops:ops-release; for just the pull step use /ops:ops-update.

⚠️ It admin-merges EVERY open non-draft PR — review the sweep first

By design the sweep is aggressive: it admin-merges all open non-draft PRs on the base branch, bypassing required checks (red CI, missing reviews) — exactly what you want for a trusted solo/own-org repo, dangerous if an unrelated or half-baked PR is open. So always dry-run first and show which PRs it will merge before applying (Rule 5 — bulk merge + outward-facing release + tag is high-impact and hard to reverse). It only skips drafts.

⚠️ Run it from the REPO CHECKOUT, not the cache

Like ops-release, ops-ship resolves its targets relative to its own path and needs REPO_ROOT/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json, which the plugin cache lacks. Run the copy inside a git checkout of the repo:

bashCopy code
SHIP=""
for d in ~/Developer/repos/claude-ops ~/Projects/claude-ops-workspace/claude-ops ~/Projects/claude-ops/claude-ops "$HOME"/Projects/*/claude-ops; do
  if [ -f "$d/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json" ] && [ -x "$d/claude-ops/bin/ops-ship" ]; then
    SHIP="$d/claude-ops/bin/ops-ship"; break
  fi
done
[ -n "$SHIP" ] || { echo "no claude-ops checkout with marketplace.json found"; exit 1; }

How to run it

1. Dry-run — show the sweep + the version bump

bashCopy code
"$SHIP" --type patch --dry-run

Present: the list of open PRs it will admin-merge, the version bump (current → new), the manifests touched, and the CHANGELOG block. (--notes defaults to a bullet list of the merged PR titles; pass --notes "…" to override.)

2. Confirm

Use AskUserQuestion before applying (this merges PRs AND publishes):

Copy code
Ship: admin-merge N open PR(s) on main, then release <CUR> → <NEW> + tag?
  [Ship it]
  [Dry-run only]
  [Cancel]

3. Apply

bashCopy code
"$SHIP" --type patch                 # or --version X.Y.Z, --notes "…", --no-update

Stream the step output (sweep → release → update). On success it ends with the new tag and the reload reminder. Surface the final line verbatim:

Restart Claude Code (or run /reload-plugins) to load v.

Flags

Notes

• PRs target main and are squash-merged with --admin (own-org PRs can't be self-approved; admin bypasses the review/required-check gates).
• REST quota: the sweep and ops-release use gh (GitHub REST). If REST is exhausted (HTTP 403 rate-limit), wait for the reset window — ops-ship aborts before releasing if any merge fails rather than partial-shipping.
• Publish ≠ loaded. The running session won't see the new version until ops-update (pull, run automatically unless --no-update) and /reload-plugins (load).
• Siblings: /ops:ops-release (publish only), /ops:ops-update (pull only).
