Design Ship

Design Ship

One command: Claude Design handoff URL → reviewable GitHub PR.

bashCopy code
design-ship https://claude.ai/design/abc123     # From handoff URL
design-ship /tmp/handoff-bundle.json            # From local file

When to use

You have a Claude Design handoff URL (or file) and want a PR opened against the current branch. No intermediate steps, no manual test generation, no manual PR drafting.

For just-the-import (no tests, no PR), use design-import instead.

Pre-flight

Before starting the pipeline, verify the working tree is clean enough to ship:

pythonCopy code
status = Bash("git status --porcelain")
if status:
    AskUserQuestion(questions=[{
      "question": "Working tree has uncommitted changes. How to proceed?",
      "header": "Pre-flight",
      "options": [
        {"label": "Commit them first", "description": "Run commit, then proceed with ship"},
        {"label": "Stash and restore", "description": "Stash now, restore after PR opens"},
        {"label": "Include in this PR", "description": "Risky — only if changes are related"},
        {"label": "Cancel", "description": "Abort design-ship"}
      ],
      "multiSelect": False
    }])

current_branch = Bash("git branch --show-current")
if current_branch in ("main", "master", "dev"):
    AskUserQuestion(questions=[{
      "question": f"You're on {current_branch}. Create a feature branch?",
      "header": "Branch",
      "options": [
        {"label": "Yes — feat/design-ship-<bundle-id>", "description": "Recommended"},
        {"label": "Cancel", "description": "Switch branch yourself first"}
      ],
      "multiSelect": False
    }])

Phase 1 — Import

Delegate to design-import with the bundle argument. Capture its output (the import manifest) — it includes the bundle_id, list of components written, and the provenance file path.

If import fails, stop. Do NOT proceed to test generation against partially-imported components.

Phase 2 — Cover

Run cover scoped to the components written by phase 1:

pythonCopy code
component_paths = [c["path"] for c in import_result["components"] if c["decision"] != "reuse"]

Agent(
  subagent_type="ork:test-generator",
  description="Cover the freshly-imported components",
  prompt=f"""Use the cover skill to generate tests for these components (scoped — do not regenerate suites for unrelated files):
  {component_paths}

  Tiers needed:
  - Storybook stories per component (mandatory)
  - Playwright E2E if any new route was registered (check src/app or src/pages)
  - Unit tests if the components include non-trivial logic (skip for pure-presentation)
  """
)

Phase 3 — Expect

Run expect to do diff-aware browser verification. This produces the screenshots that go into the PR body:

pythonCopy code
Agent(
  subagent_type="ork:expect-agent",
  description="Diff-aware verification of imported components",
  prompt=f"""Use the expect skill on the current diff.

  Extra: capture before/after screenshots for each new component
  and save them to .claude/design-handoffs/{bundle_id}/screenshots/.
  These will be uploaded to the PR body.

  If verification fails, do not block — report findings and continue.
  Failures will surface in the PR review.
  """
)

Phase 4 — Create PR

Use create-pr with a body templated from the bundle and verification results:

pythonCopy code
pr_body = f"""## Summary
Generated from Claude Design handoff: {bundle_url}

Bundle ID: `{bundle_id}` · Provenance: `.claude/design-handoffs/{bundle_id}.json`

## Components
| Decision | Component | Path |
|---|---|---|
{table_from(import_result['components'])}

## Tokens
- Added: {len(token_diff['added'])}
- Modified: {len(token_diff['modified'])}
- Conflicts (resolved): {len(token_diff['conflicts'])}

## Verification (`expect`)
{expect_summary}

## Coverage delta (`cover`)
{coverage_delta}

## Screenshots
{screenshot_table}

---
🤖 Opened by `design-ship` · Closes: (none — link issues manually)
"""

Bash(f"gh pr create --title '{pr_title}' --body @- <<< '{pr_body}' --label claude-design")

Phase 5 — Update provenance

Patch the provenance file with the opened PR number and URL:

pythonCopy code
provenance = Read(f".claude/design-handoffs/{bundle_id}.json")
provenance["pr"] = {"number": pr_number, "url": pr_url, "opened_at": now()}
Write(f".claude/design-handoffs/{bundle_id}.json", provenance)

Failure modes

Composition

NOT this skill's job

Limitations

• No auto-merge: this skill opens the PR; humans review and merge.
• No iteration loop: if the PR review surfaces design changes, you currently re-export from Claude Design and re-run design-ship. The reverse-path (live UI drift → refinement prompt for claude.ai/design) is tracked in M124 — Claude Design Drift Sync (Bet B): #1391 (PR hook), #1393 (design-iterate), #1395 (design-drift-detector agent).
• Single-bundle scope: one invocation, one bundle, one PR. Multi-bundle batches are not supported.
