Is the Shiplog skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from devallibus/shiplog. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Shiplog SkillProof Score?

8.8/10 — installs cleanly 4/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 4/5.

How do I install Shiplog?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Shiplog with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Works with setup
Score: 8.8/10
Tested: Jul 14, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 8adcac7

Real friction found: the SKILL.md's own Verb Grid says each /shiplog phase file 'owns policy, templates, and acceptance checklist,' but those commands/shiplog/*.md files live at the repo root, outside skills/shiplog/ — a plain cp -r of the assigned path silently drops them. Once both directories are copied, the skill produces genuinely more useful artifacts than a generic 'file an issue' answer: real gh issue create commands, envelope YAML, tiered task contracts, and provenance signatures.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What Shiplog does

Orchestrates a full plan-to-merge workflow (brainstorm to issue, branch, commits, PR, cross-model review, merge) with a strict envelope/signing schema so every decision is retrievable later by issue number. Triggers on planning/brainstorming, issue or PR creation, resuming prior work, or asking 'where did we decide X.'

How to install Shiplog

git clone https://github.com/devallibus/shiplog
cd shiplog
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills/shiplog ~/.claude/skills/shiplog

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Shiplog

/shiplog Turns GitHub issues/PRs into a signed, queryable knowledge graph of your work

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

Let's brainstorm this feature and track the decision in an issue
I'm resuming work on issue #42, catch me up on where we left off
Where did we decide to use envelope YAML for signing commits?
