Is the GitHub CLI (gh) required?

Yes, the shipping phase utilizes both git and gh commands to manage branches, pull requests, and remote repository interactions.

Does this skill automatically merge pull requests?

Yes, Phase 3 includes a merge step that can squash-merge and clean up branches once reviews and fix loops are complete.

What happens if validation fails?

The workflow stops at Phase 1 if blocking errors are found, providing a detailed summary of what needs to be fixed before you can proceed to shipping.

Can I run this without actually making changes?

Yes, use the --dry-run flag to preview validation, cleanup actions, and shipping operations without executing them.

Can I skip specific parts of the workflow?

You can use the --skip-validate or --skip-cleanup flags to bypass those specific phases if you only want to focus on the shipping process.

Deployment & DevOps

Automates the end-to-end process of validating code, cleaning repository artifacts, and shipping changes through a structured Git workflow.

The Validate and Ship skill streamlines the entire development lifecycle by chaining three critical phases: plugin validation, repository hygiene, and deployment. It performs deep structural and content checks on plugins, automatically removes temporary files and build artifacts, and executes a full Git/GitHub workflow—from branch creation and AI-driven code reviews to pull request merging. This skill is specifically designed for developers working in marketplace environments or complex repositories where consistency and automated quality assurance are required before merging changes into the main branch.
