What is pr-ship?
The pr-ship skill is a specialized diagnostic tool designed for developers working on the OpenClaw repository. It functions by dynamically exploring the codebase to evaluate module risk, blast radius, and potential regressions before a pull request is merged. By integrating version-specific context and project-wide principles, it provides a comprehensive safety net for contributors.
This skill is part of the broader Openclaw Skills library, ensuring that every code change aligns with architectural standards and security philosophies. It empowers developers with evidence-backed findings, categorized by severity, to make informed decisions without imposing rigid blocking gates.
pr-ship Use Cases
- Assessing the blast radius of changes in critical core modules before publishing a PR.
- Identifying version-specific gotchas and behavioral changes in the latest OpenClaw releases.
- Ensuring PRs align with project vision, security philosophy, and architectural coupling patterns.
- Discovering relevant tests and potential side effects using dynamic codebase exploration.
How pr-ship Works
- The skill loads reference layers including principles, architecture maps, and exploration playbooks.
- It performs a git diff between the current branch and the main branch to identify changed files and patches.
- It classifies changed modules into risk tiers based on structural context and consumer counts.
- It executes read-only exploration commands to discover the impact on the codebase.
- It evaluates findings against safety invariants and project guidelines to generate a detailed risk report.
pr-ship Setup
To install the skill and keep it updated with the latest OpenClaw context, run the following commands:
# Install the pr-ship skill
clawhub install pr-ship
# Update to the latest version-specific context
clawhub update pr-ship
pr-ship Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill utilizes several markdown-based reference layers to organize its knowledge and metadata:
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
| STABLE-PRINCIPLES.md | Coding standards, safety invariants, and common pitfalls. |
| ARCHITECTURE-MAP.md | Module hierarchy, risk tiers, and impact matrices. |
| CURRENT-CONTEXT.md | Version-specific gotchas and recent behavioral changes. |
| EXPLORATION-PLAYBOOK.md | Read-only commands for dynamic codebase investigation. |
| VISION-GUIDELINES.md | Project policy, security philosophy, and merge guardrails. |
pr-ship Advanced Features
- Dynamic Risk Classification: Automatically calculates consumer counts to verify module sensitivity.
- Blast Radius Discovery: Uses grep and find to trace how changes propagate through the dependency graph.
- Severity-Based Alert Scoring: Provides a weighted risk score (1-10) for every finding to prioritize fixes.
- Vision Alignment Checks: Automatically identifies PRs that conflict with the project's 'will not merge' list or architectural boundaries.
