Enforces a gated pipeline from spec to passing tests across Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor, preventing unreviewed or broken code from advancing.

An agentic development harness for Claude Code, Codex & Cursor: gated pipeline from spec to green checks.

Run the full requirement-to-green-PR workflow with mechanically enforced quality gates (/ship:auto)
Require L1 evidence (screenshots, curl output, console logs) before a phase can pass QA
Run standalone phases like /ship:dev, /ship:review, or /ship:qa without the full pipeline
