The "Ship and Know" Workflow for Solo Founders

Ship clean, production-grade features without the "ship and pray" anxiety. This skill provides a specialized 5-stage subagent dispatch chain designed for solo developers using Claude Code. It transforms the solitary coding process into a disciplined multi-agent review cycle that catches critical bugs—like schema drift, RLS holes, and auth leaks—before they hit production.

What it does

• Phase 1: Builder – Implements the feature chunk and generates a detailed technical report of changes and assumptions.
• Phase 2: Reviewer – Audits the diff for security flaws, architectural inconsistencies, and missing edge cases.
• Phase 3: Tester – Executes the code in a staging context, verifying everything from happy paths to malformed inputs.
• Phase 4 & 5: Deploy & Doc – Facilitates safe deployment followed by automated documentation of the project state and changelog.

Why use this skill?

Unlike simple prompting, this skill introduces handoff discipline. Each agent has restricted roles; for example, the Reviewer cannot write code, and the Tester cannot deploy. This separation of concerns forces the AI to check its own work through different "eyes," mirroring a high-performing engineering team's PR process. It converts potential hours of post-deploy debugging into a managed pre-deploy validation cycle.
