How to use the Shipping Artifacts agent skill (moved notice)
Updated · written with AI from the project's own documentation and checked against our catalogue data
Shipping Artifacts is an agent skill for documenting an AI-built app so it can be reviewed before it ships. This page is a placeholder: the skill has moved to the phuryn/product-engineering repository, inside its ai-shipping plugin. Here you will learn what this copy does, how to install the maintained version, and how to ask for it in plain language.

- 1Confirm your setup. Make sure you have the Claude Code CLI with plugin support and network access to GitHub.
- 2Add the marketplace. Run claude plugin marketplace add phuryn/product-engineering to register the repository.
- 3Install the plugin. Run claude plugin install ai-shipping@product-engineering to install the ai-shipping plugin.
- 4Turn off this copy. Disable pm-ai-shipping so the redirect no longer loads beside the plugin version.
- 5Ask for the task. Request documentation for an AI-built app before it ships, in plain words.
What is an agent skill, and what does this one do?
An agent skill is a folder containing a SKILL.md file. The file tells an AI agent when to use a method and how to do the task. The agent loads the skill when your request matches its description.
This copy of shipping-artifacts does not contain the full documentation method. Its description says it is used when asked to document an AI-built app so it can be reviewed before it ships. When it loads, it checks whether the ai-shipping:shipping-artifacts plugin version is installed and uses that if so. If not, it tells you where the skill moved, gives the install commands, and then helps with the task using general knowledge.
Install the maintained version
The maintained skill lives in the ai-shipping plugin of phuryn/product-engineering. You need the Claude Code CLI with plugin support and network access to GitHub. Add the marketplace, then install the plugin:
- Run the marketplace command to register phuryn/product-engineering.
- Run the install command for ai-shipping@product-engineering.
- Other agents: see the repository's README for install steps.
claude plugin marketplace add phuryn/product-engineering
claude plugin install ai-shipping@product-engineeringDownload and unzip this copy manually
If you want this copy itself, download the ZIP from this page and unzip it into ~/.claude/skills/ for your user account, or into a project's .claude/skills/ folder for one project. In the Claude apps, you can instead upload the skill under Settings → Capabilities → Skills.
Note that this copy only contains the redirect. Installing it will not give you the full shipping documentation workflow.
- Personal: ~/.claude/skills/
- Project: .claude/skills/ inside the project folder
- Claude apps: Settings → Capabilities → Skills
Trigger the skill with natural requests
You do not need a special command. Ask for the task in plain words that match the skill's purpose, such as documenting an AI-built app before release. The agent decides whether to load the skill based on its description.
If the plugin version is installed, the agent should use it. If you still see this redirect, check that the plugin is installed and that this copy is turned off.
- Document this AI-built app so a reviewer can check it before it ships.
- Prepare shipping documentation for the app I built with an AI coding tool.
- Create a pre-release documentation checklist for this AI-generated project.
What to expect and what it needs
The skill needs the Claude Code CLI with plugin support, and network access to GitHub to add the phuryn/product-engineering marketplace. This copy runs no scripts, but it does use the network for the install step.
Once the plugin is installed, turn off pm-ai-shipping in this copy, so the redirect no longer loads beside it.
- Runs scripts: no
- Uses network: yes (to add the marketplace)
- Files: SKILL.md
Tips before you start
Check the plugin is installed before relying on the skill. If you cannot install plugins or run the claude CLI, this copy will not give you standalone guidance.
- Use the maintained plugin version rather than this redirect.
- Keep the redirect copy disabled once the plugin is active.
- Read the repository README for non-Claude agents.
What people use it for
- Documenting an AI-built app so a reviewer can check it before release.
- Building a pre-release documentation checklist for a team's AI-generated project.
- Finding the maintained shipping-artifacts skill after it was moved out of pm-skills.
Frequently asked questions
Is shipping-artifacts free to use?
The skill is listed under the MIT licence. The source does not mention pricing, so check the repository for any terms that apply to the ai-shipping plugin.
How do I install shipping-artifacts?
Run claude plugin marketplace add phuryn/product-engineering, then claude plugin install ai-shipping@product-engineering. Other agents should follow the repository README.
Why does this copy only show a redirect?
The skill has moved to phuryn/product-engineering, in its ai-shipping plugin. This copy stays in pm-skills so an agent that loads it knows where the maintained version is.
Does this skill run scripts or use the network?
It runs no scripts. It uses the network for the install step, which adds the GitHub marketplace.
What do I do if the skill does not trigger?
Confirm the ai-shipping plugin is installed and that pm-ai-shipping is turned off in this copy. Then ask for the documentation task again in plain words.
What are alternatives if I cannot install plugins?
The source gives no standalone method for this case. The redirect says the agent helps with the task using general knowledge, so you may need another documentation approach.

Our verdict
Use the maintained shipping-artifacts skill from the ai-shipping plugin if you want a pre-release documentation workflow for an AI-built app and can run the Claude Code CLI. Pick something else if you cannot install plugins, or if you expected this pm-skills copy to contain the full method, since it only holds the redirect and install instructions.
