## What it does

ship-mate is a Claude plugin that takes a story file and carries it all the way to a reviewed, tested feature. The flow is a chain: an orchestrator kicks off an architect, the architect hands off to a developer, then a PR reviewer, QA and Playwright step in. Each stage is a separate subagent, so you can see exactly where a task stalls.

Installation goes through the plugin marketplace: add the `wshobson/agents` source first, then install the plugin itself. No API keys or outside services are involved. If you're behind a proxy or a private mirror, set that in your environment or the tool's config file rather than on the install line.

The chain assumes a clear task description. A vague story file leaves the architect and developer guessing, and review plus QA will hand back noise. That's worth ten minutes of writing a proper spec before you run it.

## Requirements
- Works with: Playwright

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add wshobson/agents
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install ship-mate@claude-code-workflows
```

## When to use it
- turn a story file into a finished feature without manual handoffs
- run code through review and QA before teammates see it
- wire Playwright into checks for user-facing flows
- split a large task into architecture, implementation and tests
- keep several subagents orchestrated in one run

## Example prompts
- /plugin install ship-mate@claude-code-workflows
- Take the story file `feature.md` and run it through the whole pipeline to a finished PR
- Run ship-mate on this task: architect, developer, review, QA and Playwright
