What Shipwright is

Shipwright is a plugin published in the jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace repository on GitHub, which has about 2.8k stars. The repository describes itself as: “Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com.”

A plugin is a package that bundles skills, slash commands, subagents, hooks, and MCP connectors so they install together. Plugins are plain files with a manifest at .claude-plugin/plugin.json, and they work in both Claude Code and Claude Cowork.

Installing Shipwright adds everything it ships in one step. Connectors inside a plugin still need to be connected separately, and hooks and subagents only run in Cowork and Claude Code, not in regular chat.

How to install Shipwright

Claude Code

  1. Add the repository as a plugin marketplace: claude plugin marketplace add jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace
  2. Install the plugin: claude plugin install shipwright@<marketplace-name>, using the marketplace name from the repository's .claude-plugin/marketplace.json.
  3. Restart the session if the new skills or commands don't appear straight away.

Claude Cowork

  1. Open Customize → Plugins and choose Add marketplace.
  2. Enter jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace (the owner/repo shorthand works for GitHub).
  3. Find Shipwright in the list, click Install, then connect any connectors it needs from its Connectors tab.

Describe your app in plain English — Shipwright builds, tests, and deploys it autonomously via a 9-phase pipeline. Powered by product-agent on PyPI.

Quick Start

  1. Install the build engine:
pip install product-agent
  1. Use the skills:
  • /shipwright-build — Build a new app from a plain-English description
  • /shipwright-enhance — Add features to an existing Shipwright project
  • /shipwright-stacks — List supported tech stacks
  • /shipwright-projects — List and manage existing Shipwright projects

Supported Stacks

  • Next.js + Supabase — Full-stack with auth, database, and edge functions
  • Next.js + Prisma — Full-stack with type-safe ORM
  • SvelteKit — Lightweight full-stack with Svelte
  • Astro — Content-focused static and hybrid sites

The 9-Phase Pipeline

Shipwright orchestrates a complete build lifecycle:

  1. Intake — Parse the natural-language app description
  2. Architecture — Select stack, define schema, plan routes
  3. Scaffold — Generate project structure and boilerplate
  4. Implement — Write application code across all layers
  5. Test — Generate and run test suites (1,627+ tests validated)
  6. Integrate — Wire up APIs, auth, and data layer
  7. Polish — Lint, format, accessibility, and performance passes
  8. Validate — End-to-end verification and build checks
  9. Ship — Package for deployment

Build Engine

Shipwright delegates execution to product-agent, an autonomous build engine available on PyPI. The agent handles code generation, testing, and validation across all supported stacks.

Before you install

  • Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
  • Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
  • Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
  • Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
  • Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
