/shipitAdds the production-readiness layer Claude usually skips: error handling, edge cases, types, logging.

What changes in Claude's response
Claude wraps every external call in try/catch, adds input validation at function boundaries, handles the 'empty array' and 'null' cases that prototypes always skip, adds structured logging for the parts that matter, and tightens the types so TypeScript catches things at compile time. The diff is usually 2x the original code length, and that's the point.
When NOT to use /shipit
Don't /shipit early-stage prototypes. The robustness layer is overhead until the code's shape is settled — adding it before then locks you into decisions you'll want to change.

/debugFinds the bug and tells you exactly where it is, not what bugs look like in general.
REFACTORCleans up messy code without changing what it does. Tells you what changed and why.
ARCHITECTDesigns system structure before any code is written. Forces decisions, doesn't just list options.
/convertRewrites code in another language idiomatically — not transliterated.
