Ship Plugin

AI plugin for ShipStatic — deploy static websites, landing pages, and prototypes instantly from your AI assistant.

Distributed as a Gemini CLI extension. The underlying SKILL.md uses the open Agent Skills standard, so the same instructional content powers any of the 35+ skills-aware tools — Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, VS Code, OpenAI Codex, Goose, and more.

Setup

Gemini CLI

gemini extensions install https://github.com/shipstatic/plugin

Claude Code, Cursor, and other Agent Skills tools

Copy skills/using-ship/SKILL.md into the tool's skills directory. See skills-aware tools for per-tool instructions.

Prerequisite

The plugin teaches your AI assistant the Ship CLI. Install it first:

npm install -g @shipstatic/ship

Deploy — Free, No Account Needed

Ask your AI assistant to deploy a site. No API key, no sign-up, no configuration.

Your site is live instantly on *.shipstatic.com.

Deployments without an API key are public and expire in 3 days. The response includes a claim URL — always show it to the user so they can keep the site permanently.

Want a private site? Ask your AI assistant to set a password when deploying — visitors will be prompted to unlock before viewing, on the deployment URL and on any custom domains pointing at it.

All Commands — Free API Key

For permanent deployments and full control over your sites and domains, get a free API key from my.shipstatic.com/api-key.

ship config    # paste your API key when prompted
