Hypership
Ship features with testing gates. Consolidate debt with safety nets.
AI-first delivery framework for senior engineering teams. Two commands. One philosophy: obsessively ship, deliberately consolidate.
Why Hypership
Every feature you ship accumulates debt. Every debt removal risks breaking what you shipped. Hypership solves both sides:
/delivery— classifies your work (feature, bugfix, chore, mixed), applies testing gates, orchestrates Superpowers or Ralph Loop, logs everything/removedebt— scopes debt via git history, presents findings with strategic questions, executes with safety gates (snapshot, escape hatch, hard stop)
You decide what to cut. Hypership executes with guardrails.
Quick Start
1. Install
/plugin install hgrafa/hypership
Superpowers installs automatically as a dependency.
2. Ship something
/delivery add Stripe refund flow with webhook handling
Hypership classifies your request, selects the right pipeline, implements with testing gates, and logs the delivery.
3. Consolidate
/removedebt since last consolidation
Scans the git diff, finds real debt, asks you what to fix, and executes with safety nets.
Commands
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
/delivery [description] | Orchestrate feature/bugfix delivery with testing gates |
/removedebt [context] | Analyze and remove tech debt with safety gates |
/status | Show delivery cycle health |
Testing Gates (/delivery)
| Type | Gate | Enforces |
|---|---|---|
| Bugfix | Bug-as-Test | Reproduce bug as failing test before fixing |
| Feature | Acceptance Coverage | Tests map 1:1 to acceptance criteria from brainstorm |
| Chore | TDD only | Standard Superpowers TDD, no extra gates |
| Mixed | Per-item | Decomposes prompt, each item gets its type-appropriate gate |
Non-reproducible bugs don't block — they get 3 fallback strategies (defense-in-depth, observability, hypothesis-driven hardening).
Safety Gates (/removedebt)
| Gate | When | What |
|---|---|---|
| Snapshot | Before execution | Captures full test baseline (pass/fail/skip/coverage) |
| Escape Hatch | After snapshot | Declare which tests may break intentionally (immutable once execution starts) |
| Hard Stop | After each category | Blocks on unexpected test failures with options: revert, investigate, or continue |
Configuration
Create or edit hypership.config.json in the plugin root:
{
"strictDeliveryFramework": false
}
| Setting | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|
strictDeliveryFramework | false | When true, ALL implementation work must go through /delivery. No direct Superpowers bypass. |
Philosophy
- Features and debt removal are separate activities
- Debt is concrete (detectable via grep), not speculative
- Senior engineers decide — tool proposes, you dispose
- No bugfix without evidence — reproduce first, harden if you can't
- No refactor without safety net — snapshot, declare breaks, hard stop on surprises
Stack
Required:
- Superpowers — quality backbone (TDD, debugging, code review, planning)
Optional companions (auto-detected when present):
- Ralph Loop — AFK autonomous delivery mode
- Context7 — docs lookup during implementation
- GitHub MCP — auto-fetch issues, auto-create PRs
