v0.1.0 — the protocol, and the boss chair

v0.1.0 — the protocol, and the boss chair

Most AI coding tools ask one question: how do we make the agent better?

SHIPBOSS asks a different one: who checks the agent's homework?

This first release is the answer, written down as plain Markdown you can hand to any
coding agent — Claude Code, Codex, or your own host.

What's in the box

PROTOCOL.md	The rules: four roles, two iron laws, 16 decidable violation checks, dispatch → verify → report → rework
platforms/	Three host adapters (Claude Code, Codex, DSH) — including what each host cannot do
references/	Seven templates: spec, verifier brief, one-page report, handoff, PM handoff, backlog, verification-script rules
install.sh	Copies the kit into ./.shipboss/. It never edits your project
verify.sh	Confirms the kit you just got is complete
docs/banner.png	The little office where nobody works — because you went to make coffee
docs/welcome.txt	The terminal banner. Yes, the whole point is that you are the boss

Everything ships in English and Chinese, side by side.

Try it in 30 seconds

git clone https://github.com/Lechoung-J/SHIPBOSS.git
cd SHIPBOSS
bash install.sh

Then hand PROTOCOL.md to your agent and tell it what you want built.

The one idea

You don't need a bigger AI org chart. You need one PM who turns your idea into a
checkable spec, one engineer who does the work in its own workspace, and one verifier
who never saw the work and re-runs every check from scratch.

You are the boss. You read one page. You say yes or no.

Known limits, stated plainly

• This is a protocol, not a runtime. It doesn't make the model smarter; it makes vague handoffs fail.
• Host support varies — each platforms/*.md lists what that host cannot do.
• The desktop observer (watch the work happen: dispatched → working → done → verified) is v0.2.

中文摘要

大多数 AI 编码工具都在问：「怎么让 agent 更聪明？」

SHIPBOSS 问的是另一个问题：谁在验收 agent 的作业？

这一版把答案写成了一套纯 Markdown 的规则：四个角色（你、产品经理、工程师、验收员）、
两条铁律、16 条可判定的违规检查，以及「派发 → 验收 → 一页纸 → 返工」的完整流程。

三份平台适配（Claude Code / Codex / DSH，含每个宿主做不到什么）、七份模板、
一个安装脚本、一个自检脚本，中英双语并列。

git clone https://github.com/Lechoung-J/SHIPBOSS.git
cd SHIPBOSS && bash install.sh

你是老板。你只看一页纸。你说行，或者不行。

已知边界：这是协议不是运行时；宿主能力有差异；桌面观察窗在 v0.2。
