# Shipped: the SeaShell automated work log

> Shipped is a free SeaShell command that reads your git commits and working sessions for a window and writes a plain-language log of what you delivered.

Shipped is an SeaShell command that answers what did you get done this week from your actual history rather than your memory. Run /shipped and SeaShell reads your git commits and working sessions for the last 7 days, groups them, and writes a plain-language document to narrative/<window>.md in your repository. It is free, on by default, and needs no account. Four further sections fill in when SeaShell also has a record of what was said around the work.

## Key takeaways

- Available now, free, and on by default. No account required.
- Run /shipped in SeaShell, or /shipped --since 7d for a specific window.
- Reads git commits and working sessions. Nothing to log by hand.
- Writes narrative/<window>.md into your repo as git-tracked markdown you own.
- Decided, Promised, Learned, and Scope changes require Intake, which is a paid tier.

## What did you get done this week

The record of a week already exists across 2 places, your commits and your SeaShell sessions, and neither one reads like a sentence.

Shipped gathers both for a time window and renders them as prose rather than a commit list. There is nothing new to log, because it reads what is already there. The default window is 7 days, and --since changes it.

## It writes markdown into your repository

Shipped writes 1 file per window, narrative/<window>.md, as ordinary git-tracked markdown.

The document is yours and portable: readable in any editor, diffable in review, and regenerated per window rather than maintained by hand. SeaShell keeps a rebuildable cache alongside it, but the markdown is the artefact you keep.

## The sections it cannot fill, it names

Shipped renders 1 section from git alone, and names the 4 it cannot fill without more context.

Shipped comes from commits and sessions, so it always renders. Decided, Promised, Learned, and Scope changes come from meeting transcripts read by SeaShell Intake. When Intake is not connected, the document lists those four by name under a Not recorded heading rather than silently returning a shorter file.

## Availability

Shipped is the 1 record engine included in the free SeaShell core, and it is available today.

It defaults on with no configuration and requires no account, though it does need a model provider configured, which SeaShell needs anyway. The Intake-backed sections belong to the paid tier, and SeaShell Pro is not yet on sale, so those four sections are not reachable yet.

## FAQ

### Is the SeaShell work log available now?

Yes. Run /shipped in SeaShell. It is part of the free core, on by default, and requires no account.

### What does it read to build the log?

Your git commits and your SeaShell working sessions for the window. If Intake is connected it also reads the commitments, decisions, facts, and scope changes extracted from your meeting transcripts.

### Do I have to write anything?

No. The log is derived from the record SeaShell already has and is regenerated per window, so there is nothing to maintain by hand.

### Where does the file go?

narrative/<window>.md inside your repository, as ordinary git-tracked markdown. It is yours, and it stays readable and diffable without SeaShell.

### Why does my log say Not recorded?

Because SeaShell has no meeting record for that window. Shipped is built from commits and sessions, while Decided, Promised, Learned, and Scope changes need Intake, which reads call transcripts and is part of the paid tier.

### Can it help with client status updates?

It gives you the factual half: what actually shipped, in sentences. Shaping that into a client-ready note in a specific voice is a separate paid capability that is not yet on sale.
