Shipwright: An Open-Source Project Management Tool Built on Claude Code
What Shipwright Is
Shipwright is an open-source project management tool built to run on Claude Code. It's designed as a "PM operating system" that coordinates multiple specialized agents to handle project management tasks before engineering work begins.
Core Architecture
- 44 skills in plain Markdown format
- 7 highly specialized agents
- 16 workflows
- Binary quality gates that give clear pass/fail results
- Recovery playbooks for when things go wrong
- Agents and coordination system are Claude Code-specific
Practical Applications from Source
The creator used Shipwright to evaluate a credential verification tool concept. The discovery workflow audited 7 different credential registries, examined their Terms of Service, and tested API terms. The finding: 9 out of 9 registries don't allow programmatic access for under $2 per query, and reselling isn't permitted. This issue was caught before any engineering work started.
In another case for healthcare pre-sales work, Shipwright provided:
- A breakdown of how 9 different automation platforms compared across 9 dimensions
- A 29-question questionnaire for deeper analysis
- A company profile with all unknowns clearly marked
These pre-work analyses saved an estimated 4-6 days of work.
Prioritization Features
- Deep mode runs multi-framework comparisons (RICE vs. Kano vs. MoSCoW on the same backlog)
- Applies stakeholder-specific scoring weights
- Runs sensitivity analysis per assumption
- Every proposal gets reviewed from 7 angles
- Includes a mandatory devil's advocate who must challenge at least 2 assumptions
Compatibility Notes
The skills are in plain Markdown and can be used with Cursor, Codex, and the Gemini CLI. The creator hasn't personally tested it on other LLMs. The agents and coordination system are specifically built for Claude Code.
