# Unship ## Overview Unship is a local workflow for comparing AI-generated UI alternatives in the real application instead of accepting one generated version at a time. It adds temporary source-level variants, shows a local browser picker, and then cleans up the unused options after the user chooses. This skill is for frontend iteration with coding agents. It is not production A/B testing, analytics, feature flagging, or a hosted experiment service. ## When to Use This Skill - Use when the user wants to compare multiple UI, layout, copy, state, flow, or design-system alternatives. - Use when a coding agent should create several temporary options in real source code and let the user judge them in the running local app. - Use when the user chooses a visible option and wants the losing temporary code removed before shipping. ## Do Not Use This Skill When - The user needs production experiments, traffic splitting, analytics, or feature flags. - The app cannot safely render inactive hidden variants because of duplicate active IDs, global scripts, analytics triggers, focus traps, destructive actions, or autoplay side effects. - The user has not authorized local source edits. ## How It Wo

About this skill
What does the unship skill do?

Compare AI agent-made UI variants locally in a real app, then keep one and clean up unused temporary code.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill unship --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
