Shippo AI

This repo is the one-stop shop for building AI-powered shipping integrations with Shippo.

It contains:

  • 9 Agent Skills: Workflow knowledge for AI assistants covering rate shopping, address validation, label purchase (with customs), package tracking, batch shipping, shipping cost analysis, support-ticket drafting, integration best practices, and SDK/API upgrades. Authored once and distributed across multiple AI surfaces.
  • Claude Code Plugin (providers/claude/plugin/): Install via --plugin-dir or the plugin marketplace (/plugin marketplace add goshippo/ai).
  • OpenAI Codex Plugin (providers/codex/plugin/): Install via the Codex plugin marketplace; bundles the skills plus the OAuth MCP server.
  • ClawHub Skill (providers/clawhub/skills/shippo/): Install via openclaw skills install @shippo/shippo.
  • Claude apps (claude.ai / Desktop / Cowork): The whole plugin is packaged as a single upload-ready ZIP (shippo-plugin.zip), attached to every GitHub Release. One upload provisions all the skills.
  • Knowledge Pack (ChatGPT and other chat assistants) (providers/knowledge-pack/shippo-knowledge-pack.md): A single consolidated markdown for assistants that do not load SKILL.md folders. A user drops it into a chat, a Custom GPT's Knowledge, or a Project as context. It provides the shipping knowledge; live actions still use the hosted MCP connector.

What is a skill?

A skill is a folder containing a SKILL.md file, YAML frontmatter (at minimum: name and description) plus markdown instructions that tell an AI assistant how to perform a specific task. Skills can also bundle reference docs, scripts, and templates.

rate-shopping/
├── SKILL.md           # required: metadata + instructions
└── README.md          # optional: human-facing orientation

Agents load skills by progressive disclosure in three stages:

  1. Discovery: at startup, the agent loads only each skill's name and description, just enough to know when it might be relevant.
  2. Activation: when a user prompt matches a skill's description, the agent loads the full SKILL.md body into context.
  3. Execution: the agent follows the instructions, optionally loading referenced files (shippo/references/*.md) as it works.

Agent Skills is an open standard originally developed by Anthropic. The same SKILL.md works in Claude Code, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, VS Code, and 30+ other agents.

In this repo, the 9 skills under skills/ are the canonical source. They're propagated into providers/claude/plugin/skills/ and providers/codex/plugin/skills/ (1:1 mirrors), providers/clawhub/skills/shippo/ (consolidated digest), and providers/knowledge-pack/shippo-knowledge-pack.md (a single upload-ready knowledge pack for ChatGPT and other non-skill-loading assistants) automatically by the sync scripts.

Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Shippo hosts a remote MCP server with per-user OAuth. Each user authorizes once through Shippo, there is no API key to copy. The Claude Code and OpenAI Codex plugins point at this endpoint and trigger the sign-in on first use.

For per-tool semantics and usage, see the Shippo MCP server docs.
