Closes the PRD-lifecycle gap surfaced by the user: when sandcastle
finishes an epic's last task, the seed PRD should auto-flip from
approved -> shipped. Builds the mechanism, wires it into the work
CLI + state index + reviewer prompt + docs.
scripts/work/prd-ship.mjs (new):
- parseFrontmatter / serializeFrontmatter — minimal YAML-ish parser
sufficient for PRD frontmatter (scalar + list shapes)
- flipPrdStatus — pure function: takes PRD text, returns new text
with status=shipped + shipped=<date> + optional shipping-commits.
Refuses to flip draft, idempotent fail-soft on already-shipped,
rejects unexpected statuses
- deriveShippingCommits — best-effort git log of the linked epic
folder for the --auto-commits flag
- findPrdPath — id -> path lookup under docs/work/prds/
- runCli — wiring for `pnpm work prd-ship <id> [--commits|--auto-commits]`
scripts/work/prd-ship.test.mjs (new, 17 tests):
- Frontmatter parser handles scalars + lists + missing frontmatter
- flipPrdStatus covers all transitions + refusals + body/key preservation
- findPrdPath + serializeFrontmatter coverage
scripts/work/state-builder.mjs:
- Epic entries gain a `prd` field
- New computeNeedsPrdShip surfaces epics done with PRD status not yet
shipped: state.needs_prd_ship[] with action commands
scripts/work/cli.mjs:
- New subcommand `pnpm work prd-ship <id>`
.sandcastle/reviewer.prompt.md:
- "Epic close-out: PRD status flip" section instructing reviewer to
check _state.json.needs_prd_ship and run the suggested action
- JSON output extends with prd_shipped: "<id>" | null
docs/work/README.md:
- "PRD lifecycle" section documenting the 4 statuses + auto-flip
Future PRDs follow the lifecycle automatically: decomposer refuses
draft, human flips to approved, sandcastle ships the epic, reviewer
runs prd-ship on the final task, PRD lands as shipped with its
commit trail.

docs/work — the local task system
Filesystem-backed Epic/Story/Task hierarchy used by AI agents and humans alike.
See docs/architecture/agent-first-workflow-and-conformance.md for the full
design. Until the work-system-v1 epic ships orchestration tooling, this
folder is human-driven — agents read the files for context, humans flip
checkboxes.
Layout
prds/<date>-<slug>.prd.md— source PRDs<epic-slug>/_epic.md— one folder per epic<epic-slug>/<story-slug>/_story.md— one folder per story<epic-slug>/<story-slug>/<task-slug>.task.md— one file per task_templates/— copy-paste templates (added in work-system-v1)_state.json— derived index (added in work-system-v1)
PRD lifecycle
PRD status frontmatter field: draft → in-review → approved → shipped.
- draft → in-review — author flips when ready for review (manual)
- in-review → approved — human reviewer flips on acceptance (manual)
- approved → shipped — auto-flipped by
pnpm work prd-ship <prd-id>when the seed epic finishes. The state-builder surfaces this signal under_state.json→needs_prd_ship[]so the orchestrator (or a reviewer running the sandcastle workflow) can act on it.
The decomposer refuses to run on draft PRDs. Once approved, the seed epic is generated; once the epic completes, the PRD is automatically flipped to shipped along with its commit list.
