/shipstar:email-your-users sends real email to real people, so it runs with two hard rules: you see the final draft and the exact audience before anything sends, and each release email can only ever be sent once.

Install

Via the official Claude Code plugin (bundles the MCP connection):
Or install the skills standalone from your dashboard’s Agents page (curl -fsSL <APP_URL>/agent-skills/install.sh | sh -s -- <APP_URL>).

When to use it

Say “email our users about the release”, “send release notes to the mailing list”, or “let customers know what shipped this week”.

What the agent does

  1. Checks the audience first with list_mailing_lists — if no list has active recipients it stops rather than generating an email nobody will receive (recipients are managed in Dashboard → Destinations → Email).
  2. Generates with generate_release_notes_email for the commit window, applying any audience or scope guidance, and polls get_generation_status.
  3. Shows you the full draft and the exact lists and recipient counts, and iterates with update_content.
  4. Sends only on your explicit confirmation via send_release_email — delivery includes per-recipient one-click unsubscribe (RFC 8058), and an already-sent email cannot be re-sent.

Requirements

  • Shipstar MCP server connected (see Set up Shipstar)
  • At least one mailing list with active recipients
