# Ship a small fix without a plan

For a clear, local change, ask Ship directly; missing planning files do not block it.

## Prompt

Claude Code:

```text
/ship Fix the invoice date so it uses the account's locale
```

If /ship runs another command, use /planr:ship.

Codex:

```text
$ship Fix the invoice date so it uses the account's locale
```

With the OpenPlanr plugin for Codex, use $planr:ship.

Cursor:

```text
@planr-ship Fix the invoice date so it uses the account's locale
```

Cursor applies the planr-ship rule when you mention it in chat.

Parts to fill in, shown with their example text:

- The change: Fix the invoice date so it uses the account's locale

## Why this works

Ship works from a task or from a clearly stated request. For a direct request, the request plus the repository is enough context, and it still finds and runs the repository's checks before it reports.
