ship.md treats your folders as places: drag a file from `office/` to `home/`, or run `mv eg1/office/bike.txt eg1/home/`, and it doesn't just relocate a file — it POSTs to Uber's delivery API and dispatches an actual courier, logging a timestamped audit trail down to the delivery ID. The same trigger works from a terminal command or an AI agent's prompt. Self-hostable, with 25-odd logistics providers behind the same three verbs.
A folder tree as a map: move `bike.txt` from `office/` to `home/` and ship.md fires a tool call for the trip, including a POST to Uber's delivery API. The premise is lovely and the source is genuinely there, but dispatching a courier needs an Uber Direct *business* account and a delivery quote you obtain yourself — the app supplies neither. A sharp prototype, not a working button.
