What building Shippy taught us about building agents

AnnouncementProductJul 15, 2026

Skylight built Shippy, an AI agent for real-time maritime domain awareness, to provide reliable answers verifiable against live data. Shippy runs on OpenClaw and uses markdown-based skills to query Skylight's API, resolve boundaries, and generate map links. A purpose-built CLI handles API complexity, ensuring deterministic tool behavior. Shippy's system prompt explicitly prohibits legal determinations and speculation beyond data.
