VoteShip

Manage feature requests, votes, roadmaps, and changelogs with VoteShip.

Manage feature requests, voting boards, public roadmaps, and changelogs for any VoteShip project. VoteShip is a feature request management platform that helps teams collect, organize, and prioritize user feedback.

This skill operates in two modes:

• Admin mode (requires VOTESHIP_API_KEY): Full access to manage your project's posts, votes, tags, users, analytics, AI tools, and webhooks. All admin operations authenticate via the VoteShip REST API using your project API key — no additional credentials are needed for any feature, including Stripe MRR sync and webhook configuration.
• Public mode (no API key): Read-only browsing, submitting feature requests, upvoting, and commenting on any public VoteShip board. Requires VOTESHIP_PROJECT_SLUG to identify the board.

Setup

1. Get your API key from Settings → API in your VoteShip dashboard.
2. Set VOTESHIP_API_KEY in your environment for admin access.
3. Set VOTESHIP_PROJECT_SLUG to your project's slug (e.g., my-app). Required for public mode, optional for admin mode.

Admin Capabilities (requires VOTESHIP_API_KEY)

Feature Requests

• List, create, update, and delete feature requests with filtering by status and sorting by votes or date
• Search for similar requests using AI semantic search (pgvector)
• Submit raw unstructured text (from Slack, email, support tickets) and let AI extract title, description, detect duplicates, and auto-categorize

Voting & Comments

• Record votes from your project's existing board users (identified by their board_user_id) or anonymous visitors (by anonymous_id)
• List all voters on any post
• Add public comments or internal team-only notes

Roadmap & Changelog

• View the product roadmap grouped by status: Approved, In Progress, Complete
• Create and list published changelog releases with HTML content support

Analytics & AI

• Get analytics summaries (new posts, votes, comments, page views, top posts, trending tags) for any period
• AI-powered inbox triage: analyze pending posts, detect duplicates, suggest status/tags, recommend priorities
• Generate natural language feedback summaries with recommended actions
• AI sprint planning with strategies: balanced, revenue-weighted, popular, or quick-wins

Tags & Users

• Create and list tags for categorizing feature requests
• List board users who have submitted feedback or voted
• Update user details including monthly spend/MRR for revenue-weighted prioritization
• Sync customer MRR from your connected Stripe account (uses the same VOTESHIP_API_KEY, no separate Stripe credentials needed)

Webhooks

• Configure webhook endpoints on your own project for real-time event notifications
• Supported events: post.created, post.updated, post.deleted, post.status_changed, vote.created, vote.removed, comment.created, comment.deleted, tag.created, tag.deleted, release.published

Public Capabilities (no API key needed)

These tools work without VOTESHIP_API_KEY and only interact with public boards. They require VOTESHIP_PROJECT_SLUG to identify the target board.

• Browse approved feature requests on any public VoteShip board
• Submit feature requests (created as pending, visible only after board owner approval)
• Upvote/unvote posts with a deterministic anonymous identity
• Add public comments with an author name

Workflow Examples

Weekly feedback triage

1. Run triage_inbox to analyze all pending posts
2. Review AI suggestions for duplicates, tags, and priority scores
3. Update post statuses and tags based on recommendations
4. Generate a get_summary for the week to share with stakeholders

Sprint planning from feedback

1. Run plan_sprint with capacity and strategy (e.g., balanced or revenue)
2. Review the AI-suggested feature list ranked by the chosen strategy
3. Update selected posts to "In Progress" status
4. Create a changelog release announcing the sprint goals

Process incoming feedback from Slack or email

1. Use submit_feedback with the raw message text and source identifier
2. AI extracts title and description, checks for duplicates, and auto-tags
3. Review the created post and adjust status if needed

Publish a changelog update

1. List recently completed posts with list_posts filtered by COMPLETE status
2. Draft release notes summarizing shipped features
3. Use create_release to publish the changelog entry
