# ShipCode

> Move from planned work to implementation with local and cloud AI coding.

ShipCode is the execution layer for Shipyard. ShipCode Local runs in your development environment, while ShipCode Cloud runs agent conversations, repository-connected tasks, tests, diffs, and pull request creation in the browser.

  <Step title="Hand off to ShipCode">
    Use the issue context or ShipCode brief when moving from planning into coding.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run the agent or work locally">
    Use Cloud for remote agent execution, or Local when you want tight control in your own workspace.
