Your AI follows the rules

Point your AI agent to standards/. It follows the rules on every generated change.

"Follow the rules in standards/"

Every critical gap covered.

Readable standards for humans and AI agents. Clear rules, practical checks, and fewer production surprises.

Built for teams shipping real software.

Use it as your baseline policy layer. Your team and AI get the same standards in every repo.

💡

Non-technical founders

Ship faster with AI while keeping a clear quality baseline for security, reliability, and docs.

👤

Solo developers

Get production-ready standards quickly without weeks of policy writing.

🤖

AI-first teams

Give AI agents guardrails so generated features follow your standards by default.

🚀

Startup engineers

Set a strong baseline before your first customer review, security audit, or enterprise deal.

📦

Open source maintainers

Align contributors around shared standards without maintaining a giant policy handbook.

📋

Compliance-bound teams

Start with structured policies for compliance and due diligence, then adapt to your org.

You don't need to know the rules.
Your AI does.

AI tools build quickly, but without guardrails they miss important checks.

ProdReady puts standards in your repo so agents can follow them consistently on every change.

"Before writing any code, read all the files in the standards/ folder and follow every rule in them.

Then run npx @chrisadolphus/prodready audit --fail-on high --min-score 85 --require-core before shipping."

Security Score 0 / 100

Core commands + enforcement modes.

Use simple defaults locally, then enforce quality in CI with explicit pass/fail thresholds.

npx @chrisadolphus/prodready audit

Run a readable audit locally, or add --format json for CI and automation.

npx @chrisadolphus/prodready init --auto

Auto-select standards for your project profile. You can also use --only or --exclude for manual control.

npx @chrisadolphus/prodready audit --fail-on high --min-score 85 --require-core

Enforce CI gates. Fail builds when severity, score, or core-standard requirements are missed.

npx @chrisadolphus/prodready check

Check which installed standards are current and which need updates.

Your next project ships the right way.

Free and open source. Start with one command, then scale to enforceable CI checks.
