Production Readiness Audit
Is this repo production-ready?
A 0–100 audit with the actual signals behind it: documentation, dev environment, CI/testing, secrets hygiene, and dependency health.
Audit your private repos too? ShipDocs supports private projects.
The Production Readiness Audit scores a repository out of 100 across the things that break teams in production: documentation, dev environment, security hygiene, tests, deployment, and observability.

What does Production Readiness Audit check?
- Documentation: README, LICENSE, changelog, and a contributing guide
- Dev environment: .gitignore, lint and formatter config, editor config, type checking
- Security hygiene: committed secrets, environment templates, dependency pinning
- Tests, CI configuration, deployment manifests, and health-check endpoints
How does Production Readiness Audit work?
- 1.Paste a public repository URL or run the audit inside a ShipDocs project.
- 2.Each category is scored against the files ShipDocs actually finds.
- 3.You get per-check pass/fail with the missing artifact named.
What do you get from Production Readiness Audit?
- • A 0-100 score with a per-category breakdown
- • The exact failing checks and what file is missing
- • A fix list you can hand to an AI agent or work through yourself
“CodeWiki couldn't touch our private repo. Same afternoon we had encrypted docs, a diagram, and chat with file paths. New hire onboarded in a day.”
Frequently asked questions
What counts as production-ready?
- All six categories pass: documented entry points, a reproducible dev setup, no committed secrets, automated tests, a deployment recipe, and a way to see failures.
Is this the same audit as in the app?
- Yes. This page runs the identical audit that a ShipDocs project shows on its Audit tab.
Can I audit a private repository?
- Connect GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket inside the app and run the audit on any repository you can access.
