shipkit-preflight

# shipkit-preflight - MVP Production Readiness Audit **Purpose**: Ensure your project is ready for first users — the essentials that can't wait. **What it does**: Runs an MVP-focused production checklist covering security, data integrity, error handling, UX basics, and legal compliance. Generates `.shipkit/preflight.json` with structured results. For scale/enterprise readiness (observability, performance, operational maturity), use `/shipkit-scale-ready` after you have traction. **Output format**: JSON — readable by Claude, machine-readable by other tools, and the single source of truth for production readiness status. **Philosophy**: With AI dev, building is cheap — but security, data integrity, and user trust aren't. This checklist keeps what matters for MVP while deferring optimization concerns. --- ## When to Invoke **User triggers**: - "Am I ready to ship?" - "Production readiness check" - "Preflight", "Go live check" - "Is this ready for users?" - "Launch checklist" **For thorough mode** (deep code review per partition): - "Thorough preflight", "Deep preflight" - "Really scrutinize before launch" - → See [Thorough Mode](#thorough-mode-deep-code-review) section **Workflow position**: - After features are implemented - Before deploying to production - When transitioning from "it works" to "it's shippable" --- ## Prerequisites This skill aggregates context from other skills. It will route you to create missing context. | Needed Context | Source Skill | File | ...
