ShipGate Lite

From commit to document — instantly.

ShipGate Lite is a free VS Code extension by MAVPRO Technologies that generates a structured Technical Solution Document (TSD) from your Git commits or branch diffs — entirely local, no API key required.

Features

📄 Generate a Technical Solution Document (TSD)

Select a commit range, branch diff, or uncommitted changes and get a fully structured .docx report in seconds.

🔍 Three Diff Modes

Commit Range — compare any two commits using SHA hashes
Branch / PR Diff — compare any two branches
Uncommitted Changes — document staged or unstaged local changes (works even on brand-new repos with no commits)

📋 Seven-Section TSD Structure

#	Section
1	Cover & Metadata (project, version, date, author, environment)
2	Executive Summary (files changed, insertions, deletions, commits)
3	Commit History (hash, author, date, message)
4	Impacted Modules (per-module change summary)
5	File-Level Change Detail (path, change type, line diff, description)
6	Risk Assessment (auto-detected flags with severity)
7	Deployment Checklist & Sign-off

⚠️ Auto Risk Detection

ShipGate Lite automatically flags risky changes:

🔴 High — Database schema changes, authentication/secrets, security policy
🟡 Medium — Infrastructure/deployment, environment config, background jobs, third-party integrations
