Understand a cloned project before running it. Detect required runtimes, developer tools, dependencies, configuration gaps, local access requirements, and production risks. Privacy-first workspace analysis.
Installation
Launch VS Code Quick Open (Ctrl+P), paste the following command, and press enter.
DevReady analyses the open workspace locally and helps you understand what is needed to run it on your machine and what should be reviewed before production.
Features
Project type, language, framework, and manifest detection.
Dependency declarations, version constraints, and lockfile awareness.
Installed tool/runtime discovery with bounded version probes.
Environment variable names only, configuration checks, ports, and local service checks.
Access/permission visibility that distinguishes verified, attention, failed, and not-checked states.
Local setup and production-readiness diagnostics.
Optional Problems-panel diagnostics, status bar summary, command confirmation, and Markdown export.
Privacy and safety
Analysis runs in the workspace extension host. DevReady does not upload repository contents or scan results. It does not install software automatically. Suggested commands require workspace trust and an explicit confirmation. Tool version probes use fixed arguments and do not run inside the repository.
Compatibility
Targets VS Code ^1.106.0. The workspace extension host model is intended to support local and remote extension-host workspaces. Virtual workspaces are not supported. Cursor, VSCodium and other Open VSX clients require a published Open VSX entry and compatibility testing.
