ShipCheck is a lightweight VS Code extension that helps developers estimate whether a project is ready to ship.
Features
Detects Node.js and TypeScript project structure
Checks config, lockfile, and dependency health
Identifies missing build, test, lint, and docs files
Runs configured scripts when explicitly requested
Scores the project based on deterministic release-readiness rules
Shows grouped findings in the Explorer view
Installation
Open the Extensions view in VS Code.
Install the extension from the Marketplace or package it locally using vsce package.
Open a workspace containing a project you want to check.
Usage
Open the ShipCheck view in the Explorer.
Use the command palette to run ShipCheck: Run Release Check.
Use Run Selected Checks for targeted checks.
Results include severity, explanation, and suggested actions.
Limitations
This extension does not guarantee production readiness. It performs local static checks and optionally runs configured scripts only when the user starts a check.
