prodcheck
The checklist you wish someone had given you before launch.
4,372 things to check before you ship: security, performance, scale, being findable, and what to do when it breaks anyway. 88% apply to any stack, and 26 products get their own supplements. Add it to Claude Code as an MCP server, drop a review skill into your repo with `npx prodcheck init`, or paste a prompt into any chat window. Whatever runs it cites file:line or answers UNKNOWN. It never marks anything verified. That part stays yours. Free, open source, no account.
Hi Product Hunt,
I was getting ready to launch my own product and went looking for a pre-production checklist that covered everything I was actually shipping: a backend, a web app, native clients, a deploy pipeline, and a set of AI agents with real tools attached. Everything I found covered a fraction of it. So I wrote one, then pulled it out of my own stack and made it general.
It is 4,337 items across five domains: security, performance, scale, being findable, and what to do after launch when something breaks. 88% of them name no product at all, and 26 products get their own supplements.
Three ways to use it:
- MCP server, so your agent queries the checklist directly
- `npx prodcheck init` drops a review skill into your repo
- or copy a prompt from the site into any chat window
The rule I care most about: whatever runs it produces evidence, never a verdict. Every finding cites file:line and quotes the code, or it answers UNKNOWN. Nothing gets marked verified on your behalf, because a model that confidently says "this is fine" is the worst possible output. It gets believed, and the problem ships.
There is a whole folder on the bugs AI coding assistants write, and a section on why AI review misses them.
Free, CC BY 4.0 for the content and MIT for the code. No account, no API key.
I would genuinely like to know which checks you think are missing. Issues and PRs are open.
Small correction to my first comment: it says 4,352 items. The real number today is 4,372. A checklist launch tripped up by a stale number is about right.

Who hunted prodcheck?
prodcheck was hunted by Farzam. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it.
