Release Guardian
Codex-native release preflight and safe-fix for web repos
Release Guardian is a Codex-native release-preflight repository asset for public web repos. It inspects real repository structure, checks practical release basics like metadata, crawl files, README drift, and indexing mistakes, optionally applies narrow safe fixes, and returns a structured verdict through four modes: report-only, safe-fix, blocker-first, and release-report.
Hi Product Hunt 👋
I made Release Guardian for a very specific problem: the messy final pass before publishing a web repo.
A repo can technically run and still be weak as a public release. Missing metadata, missing robots/sitemap, accidental noindex, README drift, weak public-facing basics, unclear launch readiness — those small misses are easy to overlook when you're rushing.
Release Guardian is a Codex-native repo asset that helps with that last-mile check.
What it does:
* inspects a real target repo
* checks practical release-preflight basics
* optionally applies only narrow safe fixes
* returns a structured verdict
It supports 4 modes:
* report-only
* safe-fix
* blocker-first
* release-report
It also ships with a local CLI and self-tests for the four main modes.
I built it as a practical repository tool, not as a vague checklist or prompt dump.
Happy to answer questions about:
* what counts as a safe fix
* how to use it on a real repo
* why I kept the scope intentionally narrow
