ready-check

ready-check is a command for Claude Code from iampawan/Manifest. It costs 0 tokens per session (995 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A readiness check for product requirements documents, or PRDs—the documents that describe a feature before engineers build it. It reviews a link, text, image, or description and reports whether the work has enough detail to begin.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check frontend, backend, API, data, or infrastructure proposals, including their expected behavior, interfaces, errors, designs, and platform coverage.
Why use it?
It exposes missing requirements early, so developers do not have to chase basic answers or discover unclear scope during implementation.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ready-check scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 87 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/ready-check

Airport security for PRDs. Clear this before handing a feature to engineering — no more dev chasing you for basics.

/ready-check <a JIRA / Notion / Doc / Slack / Figma URL, or "a description">
/ready-check                # no args → I'll ask you the questions directly
/ready-check panel          # (Cowork) open the live sidebar panel
/ready       <source>       # alias

Invoke the ready-check skill. It reads the source, fills what it can, asks you only what's missing, and gives a clear verdict.

Examples

/ready-check https://your-org.atlassian.net/browse/ENG-1234
/ready-check https://www.figma.com/file/<...>            # design-led feature
/ready-check "saved payment cards at checkout, android + ios"
/ready-check "idempotent refund API, payments service"  # pure backend — works too
/ready-check                                             # interview me

Works for every PRD — frontend, backend, API, data, infra. A backend PRD answers the same items the backend way (interface/contract spec, response & error codes, endpoints, downstream consumers); there's no "backend → skip it" path, and N/A only clears with a stated reason.

What you get

  • Not ready → the exact items to add, in plain words, each with an example. Fix them and re-run.
  • Ready → a gate code (RC-…) and a hand-off block with your design link. Paste it into the ticket or the dev thread. Dev grooms only PRDs with a valid code.

Verifying a hand-off (no panel needed)

/ready-check verify <ticket-or-page-link>   # best — nothing to paste
/ready-check verify                          # then paste the whole block

Give it the link and it fetches the ticket/page and finds the hand-off inside it — no copying. Pasting works too, but paste the whole block including every • [id] … line: the gate code is a hash of the answers, so the code on its own can't be checked against anything (you'll get UNVERIFIABLE).

You get VALID / STALE / INVALID, or UNVERIFIABLE if the block wasn't produced by the tool (a hand-written block proves nothing). If it carries a freeze stamp, the PRD and design are re-fetched to confirm nothing changed since sign-off.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
