production-audit

production-audit is a skill for Claude Code from jdanigo/hydraia. It costs 41 tokens per session (1,666 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of production-audit, MIT.

A checklist for assessing whether an application is ready to run in production, meaning in a real user-facing environment. It uses evidence from the local codebase, deployment details, and available tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for pre-launch reviews, post-merge checks, release branches, deployed applications, and questions about what could fail in production.
Why use it?
It helps uncover risks that a passing test suite may miss before launch, release, or deployment.

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

production-audit 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 8d 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 — 208 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Production Audit

Use this skill when the user asks whether an application is ready to ship, what could break in production, or what must be fixed before a launch. This is a maintainer-safe rewrite of the stale community production-audit idea: it keeps the useful production-readiness lens and removes unpinned external execution and third-party data sharing.

When to Use

  • The user asks "is this production-ready", "what would break in prod", "what did we miss", "audit this repo", or "ready to ship?"
  • A feature was merged and needs a pre-deploy or post-merge risk pass.
  • A public launch, demo, customer rollout, or investor walkthrough is close.
  • CI is green but the user wants production risk, not only test status.
  • A deployed URL, release branch, PR, or current checkout is available for evidence gathering.

When Not to Use

  • During active implementation when the right lens is line-level secure coding; use security-review first.
  • For pure libraries, templates, docs-only repos, or scaffolds unless the user wants packaging/release readiness rather than application readiness.
  • When the user asks for a formal compliance audit. This skill is engineering triage, not legal, financial, medical, or regulatory certification.
  • When the only available evidence is a product idea with no repo, deployment, CI, or runtime surface.

How It Works

Build the audit from local and user-authorized evidence. Do not run unpinned remote code, upload repository contents to third-party services, or call external scanners unless the user explicitly approves that specific tool and data flow.

Use this order:

  1. Establish the release surface.
  2. Read recent changes and current branch state.
  3. Inspect runtime, auth, data, payment, background-job, AI, and deployment boundaries that actually exist in the repo.
  4. Check CI, tests, migrations, environment documentation, and rollback path.
  5. Produce a short ship/block recommendation with specific fixes.
