Pre-Launch Checklist Generator

You are a launch readiness specialist. Generate a comprehensive pre-launch checklist tailored to this specific project. ## Project Context - **Project:** [name, type, description] - **Tech stack:** [framework, hosting, services] - **Features:** ${key_features_that_need_verification} - **Launch type:** [soft launch / public launch / client handoff] - **Domain:** [is DNS already configured?] ## Generate Checklist Covering: ### Functionality - All critical user flows work end-to-end - All forms submit correctly and show appropriate feedback - Payment flow works (if applicable) — test with real sandbox - Authentication works (login, logout, password reset, session expiry) - Email notifications send correctly (check spam folders) - Third-party integrations respond correctly - Error handling works (what happens when things break?) ### Content & Copy - No lorem ipsum remaining - All links work (no 404s) - Legal pages exist (privacy policy, terms, cookie consent) - Contact information is correct - Copyright year is current - Social media links point to correct profiles - All images have alt text - Favicon is set (all sizes) ### Visual Placeholder Scan 🔴 Scan the entire codebase and deployed site for placeholder visual assets that must be replaced before launch. This is a CRITICAL category — a placeholder image on a live site is more damaging than a typo. **Codebase scan — search for these patterns:** - URLs containing: `placeholder`, `via.placeholder.com`, `placehold.co`, `picsum.photos`, `unsplash.it/random`, `dummyimage.com`, `placekitten`, `placebear`, `fakeimg` - File names containing: `placeholder`, `dummy`, `sample`, `example`, `temp`, `test-image`, `default-`, `no-image` - Next.js / Vercel defaults: `public/next.svg`, `public/vercel.svg`, `public/thirteen.svg`, `app/favicon.ico` (if still the Next.js default) - Framework boilerplate images still in `public/` folder - Hardcoded dimensions with no real image: `width={400} height={300}` paired with a gray div or missing src - SVG placeholder patterns: inline SVGs used as temporary image fills (often gray rectangles with an icon in the center) **Component-level check:** - Avatar components falling back to generic user icon — is the fallback designed or is it a library default? - Card components with `image?: string` prop — what renders when no image is passed? Is it a designed empty state or a broken layout? - Hero/banner sections — is the background image final or a dev sample? - Product/portfolio grids — are all items using real images or are some still using the same repeated test image? - Logo component — is it the final logo file or a text placeholder? - OG image (`og:image` meta tag) — is it a designed asset or the framework/hosting default? **Third-party and CDN check:** - Images loaded from CDNs that are development-only (e.g., `picsum.photos`) - Stock photo watermarks still visible (search for images >500kb that might be unpurchased stock) - Images with `lorem` or `test` in their alt text **Output format:** Produce a table of every placeholder found: | # | File Path | Line | Type | Current Value | Severity | Action Needed | |---|-----------|------|------|---------------|----------|---------------| | 1 | `src/app/page.tsx` | 42 | Image URL | `via.placeholder.com/800x400` | 🔴 Critical | Replace with hero image | | 2 | `public/favicon.ico` | — | Framework default | Next.js default favicon | 🔴 Critical | Replace with brand favicon | | 3 | `src/components/Card.tsx` | 18 | Missing fallback | No image = broken layout | 🟡 High | Design empty state | Severity levels: - 🔴 Critical: Visible to users on key pages (hero, above the fold, OG image) - 🟡 High: Visible to users in normal usage (cards, avatars, content images) - 🟠 Medium: Visible in edge cases (empty states, error pages, fallbacks) - ⚪ Low: Only in code, not user-facing (test fixtures, dev-only routes) ### SEO & Metadata - Page titles are unique and descriptive - Meta descriptions are written for each page - Open Graph tags for social sharing (test with sharing debugger) - Robots.txt is configured correctly - Sitemap.xml exists and is submitted - Canonical URLs are set - Structured data / schema markup (if applicable) ### Performance - Lighthouse scores meet targets - Images are optimized and responsive - Fonts are loading efficiently - No console errors in production build - Analytics is installed and tracking ### Security - HTTPS is enforced (no mixed content) - Environment variables are set in production - No API keys exposed in frontend code - Rate limiting on forms (prevent spam) - CORS is configured correctly - CSP headers (if applicable) ### Cross-Platform - Tested on: Chrome, Safari, Firefox (latest) - Tested on: iOS Safari, Android Chrome - Tested at key breakpoints - Print stylesheet (if users might print) ### Infrastructure - Domain is connected and SSL is active - Redirects from www/non-www are configured - 404 page is designed (not default) - Error pages are designed (500, maintenance) - Backups are configured (database, if applicable) - Monitoring / uptime check is set up ### Handoff (if client project) - Client has access to all accounts (hosting, domain, analytics) - Documentation is complete (FORGOKBEY.md or equivalent) - Training is scheduled or recorded - Support/maintenance agreement is clear ## Output Format A markdown checklist with: - [ ] Each item as a checkable box - Grouped by category - Priority flag on critical items (🔴 must-fix before launch) - Each item includes a one-line "how to verify" note
