Production Readiness Workflow

Overview

Workflow for preparing a CODITECT project for production deployment. Ensures all standards are met and the project achieves Grade B (80+) or higher.

Prerequisites

• Project repository exists
• Basic structure in place
• Git repository initialized

Workflow Phases

Phase 1: Audit (30-60 min)

Objective: Assess current production readiness.

Steps

1. Run Production Audit

   /production-audit
   # Or
   python scripts/production-readiness-check.py --report

2. Document Current State

   • Current score
   • Grade
   • Blocking issues
   • High priority items

3. Categorize Issues

   Priority	Fix Within	Impact
   Critical	Immediately	Blocking deployment
   High	Same day	Major deficiency
   Medium	This sprint	Should fix
   Low	When convenient	Nice to have

4. Create Remediation Plan

   • Order by priority
   • Estimate time per fix
   • Identify dependencies

Deliverables

• Audit report saved
• Issues categorized
• Remediation plan created
• Time estimates documented

---

Phase 2: Remediation (1-2 hours)

Objective: Fix issues to achieve production readiness.

Steps

1. Fix Critical Issues

   Missing CLAUDE.md:

   # Create from template
   cp .coditect/CODITECT-CORE-STANDARDS/templates/CLAUDE-MD-TEMPLATE.md CLAUDE.md
   # Customize for project

   Exposed Secrets:

   # Remove from repository
   git rm --cached secrets.json
   # Add to .gitignore
   echo "secrets.json" >> .gitignore

   No CI/CD:

   mkdir -p .github/workflows
   # Create basic workflow

2. Fix High Priority Issues

   Missing README:

   /readme-gen --template comprehensive

   No Tests Directory:

   mkdir tests
   touch tests/__init__.py
   touch tests/test_example.py

3. Fix Documentation Issues

   # Generate missing READMEs
   /readme-gen --missing --recursive
   
   # Fix CLAUDE.md if too long
   # (Manually edit to under 200 lines)

4. Fix Organization Issues

   # Move stray files
   /organize --execute
   
   # Fix naming
   /naming-check --fix

5. Commit Fixes

   git add -A
   git commit -m "chore: Fix production readiness issues
   
   - Created CLAUDE.md
   - Added missing READMEs
   - Fixed naming conventions
   - Added CI/CD workflow"

Deliverables

• All critical issues fixed
• High priority issues fixed
• Medium priority issues addressed
• Changes committed

Phase 3: Verification (30 min)

Objective: Confirm production readiness achieved.

Steps

1. Re-run Production Audit

   /production-audit --report

2. Verify Success Criteria

   Criteria	Required	Actual
   Score	≥80	___
   Blocking Issues	0	___
   README Coverage	≥80%	___

3. Final Approval

   • Review audit report
   • Confirm no blocking issues
   • Sign off on production readiness

Deliverables

• Final audit score ≥80
• No blocking issues remain
• Production readiness confirmed
