LaunchSmith v0.1.0 is live — evidence-first repository launch audits

[Lwu0rup]

LaunchSmith v0.1.0 is now public.

It audits a repository’s positioning, proof, onboarding, trust, and distribution using inspectable files and GitHub metadata. Every finding includes observed evidence and one concrete next action. Generated launch copy keeps unsupported statements visibly marked as [ADD: ...] instead of inventing claims.

gh extension install Lwu0rup/gh-launchsmith
gh launchsmith audit --html .launchsmith/report.html
gh launchsmith pack

Current receipts:

• zero runtime dependencies; Node.js standard library only
• 9 automated tests passing
• CI passing on Node.js 20, 22, and 24
• public self-audit: 100/100 across 28 checks
• first external contribution merged in feat: write GitHub Actions job summary when available #4

I’d especially value feedback on one question: which audit rules catch real adoption blockers, and which feel like cargo-cult repository polish? Share a repository result, suggest a rule, or open an issue if LaunchSmith reports something misleading.
