overview
midnight-cli is a terminal-based command-line companion for solo developers and founders who juggle multiple tasks and late-night coding sessions. think of it as a silent co-founder watching over your code, spotting critical risks, and giving you clear, actionable advice before you ship.
whether you’re doing a final prelaunch check, deep production audit, or a quick single-file scan, midnight audit helps you ship smarter and safer. without needing a team or expensive tools.
features
three audit modes:
1. prelaunch audit:
scan your entire codebase before merging or deploying. detect security issues, missing infrastructure checks, and high-risk patterns.
2. production audit:
deep dive into your code, database patterns, server compatibility, and dependencies. perfect for validating production readiness.
3. quick scan:
scan individual files while coding. instant feedback on high-risk lines, unsafe patterns, or insecure dependencies.
key benefits
• prioritized actionable advice: focus on the most critical fixes first.
• clean terminal output: color-coded risk reports (🔴 critical, 🟡 medium, 🟢 safe).
• modular & extensible: add scanners or ai-assisted fixes in the future.
• local-first: run entirely on your machine
• peace of mind: know that your code is launch-ready even if you’re working solo.
example usage:
example output:
tech stack
•language: go (fast, lightweight, perfect for cli tools)
•architecture: modular, local-first, future-ready for optional ai-assisted fixes
•scan engine: rule-based checks for security, infrastructure, and production hygiene
•output: prioritized, color-coded terminal reports with confidence scores
why midnight audit?
solo founders don’t have teams to double-check every line of code. midnight audit gives you:
• confidence before deploying • speed when shipping features • clarity on what actually matters
it’s your late-night wingman, helping you avoid embarrassing bugs, security mishaps, or production failures — all from your terminal.
roadmap:
• phase 1: local cli mvp with 10–15 high-impact checks • phase 2: optional cloud ai for fix suggestions and heavier scans • phase 3: subscription version with risk history, ci integration, and team features
