AI coding tools make it very easy to get an app running.

But getting from “it works locally” to “real users can depend on this” is still where things get messy:

I built VibeRaven as an open-source tool to help with that gap.

Instead of treating production readiness as a vague checklist, it scans the repo and creates a mission map of what exists, what is missing, what needs provider action, and what should be verified before launch.

Run it with:

```
bash
npx -y viberaven
```
