Under the Hood
How RepoReady works
Built for speed, privacy, and signal over noise.
01
File prioritization, not full clones
RepoReady doesn't clone your entire repo. It fetches your file tree, then selectively pulls priority files: API routes, middleware, payment code, environment configs, auth helpers. Scans run in seconds, not minutes.
02
Pattern-matching only — no AI
Every rule is a deterministic regex or structural check. There are no AI-generated guesses, no hallucinated vulnerabilities, no false positives caused by LLM confusion. What you see is a real match in your real code.
03
Severity-ranked findings
Each finding is ranked BLOCKER, WARNING, or REVIEW. BLOCKERs are things that will get you hacked or cause data loss. WARNINGs are serious but not immediately catastrophic. REVIEWs are things worth checking before launch.
04
Pre-written fix guidance
Every finding ships with a copy-paste fix suggestion. You don't need to Google what to do — the guidance is written specifically for the rule that fired, so you can fix it in minutes.
05
Shareable public reports
Every scan generates a public read-only report URL at `/reports/[id]`. Share it with a co-founder, investor, or client to show you've done the work. Reports show top 3 findings publicly, full report for paid accounts.
06
Your code stays private
We store only findings: the rule, severity, file path, and a 10-line snippet around the match. Full file contents are never stored in our database. GitHub tokens are held by Clerk, not our servers.
