student launch kit / hackathon release gate

Check a student project before judges, users, or maintainers open it.

Upload a project folder or paste key files. The checker runs in the browser and scores the launch trail: README, package metadata, CI, secrets hygiene, demo proof, npm publishing safety, and MCP registry alignment.

problem

Student projects often fail at handoff.

Judges and users need a working install path, clear README, demo proof, safety notes, and no obvious secret or publish-token mistakes.

solution

Local preflight, readable fixes.

The checker turns a project folder into a score and ranked fix queue without uploading code or requiring an account.

impact

Better launches for student builders.

It helps students submit cleaner projects, learn release discipline, and avoid avoidable mistakes before sharing software publicly.

Commercial path

When a quick check turns into a deadline problem, Student Launch Review turns it into a scoped fix pass.
