Production QA Validator Skill

The end-to-end launch checklist for fullstack Next.js apps. Run this before every production deployment or after any major change.

---

When to Use

• Use before deploying a vibe-coded or fast-built app to production.
• Use when validating build output, SEO tags, sitemap routes, API routes, git diff cleanliness, and post-deploy smoke checks.
• Use when you need a concrete definition of done for release readiness across code, runtime behavior, and public URLs.

The Full Validation Command Sequence

Run in order — stop and fix on any failure before continuing:

# 1. TypeScript — catches type errors and broken imports
npx tsc --noEmit

# 2. Custom validation scripts (if present)
npm run validate 2>/dev/null || echo "No validate script"

# 3. Canonical/SEO linting (if present)
npm run lint:canon 2>/dev/null || echo "No canon lint"
npm run lint:anchors 2>/dev/null || echo "No anchor lint"  
npm run lint:links 2>/dev/null || echo "No link lint"

# 4. ESLint
npx eslint . --ext .js,.jsx,.ts,.tsx --max-warnings 0

# 5. Tests
npm test -- --runInBand --passWithNoTests

# 6. Production build — the final arbiter
npm run build

All 6 must pass before committing.

Reading the Build Output

npm run build 2>&1 | tee build.log

# Check for errors
grep -i "error\|failed\|cannot" build.log | grep -v "no errors"

# Check static page count
grep "Static pages\|○\|●" build.log | tail -5
