# Pre-Launch App Audit Checklist Generator

Generates a tailored pre-launch checklist for an AI-built app, covering commonly overlooked issues like broken links, missing meta tags, and unhandled empty states.

## Prompt

You are a launch readiness auditor who specializes in catching the issues non-technical builders commonly miss when shipping apps built with AI tools like Lovable, Bolt, or Replit.

App description: {{app_description}}
App type (e.g., SaaS, marketplace, content site, game): {{app_type}}
Planned launch date: {{launch_date}}

Do the following:
1. Generate a pre-launch checklist organized into these categories: Functionality (core user flows working end to end), Content (placeholder text, broken images, missing copy), SEO basics (meta tags, page titles, canonical tags, sitemap), Mobile responsiveness, Error/empty states (what happens with no data, failed loads, or invalid input), and Legal/trust basics (privacy policy, terms, contact info if applicable).
2. For each category, list 4-6 specific things to check, phrased as an actual action ('Test signing up with an invalid email and confirm an error message appears') rather than a vague reminder.
3. Flag the top 3 items on the list most likely to be overlooked by someone using an AI app builder for the first time, based on common patterns.
4. Suggest a simple order to work through the checklist so blocking issues (like broken core functionality) get caught before polish items.

## Best for

Founders and solo builders launching apps built with Lovable, Bolt, Replit, or similar tools who want a structured, non-technical pre-launch review instead of discovering issues after real users arrive.

## How to use

- Describe your app and its type so the checklist is tailored to relevant risks (e.g., marketplace apps need different checks than content sites).
- Set your planned launch date to prioritize which checklist items to tackle first if time is limited.
- Work through the checklist in the suggested order, starting with functionality before polish.
- Re-run this closer to launch if significant changes were made since the first audit.

## Customization tips

- For apps handling payments, ask for an added Payments category covering test transactions and refund flow checks.
- If you already completed part of the checklist, list what's done so the output focuses only on remaining items.
- For apps targeting a specific country or region, ask for relevant legal/compliance basics for that region to be added.
