Check
Identity
Users can sign in, sessions expire safely, and server routes know who is calling.
Free checklist
Before you launch an agent-built app, check the money path.
Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other agents can produce working apps quickly. Production still requires identity, data, payments, deploys, limits, and support. This checklist keeps those pieces visible before users arrive.
Check
Data
The app has a managed database, migrations are repeatable, and secrets are not in client code.
Check
Payments
Paid actions quote cost first, charge the right wallet, and refund failed jobs.
Check
Deployment
The app has a stable URL, deploy logs, rollback path, and a clear owner.
Check
Limits
Expensive calls have spend caps, idempotency keys, and safe retry behavior.
Check
Support
Errors are visible to the user and actionable for the agent maintaining the app.
Copy this into Codex or Claude Code
Read https://www.settlemesh.io/agent.md.
Audit this app for production readiness:
- auth and user sessions
- database access and migrations
- paid actions and usage metering
- spend caps and idempotency
- deploy logs and live URL
Then use SettleMesh to deploy it with login, database, and payments.Use with Codex
Codex can run the checklist
Paste the checklist into Codex and ask it to identify what is missing before deploy. Then send it to the Codex payments guide for the billing path.
Use with Claude Code
Claude Code can keep it in CLAUDE.md
Add the checklist to project instructions so future changes keep auth, database, payments, and deploy behavior in scope.
Use with SettleMesh
The checklist maps to platform primitives
Login, database, Aev balances, quotes, ledgers, service calls, and deploys are all SettleMesh concepts an agent can inspect and operate.
