Loop Engineering

Production-grade engineering workspace for building, auditing, and launching fast, secure, SEO-ready web products.

This repository is set up as the operating base for Loop Engineering: documentation, standards, checklists, automation, and future application code can live here without becoming messy as the project grows.

At A Glance

Loop Engineering is built around one operating principle: public launches should be fast, secure, crawlable, accessible, measurable, and recoverable.

This repo currently provides the foundation:

• A lightweight website audit CLI.
• Launch-readiness playbooks.
• Security, performance, SEO, accessibility, analytics, and conversion standards.
• GitHub automation for repository quality.
• A clean monorepo-ready structure for future product code.

Status

Foundation repo: ready for GitHub, CI, documentation, audit reports, and future code.

Add product code under apps/, shared code under packages/, and launch/audit work under audits/.

What This Repo Includes

• Production launch standards for traffic, performance, security, SEO, UX, and conversion readiness.
• A high-signal AGENTS.md so AI coding agents know how to operate inside the repo.
• GitHub issue templates, pull request template, Dependabot config, and repository quality workflow.
• Local repository checks for required docs, broken internal Markdown links, and common leaked secret patterns.
• Practical playbooks for performance budgets, security headers, SEO, conversion, architecture, and launch readiness.
• An audit scaffold command for consistent website audit evidence and reports.

Quick Start

npm install
npm run check

The default checks validate the repository foundation without requiring external services.

Create a new website audit folder:

npm run audit:new -- https://example.com

Run a lightweight website audit:

npm run audit:url -- https://example.com

Commands

Command	Purpose
npm run check	Run the full repository quality gate
npm run check:scripts	Syntax-check local automation scripts
npm run audit:new -- https://example.com	Create an empty audit evidence workspace
npm run audit:url -- https://example.com	Generate a lightweight website audit report
npm run lighthouse	Run Lighthouse CI against https://gigworlds.net

Launch Standard

Loop Engineering work should meet these minimums before public launch:

• Core Web Vitals: LCP at or below 2.5s, INP at or below 200ms, CLS at or below 0.1.
• Security: HTTPS enforced, no mixed content, hardened headers, no exposed secrets, safe form handling.
• SEO: unique metadata, valid canonical URLs, sitemap and robots coverage, structured data where useful.
• UX: responsive layouts, accessible controls, clear page flow, visible calls to action, no console-breaking errors.
• Operations: clear ownership, rollback path, monitoring, backups, and incident response notes.

See Launch Readiness, Performance Budget, Security Baseline, and SEO Playbook.

GitHub Setup

Before pushing this repository to GitHub, decide:

• GitHub owner or organization.
• Repository name.
• Public or private visibility.
• License model: proprietary by default here, or open-source if you choose.
• Primary project type: company profile, portfolio site, client audit toolkit, product app, or engineering handbook.

Use Owner Inputs and Repository Setup for the exact GitHub configuration checklist.

Public Repo Note

This repository is public for visibility and collaboration. The current license is proprietary until the owner explicitly chooses an open-source license such as MIT or Apache-2.0.

Working Agreement

Every meaningful change should answer three questions:

1. What user, business, or operational problem does this solve?
2. How was it verified?
3. What risk does it introduce or reduce?
