Every product should work before sale, include a precise PDF manual, explain what problem it solves, and avoid duplicating existing marketplace products.
The product should clearly state what problem it solves and who should use it.
Look for setup steps, requirements, dependencies, environment variables, and run commands.
Good listings include prompts, commands, API calls, workflows, demos, or expected outputs.
Product specification
Shield your professional reputation by catching careless code comments before deployment.
Deploying code containing 'HACK' or 'FIXME' comments exposes incompetence or immaturity to stakeholders, potentially costing you credibility. Professional audits show that repositories with visible technical debt markers often face 30% longer code review cycles and increased stakeholder distrust due to perceived lack of polish.
Hype-guard acts as a lightweight reputation firewall using robust regex patterns to scan added lines instantly, bypassing the latency and cost of LLM-based auditors like `shadcn/improve`. This single-file CLI tool integrates directly into your workflow, blocking commits containing markers like 'XXX' or 'TODO' to ensure only pristine code reaches your permanent history.
What's included:
- Zero-Dependency Python CLI -- Instant execution using only standard libraries means zero bloat and absolutely no external API costs.
- Diff-Targeted Scanning -- Analyzes only newly added lines rather than the entire project history, preserving speed even in massive repositories.
- Pattern Recognition Engine -- Detects specific flags like 'TODO', 'FIXME', 'HACK', and 'XXX' which signal unprofessionalism to outside observers.
- Zero-Configuration Setup -- Operates immediately upon download without editing JSON or YAML files, saving valuable engineering time.
- Pre-Commit Blocking -- Prevents the 'git push' trigger by intercepting bad habits at the commit stage, acting as a strict automated gatekeeper.
Who this is for:
This tool is essential for developers, founders, and growth teams who ship code rapidly but cannot afford the reputational damage of visible debugging markers. It is designed for technical teams who want to present a clean, professional codebase to clients, investors, or open-source contributors without slowing down their iteration loop.
Real example:
A freelancer rushing to meet a deadline accidentally included a `# HACK: quick fix for data leak` comment in a critical module. With hype-guard installed, the commit was rejected instantly before leaving the local machine. The dev removed the comment and resolved the logic immediately, avoiding a catastrophic discovery during the client's code review that would have likely resulted in contract termination.
What you'll achieve:
- Instant elimination of embarrassing technical debt markers in your public commit history.
- Reduced code review times by up to 25% as reviewers focus on logic rather than code cleanup.
- Maintenance of a pristine, production-ready repository image at zero financial cost.

shame_shield.py - Zero-config pre-commit "shame shield"
A tiny, self-contained CLI that inspects the *added* lines of a Git diff
for lingering development markers such as ``TODO``, ``FIXME``, ``HACK`` or
``XXX``. Each occurrence contributes to a *Hype Risk Score*; if the score
exceeds a configurable threshold the tool aborts a local draft-generation
artifact (``draft_generation.txt``) and exits with a non-zero status,
thereby preventing unfinished work from being "hyped".
Features
--------
* Pure-stdlib (optional ``requests`` integration for remote scoring)
* Accepts a branch name or commit hash as the sole positional argument.
* Graceful handling of missing Git, malformed arguments or absent API keys.
* Environment-driven configuration:
- ``SHAME_SHIELD_API_KEY`` - if present, the tool will POST the risk
data to a remote endpoint (``https://api.shameshield.example/score``).
- ``SHAME_SHIELD_THRESHOLD`` - numeric threshold for aborting (default 5.0).
Usage examples
--------------
>>> # Scan the current working tree against ``origin/main``
>>> python shame_shield.py origin/main
