What problem does it solve?
Hydration of a project bridges the gap between DoU findings and a market-ready surface by generating missing governance and packaging artifacts, plus a presentable external-facing presence.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Repository Hydration: Generate LICENSE, CONTRIBUTING.md, CHANGELOG.md, SECURITY.md, and CI workflows tailored to the project language and toolchain.
- Distribution Hydration: Create release artifacts, install scripts, Homebrew formula, and prebuilt binaries to make the product installable without a dev toolchain.
- Discoverability Hydration: Add SEO-friendly metadata, pre-rendering or SSR strategies, robots.txt, and sitemap.xml to improve discoverability.
- Commercial Surface Hydration: Produce landing page content and marketplace-ready copy or listings to surface the product to customers.
- Onboarding Hydration: Provide quick-start guides and introductory flows to help new users onboard rapidly.
