@profullstack/sh1pt-policy

Store-policy linter for sh1pt — catches rejections before submission.

🌐 Homepage: https://sh1pt.com 📦 Source: https://github.com/profullstack/sh1pt

Every store, registry, and CDN has its own submission rules. App Store rejects titles containing "free" or "beta". Google Play flags apps that ask for non-essential permissions. npm banishes packages with duplicate titles or spam keywords. Chrome Web Store kills submissions with placeholder bundle IDs.

sh1pt runs this linter before every ship so the rejection happens on your laptop, not after a 3-day review queue.

Install

pnpm add @profullstack/sh1pt-policy

Usage

You usually won't import this directly — @profullstack/sh1pt runs lint() automatically in sh1pt promote ship and sh1pt ship lint. For programmatic use:

import { lint } from '@profullstack/sh1pt-policy';
import type { Manifest } from '@profullstack/sh1pt-core';

const result = await lint(manifest, { strict: true });
if (result.errors.length > 0) {
  for (const e of result.errors) {
    console.error(`${e.rule}: ${e.message} (${e.target ?? 'all targets'})`);
  }
  process.exit(1);
}

What it catches

• Banned keywords — "free", "best", "#1", etc. (App Store), emoji-overload titles (HN), all-caps (most stores)
• Identifier collisions — duplicate bundle ids, npm names already taken, Chrome extension IDs
• Spammy submission rate — more than N submissions/day to the same store triggers a soft rate-limit you should respect, or a permanent ban if you don't
• Invalid bundle IDs / reverse-DNS format — com.example.app is fine, myapp is not
• Missing required fields — privacy policy URL, support email, screenshots per platform
• Description/title length limits per platform
• Prohibited targeting (Reddit Ads has a long list, TikTok has a different one)

The policy linter ships with rule packs for every adapter sh1pt supports — contributors add rules as they learn them from real store rejections across the customer base.
