For AI Agents

ShipScanner is built for the agent economy. AI coding agents can call it before committing code.

# JSON output for machine consumption
npx shipscanner scan owner/repo --json

# Use as a quality gate (exit code 1 if below threshold)
npx shipscanner scan owner/repo --json --threshold 600
