## About the product

Iris Code is a local-first code health and enforcement tool for professional developers and engineering teams that want deterministic, rule-based checks for AI-assisted and human-written code.

Key capabilities include:
- **Per-file health scoring (0 to 100)** on save, based on measurable signals such as complexity, file size, smells, and security indicators, with consistent results for the same file.
- **Security and secrets detection** for committed credentials (API keys, tokens, passwords) and common security smells such as **eval/exec usage**, **SQL built by string concatenation**, **insecure randomness**, **weak hashing**, and **unchecked process execution**, with secret values masked in reports.
- **Config-driven quality standards** via a shared **`.irisconfig.json`**, including **Gate Preview** against six presets, plus enforceable **quality gates** that can block pushes or CI builds and report the failing rule, file, and line.
- **AI agent alignment via MCP** and instruction file generation, exposing tools like `iris_check` and `iris_config`, plus writing rules into files such as **AGENTS.md** and **CLAUDE.md** so coding agents follow the same limits.

Available via **VS Code and VS Code-compatible editors** (Visual Studio Marketplace and Open VSX), **JetBrains IDEs** (JetBrains Marketplace), and the **`@iris-code/cli`** for terminal, git hooks, and CI. A **web workspace and cloud audits** are available on iriscode.co.

Target users include teams adopting AI coding tools, consultancies, and organisations that need enforceable standards for code quality, security hygiene, and review readiness.

Notable for privacy-sensitive workflows, Iris Code runs editor, CLI, hook, and CI analysis locally (no source upload for those paths), while offering optional cloud audits that retain reports rather than source code, a useful fit for companies with strict data handling requirements, including regulated environments common across African markets.
