Vibe check

🎭 Vibe Check

Audit code for "vibe coding" — AI-generated code accepted without proper human review. Get a scored report card with specific findings and fix suggestions.

Trigger

Activate when the user mentions any of:

• "vibe check"
• "vibe-check"
• "audit code"
• "code quality"
• "vibe score"
• "check my code"
• "review this code for vibe coding"
• "code review"
• "vibe audit"

Instructions

1. Determine the Target

Ask the user what code to analyze. Accepted inputs:

• Single file: app.py, src/utils.ts
• Directory: src/, ., my-project/
• Git diff: last N commits, staged changes, or branch comparison

2. Run the Analysis

# Single file or directory
bash "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/vibe-check.sh" TARGET

# With fix suggestions
bash "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/vibe-check.sh" --fix TARGET

# Git diff (last 3 commits)
bash "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/vibe-check.sh" --diff HEAD~3

# Staged changes with fixes
bash "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/vibe-check.sh" --staged --fix

# Save to file
bash "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/vibe-check.sh" --fix --output report.md TARGET

3. Present the Report

The output is a Markdown report. Present it directly — it's designed to be screenshot-worthy.

Discord v2 Delivery Mode (OpenClaw v2026.2.14+)

When the conversation is happening in a Discord channel:

• Send a compact summary first (grade, score, file count, top 3 findings), then ask if the user wants the full report.
• Keep the first message under ~1200 characters and avoid wide Markdown tables in the first response.
• If Discord components are available, include quick actions:
  • Show Top Findings
  • Show Fix Suggestions
  • Run Diff Mode
• If components are not available, provide the same follow-ups as a numbered list.
• Prefer short follow-up chunks (<=15 lines per message) when sending the full report.

Quick Reference

Command	Description
vibe-check FILE	Analyze a single file
vibe-check DIR	Scan directory recursively
vibe-check --diff	Check last commit's changes
vibe-check --diff HEAD~5	Check last 5 commits
vibe-check --staged	Check staged changes
vibe-check --fix DIR	Include fix suggestions
vibe-check --output report.md DIR	Save report to file

Sin Categories (what it checks)

Category	Weight	What It Catches
Error Handling	20%	Missing try/catch, bare exceptions, no edge cases
Input Validation	15%	No type checks, no bounds checks, trusting all input
Duplication	15%	Copy-pasted logic, DRY violations
Dead Code	10%	Unused imports, commented-out blocks, unreachable code
Magic Values	10%	Hardcoded strings/numbers/URLs without constants
Test Coverage	10%	No test files, no test patterns, no assertions
Naming Quality	10%	Vague names (data, result, temp, x), misleading names
Security	10%	eval(), exec(), hardcoded secrets, SQL injection

Scoring

• A (90-100): Pristine code, minimal issues
• B (80-89): Clean code with minor issues
• C (70-79): Decent but lazy patterns crept in
• D (60-69): Needs human attention
• F (<60): Heavy vibe coding detected

Notes for the Agent

• The report is the star. Present it in full — it's designed to look great.
• After presenting, offer to run --fix mode if they didn't already.
• Suggest the README badge: ![Vibe Score](https://img.shields.io/badge/vibe--score-XX%2F100-COLOR)
• For large codebases, suggest focusing on specific directories or using --diff mode.
• If no LLM API key is set, the tool falls back to heuristic analysis (less accurate but still useful).
• Supported languages (v1): Python, TypeScript, JavaScript only.

Examples

Example 1: Audit a Directory

User: "Vibe check my src directory"

Agent runs:

bash "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/vibe-check.sh" src/

Output: Full scorecard with per-file breakdown, category scores, and top findings.

Example 2: Check with Fixes

User: "Review this code for vibe coding and suggest fixes"

Agent runs:

bash "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/vibe-check.sh" --fix src/

Output: Scorecard + unified diff patches for each finding.

Example 3: Git Diff Mode

User: "Check the code quality of my last 3 commits"

Agent runs:

bash "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/vibe-check.sh" --diff HEAD~3

Output: Scorecard focused only on recently changed files.
