🎭 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 FindingsShow Fix SuggestionsRun 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.

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
--fixmode if they didn't already. - Suggest the README badge:
 - For large codebases, suggest focusing on specific directories or using
--diffmode. - 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.
