vibe-coded

vibe-coded is a simple Rust utility that determines if a repository is genuine human work or just a simple prompt expansion. It clones a target repository and runs a set of rules against it to see if it passes the vibe check.

Installation

From Source

If you have Rust installed, you can build it yourself:

cargo install --path .

Usage

It takes just one argument - the path to the repository you want to check:

vibe-coded https://github.com/exlee/vibe-coded

The Vibe (Philosophy & Rules)

It is getting harder to figure out if code is someone's crafted work or a simple prompt expansion. This tool runs heuristics to measure the "soul" of the project.

The rules are arbitrary by design.

If you are wondering if a specific rule or check belongs here, the answer is likely "yes." Don't hesitate to make a request or submit a PR. The goal is to define "vibe coded" together, so if you feel it, you can add it (or request).
