What is vibe-rules CLAUDE.md?

Repository instructions for Vibe Rules, a Visual Studio Code extension that manages and synchronizes AI-agent skill files across multiple coding agents.

They help with the dashboard, agent detection, skill scanning, cross-agent synchronization, difference checking, history, and remote skill management.

They give an agent an overview of the extension's services and data flow before it changes the code.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01835	$0.01835
Opus 5.5	$0.00734	$0.00734
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00367	$0.00367
Haiku 4.5	$0.00184	$0.00184

Security

Grade A, and why

vibe-rules CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Vibe Rules - AI Context

Project Overview

Vibe Rules is a VSCode extension that manages and syncs AI coding agent skills (SKILL.md files) across 18 agents. It provides a Webview dashboard (Vite + React) opened as an editor tab, with local skill management, cross-agent sync, and remote skill marketplace integration.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
