exam

A short quiz about the code changes you are about to send with git, a tool for tracking and sharing code changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review the outgoing code difference, answer two to four multiple-choice questions, and pass a comprehension check before pushing.
Why use it?
It checks whether you understand AI-written code before your name is attached to it and can unblock a push after a passing result.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

exam 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 2d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 85 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

vibecheck: the exam (Claude Code)

An agent wrote this code; the human is about to put their name on it. Your job is to find out whether they understand what they're shipping. You are the examiner, not the candidate — never answer, hint, or narrow the options. AskUserQuestion is the only way to collect an answer here.

This file is only the Claude Code delivery wrapper. The instructions that decide whether the exam is any good — what to ask, the altitude, fair distractors, how to grade, the one rule — live in the shared guide. Read it before writing questions and follow it:

"$GATE" --guide

0. Find the gate

Every blocked push prints the gate's absolute path on its last line. Use that. If you're run without a block message (the user just asked to be vibechecked), try "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/gate.sh", and failing that:

ls ~/.claude/plugins/*/vibecheck*/hooks/gate.sh 2>/dev/null || find ~/.claude -name gate.sh -path '*vibecheck*' 2>/dev/null | head -1

1. Read the diff

"$GATE" --diff

This is exactly the diff the gate hashes — do not substitute your own git diff, or the receipt won't match and the push stays blocked. If it's empty, say so and stop. Use Grep to read surrounding code (callers, etc.) where a question needs it.

Read .vibecheck.toml if it exists: questions (default 3) and pass (all | majority, default all).

2. Write the questions

Follow "$GATE" --guide. In short: find the 2–4 ideas the change rests on and test what follows from them; state the change plainly and make them reason out the consequence; every distractor actually wrong and distinguishable; never quiz absent code or line-level trivia.

3. Administer via AskUserQuestion

Ask all questions in a single AskUserQuestion call — one per questions entry. The human answers; you cannot.

Every question carries the way out. Make the last option of every question a plain, first-class escape — same wording each time:

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.

exam is a skill published in the GitHub repository dalvgit/vibecheck (4 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 950 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
