vibe-coding

vibe-coding is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Exploration-labs/Nates-Substack-Skills. It costs 71 tokens per session (5,272 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A guide to building software with AI by describing the desired application in natural language. It covers common AI coding tools such as Lovable, Cursor, Replit, and Bolt.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define an MVP, write better prompts, choose an AI coding tool, plan the application structure, and review the risks of AI-generated code.
Why use it?
It helps turn a broad idea into a manageable first version and highlights common mistakes before code is generated. It also supports decisions about scope and application structure.

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

vibe-coding 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 5d 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.

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
