vibe-coding

vibe-coding is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jamditis/claude-skills-journalism. It costs 35 tokens per session (1,875 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for building or debugging software with an AI coding assistant such as Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex, Aider, or Windsurf.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when asking an AI assistant to create or repair code. It helps organise the work, control scope, commit working sections, and verify changes.
Why use it?
It gives AI-assisted coding sessions a clear plan, smaller implementation steps, visible progress, version-control checkpoints, and testing practices.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Tool Misuse · line 28
    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.
  • medium Memory Poisoning · line 102
    Skill attempts to fill the context window with filler content, displacing legitimate instructions and safety constraints. This can degrade agent performance or bypass safety boundaries.
    Fix: Implement context-window management that detects and rejects padding or stuffing attempts. Prioritize system instructions over user-injected content.

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 9d 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 coding methodology

Practical strategies for building software effectively with AI coding assistants.

Tool landscape moves fast. This skill was last swept 2026-05-08. The methodology (planning, version control, testing, bug-fixing) is stable; the specific tool names, instruction-file conventions, and pricing details drift quarterly. Treat the named tools as representative, not exhaustive.

Planning process

Start by working with the AI to write a detailed implementation plan in a markdown file.

Scope management: Review and refine the plan, delete unnecessary items, mark complex features as "won't do," and keep a separate section for ideas to implement later. This prevents scope creep and maintains focus.

Incremental implementation: Work section by section rather than building everything at once. Have the AI mark sections complete after successful implementation, and commit each working section to git before moving to the next.

Track progress visibly: Use todo lists, markdown checklists, or inline status markers so both you and the AI can see what's done and what remains. This prevents re-implementing completed work and keeps sessions focused.

Version control strategies

Git is your safety net, don't rely solely on the AI tool's revert functionality.

Branch per attempt: Begin each new feature on a fresh feature branch (git switch -c feature/xyz) and commit small chunks as the AI makes progress. The branch boundary is your "if this goes off the rails, throw it away" boundary, you discard the branch, not your working tree.

When the AI goes down a bad path: Prefer reversible commands. git restore . discards uncommitted changes; git stash parks them; git switch - jumps back to your previous branch. Reach for git reset --hard HEAD only when you've confirmed there's nothing in the working tree worth keeping, destructive commands skip the reflog niceties and can swallow uncommitted experiments. (If the agent has been creating new files, a separate git clean -fd is also part of "really, throw it all away", same caveats.)

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.

vibe-coding is a skill published in the GitHub repository jamditis/claude-skills-journalism (389 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 1,875 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
