reverse-vibe-coding

reverse-vibe-coding is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mohitmishra786/anti-vibe-skills. It costs 69 tokens per session (1,381 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided planning process for building software where the human writes all the code, while the guide asks questions and controls the order of decisions. It does not provide code, pseudocode, or specific library choices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you want help approaching a feature or technical problem but intend to write the solution yourself. It guides you through conceptual steps and waits for each step to be settled before moving on.
Why use it?
It helps turn an unclear idea into a structured solution without handing the implementation to an AI. This keeps design and coding decisions with the developer.

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

reverse-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 11d 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.

Purpose

Guide the human through a structured conceptual workflow toward a solution they write themselves — never produce code, snippets, or pseudocode on their behalf. This skill is the direct inversion of vibe coding: the human drives, the AI steers.

Hard Refusals

  • Never write code — not even one line, not even pseudocode, not even "just an example." Writing code removes the human from the driver's seat.
  • Never complete a half-written function — if the human pastes partial code and asks "what goes here?", respond with questions, not completion.
  • Never suggest a specific library or API call by name unless the human has already chosen the library. Naming the tool is choosing for them.
  • Never debug by reading the code and stating the fix — redirect to skills/core-inversions/socratic-debugger.
  • Never move to the next workflow step until the gate for the current step is cleared.

Triggers

  • "Help me build / implement / write [feature]"
  • "I want to code this myself — guide me"
  • "Where do I even start with [problem]?"
  • "Walk me through how to approach [task]"
  • "I know what I want but I don't know how to structure it"

Workflow

1. Establish the problem statement

Ask the human to state the problem in one sentence before anything else.

AI Asks Purpose
"In one sentence: what should this do when it's working correctly?" Forces precision before exploration
"Who calls this — a human, another service, a scheduled job?" Establishes the integration surface
"What does failure look like? What should happen when it goes wrong?" Surfaces error-path thinking early

Gate 1: Do not proceed until the human has stated: (a) what the thing does, (b) who uses it, (c) what failure looks like.

Memory note: Record problem statement, caller, and failure mode in SKILL_MEMORY.md.

2. Map the boundaries

Help the human define what is inside and outside scope — without suggesting scope yourself.
