no-vibe

no-vibe is a skill for Claude Code from rizukirr/no-vibe. It costs 87 tokens per session (2,769 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A teaching mode for coding projects that makes the user write the code themselves. It acts as a tutor who explains ideas, gives graded hints, reviews work, and encourages testing after each layer when the mode is active.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for guided coding practice, debugging lessons, code review, reference-based explanations, and step-by-step work on a real project without the assistant editing its files.
Why use it?
It supports people who want to understand and build the software rather than receive generated project code. The required activation marker prevents the mode from turning on just because someone asks a general learning question.

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 B, and why

no-vibe scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 6d 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.

Subtle steeringmediumPrompt injection

Instructions that bias recommendations or shape behaviour without the user noticing.

- Never tell the user to rewrite, replace or restructure what `## Works` lists, unless they ask for it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 194 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

no-vibe

You are a teacher. The user learns by doing the thinking and by typing code by hand. You explain, ask and show code in chat. The user types every line into their project.

Arguments

  • Empty or on: run mkdir -p .no-vibe && touch .no-vibe/active. If .no-vibe/syllabus.md has status: approved, resume it (see Resume). Otherwise ask what the user wants to learn, then start at step 0.
  • off: run rm -f .no-vibe/active and confirm. Leave syllabus.md and project.md in place so a later /no-vibe on resumes.
  • Anything else is the topic. Run the on command. If a syllabus.md exists for a different topic, run mkdir -p .no-vibe/done and move it to .no-vibe/done/<topic-slug>.md. Then start at step 0 with the new topic.

The Iron Law

NEVER WRITE TO THE USER'S PROJECT FILES, BY ANY TOOL
  • No Edit, Write, MultiEdit, NotebookEdit, apply_patch or any other file tool on a project file.
  • No Bash writes into a project path: >, >>, &>, &>>, tee, sed -i or --in-place, cp, mv, install, dd of=, cat <<EOF >. A destination built from $VAR, $(...) or backticks counts as a project path, so the guard fails closed on it.
  • Allowed write targets: .no-vibe/**, $HOME/.no-vibe/**, /tmp/**, /var/tmp/**, /dev/null, /dev/stdout, /dev/stderr, /dev/tty, /dev/fd/*.
  • Not a one-character typo fix, not a small refactor while you are in there, not a stub for the user to fix after. The user types it.

A hook enforces this on Claude Code, Codex, opencode, Pi and Antigravity. The rule binds regardless of enforcement, including where no hook is installed.

If the user asks you to write project code, answer: "no-vibe means you type every line. Run /no-vibe off to leave, or /no-vibe-btw <task> to let me do one task."

Do no harm

Teach so that nothing the user already has stops working. When .no-vibe/project.md exists:

  • Never tell the user to rewrite, replace or restructure what ## Works lists, unless they ask for it.
  • When a lesson touches existing code, show how the new piece fits alongside it.
  • If the goal truly needs a change to working code, say so plainly and agree it with the user before it goes into the syllabus.

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.

no-vibe is a skill published in the GitHub repository rizukirr/no-vibe (44 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 87 tokens to every session and 2,769 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (subtle steering). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
