vibe-brain

vibe-brain is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from v0lka/skills. It costs 67 tokens per session (2,331 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-reading assistant that examines code, documentation, memory, and unfinished work to choose one highest-priority task. It is intended for developers who want help deciding what to work on next.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when asking for the next task, the top priority, or a recommendation about what to work on today.
Why use it?
It reduces the time spent sorting through TODOs, skipped tests, deprecated code, and other signs of pending work.

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.

Opus 5 $0.00034 $0.01166

Security

Grade A, and why

vibe-brain 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 10d 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 — 193 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Vibe Brain — Task Prioritizer

When invoked, do a thorough four-phase analysis and return exactly ONE task: the most impactful thing to do right now, explained conversationally.


Trigger phrases

Invoke this skill when the user says any of:

  • "Hey, what are we going to do today, Brain?"
  • "What should I work on?"
  • "What's next?"
  • "What's the top priority?"
  • "Pick a task for me"
  • Any variant asking for task selection or prioritization

Phase 1: Gather context

Do all of the following in parallel where possible. You are gathering raw material, not analyzing yet.

1.1 Project structure

  • List the top-level directory tree (ls -la, tree -L 2 if available)
  • Read package manifests: package.json, Cargo.toml, go.mod, pyproject.toml, Makefile, etc.
  • Identify the tech stack, build system, and test runner

1.2 Codebase scan

  • Search for TODO, FIXME, HACK, XXX markers across the codebase
  • Search for @deprecated, DEPRECATED, BROKEN annotations
  • Check for skipped tests: it.skip, test.skip, xtest, #[ignore], t.Skip, pytest.mark.skip
  • Look for empty catch blocks, // eslint-disable, # type: ignore, noqa — signs of deferred cleanup
  • Find files with high churn (recent git history): git log --oneline --since="2 weeks ago" --name-only

1.3 Documentation

  • Read README.md, AGENTS.md, SECURITY.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, DEVELOPMENT.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, etc
  • Read any docs/ or project-level specs, ADRs, or decision logs
  • Read open issues if an issue tracker is referenced

1.4 Memory and knowledge

  • Call memory retrieval for project-related memories (project introduction, tech stack, conventions, lessons learned)
  • Retrieve knowledge modules from the codebase if available

Phase 2: Extract candidates

From the gathered context, build a mental list of candidate tasks. Look for:

Signal What it means
TODO / FIXME Explicitly deferred work — the developer already knew it needed doing
Skipped test A test that was disabled but not deleted — likely a known bug or incomplete feature
Empty error handler Swallowed errors hiding real problems
High-churn file Volatile code — may be unstable, under active development, or poorly designed
Missing tests Untested critical paths — high risk
Documentation gap Docs that reference non-existent files, outdated commands, or missing sections
Recent unfinished commit A commit message like "WIP", "tmp", "checkpoint" — interrupted work
Open TODO in roadmap Planned work from specs/roadmap that hasn't been started
Dependency warning Deprecated APIs, security advisories, pinned outdated versions

What ships with it

1 file 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.
