Products that do what Vibecheck – lint for AI-generated code smells (JS/TS/Python) does
I built a CLI that detects patterns AI coding tools leave behind: empty catch blocks, hardcoded secrets, as any everywhere, comments that restate the code, god functions, SQL concatenation. 24 rules across JS/TS and Python. Zero config, runs offline, regex-based so it's fast. npx @yuvrajangadsingh/vibecheck . Also ships as a GitHub Action for inline PR annotations and standalone binaries (no Node required). Why: CodeRabbit found AI-generated PRs have 1.7x more issues than human PRs. Veracode says 45% of AI code samples have security vulnerabilities. "Vibe coding" is everywhere now…

Hi HN, I built *CodeDrift*, a CLI tool that detects bugs commonly introduced by AI coding assistants like Copilot, Cursor and ChatGPT. Over the last year I noticed that AI tools often generate code that compiles correctly, passes linting and looks reasonable in code review but still contains subtle issues. Some common examples I kept seeing: * async `forEach` loops that never await promises * missing authorization checks (IDOR) * hallucinated dependencies that don’t exist * stack traces leaking sensitive information * request data used without validation These bugs often slip past ESLint,…

Security linter for vibe coding: fix vulns as you build

I built SpecMind, an open source developer tool for spec driven vibe coding. It keeps architecture and implementation aligned from the first commit instead of letting them drift apart. With AI assistants writing more of our code, projects move faster but architectural consistency is often lost. Each developer or AI can introduce new patterns, and after a few sprints, the structure becomes fragmented. SpecMind helps prevent that by generating and maintaining living architecture specs directly from your code. It works in three steps: 1. analyze – scans your codebase and generates…

Vibe coded app that enables developers to quickly create so called "rules for AI" used by tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor and Windsurf, through an interactive, visual interface.

Hey HN! I wanted to practice "vibe coding" and see how far and fast I can go by only prompting, without actual coding. I decided to make a simple CLI app that scrapes web docs into a single md file (I was annoyed that LLM keeps writing Tailwind 3 code for a Tailwind 4 project). In just a couple of hours, the CLI app was ready! Then iterated on arguments for another couple of hours. Result: https://github.com/vladstudio/web2llm Then I decided to go further and "productize" the CLI by making a web app for it. Another half-day, and the web app is ready!…

Inspired by a video I saw about someone running GPT-4o in a try/catch handler, I built a server that serves up a completely AI-generated page. In the interest of not blowing up my OpenAI bill too much, I've linked to the GitHub page but the site is hosted on https://vibehttp.com/ or any combination of https://subdomain.vibehttp.com/any/path/you/want.

I’ve been working on Code2Docs, an open-source CLI tool that helps developers automatically generate inline documentation (docstrings + comments) for Python code using AI. It’s built to solve a common problem I’ve faced (and seen often in teams): We code by "vibe" — fast iterations, minimal docs, and then forget what the logic was months later. Code2Docs helps bridge that gap by documenting as you go — without breaking your flow. Right now it supports function-level documentation. Planned features include: - README.md generation for projects - API endpoint docs - Database schema…

I've been using Cursor, Co-Pilot, ChatGPT, Claude and what not since quite some time now, and we are at a stage where we can just "vibe code" whole apps from idea to execution in a few prompts. I tried this personally to create some side projects that solved little problems for me. But I always got stuck at a point where it just goes into an infinite loop of issues and can't solve the issue by itself. Well I'm a developer, so it's easier for me to dive into the code and solve the problem myself, but that would take a hell lot of time to understand all the code AI wrote for me. If I keep…

VibeSolve is an open-source tool that turns a plain-English description of an optimisation problem into Timefold code. Mathematical optimisation is a branch of mathematics and computer science that searches for the minimum/maximum of objective functions, and has applications in transport, logistics, scheduling etc. We are exploring where LLMs can add value in optimisation algorithm development, and where they get in the way. Right now, it works well for rapid prototyping. It does not create production-ready code and requires technical skills to use. It is noticeably better at creating…

Hi HN! I've never posted anything on here before, but this project was too fun to pass up. I've been learning a lot about agents lately, and wanted to see if I could replicate some of the results of Windsurf and Cursor. Generally I love these tools, but when you're stuck behind an "enterprise" firewall, they don't work as well. This sad state of affairs motivated me to understand SWE agents more. Does it work? Yes. Is it as good as Cursor and Windsurf? Not quite, but it's pretty darn close, depending on the model you use. I'm lacking a few features like semantic indexing, MCP support, but…

I built a CLI tool that turns codebases and PRs into diagrams so you can quickly understand how things fit together. Originally made it because I couldn't follow my own AI-generated repos. Just shipped a big update: - Switched from D2 to Mermaid for rendering - Tree-sitter AST parsing + agentic flow instead of raw LLM calls. ~50x faster. - Works on any GitHub repo or PR, not just local - Dropped the web frontend, it's just a CLI now - Published as a pip package Still a ton to improve and I'm building fast. Feedback, issues, PRs all welcome.

Hi HN, Lately Github PRs have been drowning in a flood of AI slop. I’ve been seeing it myself, and I’m not the only one: https://x.com/mitchellh/status/2011819428061855915 I think it’s great that folks are using AI tools to code faster and better, but too many folks are abusing them to make low-quality contributions to public repos. This takes a lot of reviewers’ mindshare. IMO there needs to be a mechanism to flag low-effort PRs with AI slop, so you can just skip reading them. So I built one: https://haystackeditor.com/slop-detector It’s a simple AI…
