Vibecheck – lint for AI-generated code smells (JS/TS/Python)

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, We are the devs behind VibeShift. We have been building this MCP server to put AI coding assistants in an automatic feedback loop. They code, test, debug, fix everything until we have a fully working, secure code. It tests like a real user, copies network/console and logical errors to give them back to cursor. (1 min demo - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bN_RgQGa8B0) We felt this was the natural next step for AI coding assistants. And with new asynchronous assistants like codex, having a plug & play tester makes sure you don't have to spend time debugging and…

    I kept shipping AI-generated code I didn't really trust. Not because the AI was wrong necessarily, but because I had no real way to know if it was right. So I built a tool to vibe check the vibe code. It scans your code and gives it a Vibe Score: Dead Vibe (0-40), Off Vibe (41-65), Good Vibe (66-85), or Immaculate Vibe (86-100). It checks for security issues, code quality, and test coverage across JS/TS, Python, PHP, Go, Ruby, Rust, Java, Swift, and C#. Plus gives real feedback to address! Free to try. Paste your code and see where it lands.
