vibe-check-cli

Analyzes the vibe of any GitHub repo and delivers a brutally honest vibe report.

What it does

Scans a GitHub repo — commit messages, PR titles, issue titles, README tone, contributor patterns — and classifies the overall vibe using an LLM.

"chaotic genius" — brilliant code, zero docs, commit messages like "fix" and "asdfgh"
"enterprise bureaucracy" — 47 approvers required, every PR has a JIRA ticket
"solo founder at 2am" — commit timestamps cluster around midnight, increasingly desperate messages
"over-engineered side project" — Kubernetes for a todo app, 12 abstraction layers
"quiet professionalism" — consistent commits, good docs, nobody is suffering
"abandoned dreams" — last commit 3 years ago, ambitious README, empty src/
