Vibe Check

Vibe Check

Run a comprehensive code quality check on the current codebase, looking for common patterns that AI coding agents introduce.

Instructions

Analyze the codebase for the following issues. For each category, search the relevant file types and report what you find.

1. Debug Statements

Search for debug statements that shouldn't go to production:

• Python: print(), breakpoint(), pdb.set_trace(), ipdb
• JS/TS: console.log(), console.debug(), console.info(), debugger

Ignore: console.error(), console.warn(), logger.* calls, and lines with // noqa: debug or # noqa: debug

2. TODO/FIXME Comments

Search for unfinished work markers:

• TODO, FIXME, XXX, HACK, BUG

Skip markdown files and dedicated TODO files.

3. Empty Catch Blocks

Search for error handling that silently swallows errors:

• Python: except: pass or except Exception: pass
• JS/TS: catch (e) {} or .catch(() => {})

4. Hardcoded URLs

Search for localhost/development URLs:

• http://localhost:
• http://127.0.0.1:

Skip test files and config files.

5. snake_case in TypeScript

Search TypeScript interface/type definitions for snake_case property names that should be camelCase.

6. Magic Numbers

In Python files, look for hardcoded numbers > 10 that aren't in constants files.

7. Potential Secrets

Search for patterns that look like hardcoded secrets:

• AKIA (AWS keys)
• sk- followed by long strings (OpenAI/Stripe)
• ghp_ (GitHub tokens)
• Connection strings with passwords

Skip .env.example files.

8. DRY Violations

Look for obvious code duplication:

• Very similar functions
• Repeated string literals (same long string 3+ times)
• Copy-pasted code blocks

Output Format

Provide a summary report like this:

## Vibe Check Report

### Summary
- X issues found across Y files
- Z high priority (secrets, hardcoded URLs)
- W low priority (TODOs, debug statements)

### High Priority (fix before committing)

#### Potential Secrets
- file.py:42 - Looks like an API key

#### Hardcoded URLs
- api.ts:15 - localhost URL should use env var

### Medium Priority (fix soon)

#### Empty Catch Blocks
- service.py:88 - except: pass (silently swallows errors)

#### snake_case in TypeScript
- types.ts:12 - `user_id` should be `userId`

### Low Priority (nice to fix)

#### Debug Statements
- utils.py:23 - print() statement
- component.tsx:45 - console.log()

#### TODO/FIXME
- auth.py:67 - TODO: implement refresh token

### Clean Areas
- No magic numbers found
- No DRY violations detected

If everything looks good:

## Vibe Check Report

✨ Looking good! No issues found.

Your code is clean and ready to ship.

Notes

• Focus on actionable findings, not nitpicks
• Group by severity to help prioritize
• If a file has many issues, summarize rather than listing every line
• Be encouraging - the goal is to help, not shame
