vibe-help

The vibe-engineering skill router. Skills are normally picked automatically from their descriptions; this skill is for when the user wants to browse, or isn't sure which one fits.

When to Use This Skill

• User asks "what skill should I use?", "help", or "what can vibe-engineering do?"
• User is starting an unfamiliar type of task and wants a recommended workflow
• You are unsure which of two similar skills applies

When NOT to Use This Skill

• A specific skill was already invoked, or obviously applies
• In the middle of executing another skill's workflow
• Trivially simple tasks (e.g., "fix this typo")

How to Route

Ask what the user is trying to do (unless it's already clear), then recommend one starting skill and at most two follow-ups. Don't recite the whole catalog unless asked.

"I'm about to build something new"

→ Before: vibe-research-before-design, then vibe-requirements-validator if there's a PRD → During: vibe-scope-guard, vibe-production-mindset (production code) → After: vibe-quality-loop, vibe-acceptance-gate

"I need to fix bugs / issues"

→ 1–5 bugs: fix directly, then vibe-reflect-and-compound for any non-trivial one → Intermittent / "flaky" failure: vibe-flake-root-cause → 10+ bugs or findings: vibe-gap-closure-loop → Prevent recurrence: vibe-adversarial-test-generation

"I'm reviewing code, a design, or docs"

→ Design or large change: vibe-devil-advocate-review (panel mode for multi-agent release candidates) → Spec compliance: vibe-spec-sync --audit → Docs: vibe-doc-quality-gate · Requirements: vibe-requirements-validator

"I need to test something"

→ Planning: vibe-scenario-matrix · Coverage: vibe-coverage-enforcer → Edge cases: vibe-adversarial-test-generation · Parsers: vibe-fuzz-parser-inputs → Snapshots: vibe-golden-file-testing · Concurrency: vibe-concurrent-test-safety

"I'm committing, deploying, or shipping"

→ Commit: vibe-pre-commit-audit, vibe-spec-sync → Deploy: vibe-safe-deploy · Risky change: vibe-rollback-plan → Publishing drafted or privately sourced content: vibe-publication-leak-guard → Running services: vibe-service-health-dashboard

"I have a lot of parallel work"

→ One-shot fan-out: vibe-parallel-task-decomposition → Integrate: vibe-cherry-pick-integration → Multi-phase project with long-lived agents: vibe-workstream-orchestration

"Is this production-ready?"

→ Audit: vibe-gap-analysis → Close gaps: vibe-gap-closure-loop

"I need to make or record a decision"

→ Research: vibe-research-before-design → Record: vibe-decision-journal → Challenge: vibe-devil-advocate-review

"I want to capture what just happened"

→ Learnings, bugs, patterns: vibe-reflect-and-compound → Handing off, or winding down at a usage limit: vibe-handover-doc → End of sprint: vibe-iteration-review

"Am I actually done?"

→ vibe-acceptance-gate, then vibe-anti-rationalization-check
