🎮 VibeLign — Safety Guard for AI Coding

VibeLign (vibelign) is an AI coding safety CLI for vibe coding workflows. It helps developers and non-developers protect project structure, save checkpoints, undo bad AI edits, manage anchors, and block secret leaks before commit.

Documentation: https://yesonsys03-web.github.io/VibeLign/
Repository: https://github.com/yesonsys03-web/VibeLign

Releases: https://github.com/yesonsys03-web/VibeLign/releases

Sound familiar?

• You asked AI to add a small feature — it rewrote the entire file
• All code ended up in main.py — 1000+ lines, impossible to manage
• AI touched other files and now nothing works
• You want to undo but don't know how

That's why we made this!

pip install vibelign
vib start

🤔 What is VibeLign?

AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) write code fast. But they have problems:

Problem	VibeLign Fixes It
All code goes into main.py	AI organizes code properly
AI does something different from what you asked	Creates precise edit requests
Code breaks and you can't go back	Save & Undo feature

Works with any AI tool: Claude Code · Cursor · Codex · OpenCode

📝 Just 3 Things to Remember

Before AI edits  →  vib checkpoint "before work"    # save
AI broke it      →  vib undo                         # undo
Looks good       →  vib checkpoint "done"             # save again

No Git knowledge needed. Just type vib.

🚀 Start in 3 Steps

# 1. Install
pip install vibelign

# 2. Go to your project folder
cd my-project

# 3. Start!
vib start

vib guard	Check if code is broken
vib ask filename.py	Ask AI to explain a file

File Protection

Command	What It Does
vib protect filename.py	Lock important files (AI can't touch)
vib protect --list	See locked files
vib protect --remove filename.py	Unlock file
vib secrets --staged	Block staged API keys, tokens, and .env files before commit

Settings & Export

Command	What It Does
vib config	Set API keys
vib export claude	Create Claude Code settings
vib export cursor	Create Cursor settings
vib export opencode	Create OpenCode settings

Other Useful Commands

Command	What It Does
vib watch	Monitor file changes in real-time

💡 Recommended Workflow

# First time
vib start

# Before AI edits
vib checkpoint "before login feature"
vib doctor --strict
vib patch "create login button"

# After AI edits
vib explain --write-report
vib guard --strict --write-report

# If done
vib checkpoint "login feature done!"

# If something broke
vib undo

vib start now also enables Git secret protection automatically when your project uses Git. Before each commit, VibeLign checks staged changes for API keys, tokens, private keys, and secret-like files such as .env.

# Check manually anytime
vib secrets --staged
