DeVibe Code
Anti-vibe-coding enforcement. Gamified.
DeVibe is the ultimate "Anti-Vibe-Coding" enforcer for VS Code. It intercepts AI-generated code insertions, completely obscures them, and compels you to pass LLM-powered comprehension challenges before you can use your own code.
Paste less. Understand more.
⚠️ EXPERIMENTAL — DeVibe is in active development. Currently shipping fast and iterating. Join the discord for real-time updates and help :https://discord.gg/Hrg8XMEPK
✨ Key Features
🔒 AI Code Interception
Paste or generate 3+ lines of code and DeVibe instantly detects it, locks the file, and makes the code completely invisible until you prove you understand it.
🧠 LLM-Powered Challenges
DeVibe generates 2–5 context-aware comprehension questions based on your exact code snippet. Question types include:
- Explain — Describe what the code does and why
- Modify — Complete a coding challenge based on the snippet
- Predict — Multiple choice: what happens when this code runs?
🤖 Multi-LLM Support
Choose your preferred AI provider in Settings:
- Google Gemini (Recommended)
- OpenAI / ChatGPT (GPT-4o)
- Anthropic / Claude (Claude 3.7 Sonnet)
Bring your own API key — encrypted and stored securely via VS Code SecretStorage.
🏆 Gamified Enforcement
- Earn XP for every validation passed
- Level up your developer rank
- Maintain your Consecutive Passing Streak
- Compete on the Global Leaderboard with developers worldwide
🛡️ File Creation Sweeper
DeVibe doesn't just catch pastes — it also intercepts brand new files created by AI tools like Copilot, locking them down the moment they appear.
🚫 Git Commit Enforcement
DeVibe auto-installs a pre-commit hook that blocks commits if you have unverified AI code in your workspace. No shortcuts.
🔍 How It Works
Partial Obscuration
DeVibe only hides the exact lines that were AI-generated — your existing code remains fully visible and editable. If an AI tool replaces file content, DeVibe diffs the old and new versions to pinpoint only the genuinely new lines.
Restore Original Code
If you fail a validation or decide you don't want the AI code, clicking Restore Original Code restores your file to exactly how it was before the AI insertion. Your original code is never lost.
Smart Detection
DeVibe detects both paste operations (Ctrl+V of AI-generated code) and inline AI edits (Copilot, Gemini, Claude editing your file directly). Both are caught and locked.
Persistence
Locks survive VS Code restarts. The exact locked line ranges and file snapshots are stored in VS Code's tamper-proof globalState, so restarting won't clear your obligations.
🚀 Quick Start
- Install DeVibe Code from the VS Code Marketplace
- Open any project and start coding with an AI assistant
- Sign in with GitHub or continue as a Guest
- Set your API key via the ⚙️ Settings gear (Gemini, OpenAI, or Claude)
- When DeVibe detects AI code → complete the challenges → unlock your code
- Earn XP, climb the leaderboard, and level up!
