Vibesaur

Raise a dinosaur from your git commit quality — not just how often you commit.

Vibesaur lives in the Explorer sidebar: an island pet that reacts when you commit in the open workspace. Local-only — no account, no cloud sync.

Features

• Commit-fed growth — tidy, conventional commits help; junk / bloated diffs hurt
• Living island — walk, weather, hut, campfire, slime hunts (Ruins or Classic map)
• Three playable classes — Kuro, Cinder, and Nami (plus a secret fourth class coming later)
• Star Store — habitat props, repeatable snacks, and costly class changes on a slot
• Home slots — raise more than one pet; unlocking another slot costs stars
• Pet Desk — vitals, contribution graph, and level progress
• Settings + music — playlists and ambient BGM (can keep playing when you leave the panel)
• Levels 1–3 — meaningful progress; your earned level is never demoted if the curve changes

Star Store & Home

Spend ✦ stars you collect on the island.

Snacks are consumable — you can buy them again. Hut and campfire are one-time placeables. Class change and slot unlocks are intentionally expensive.

Install

From the marketplace (recommended)

1. Open Extensions (⇧⌘X)
2. Search Vibesaur
3. Click Install → Reload if asked
4. Open Explorer (⇧⌘E) → scroll to VIBESAUR and expand it or Command Palette → Vibesaur: Open Pet

Keep Auto Update enabled so you get new versions from the store.
If you originally installed from a .vsix file, uninstall first, then install from the marketplace — otherwise Cursor will not show the Update button.

From a .vsix file

1. If upgrading: uninstall the old Vibesaur, then Reload
2. Extensions (⇧⌘X) → ⋯ → Install from VSIX… → pick vibesaur-*.vsix → Reload
3. Explorer → VIBESAUR (or Vibesaur: Open Pet)

Still missing after an upgrade? Command Palette → View: Reset View Locations → Reload. Install inside the same app you use (Cursor vs VS Code).

How to play

Every git commit in the open workspace feeds the dino. Only commits after you have a pet count — older history is not scored.

What a commit changes

Name your dino, then hatch the egg with commits (about 25 scored commits to hatch).

Diff size (changed lines)

Commit message

Net HP = size score + message score
Example: tidy + feat: … → +20 · bloated + junk → −6

Short rule: keep diffs ≤ 80 lines and use a clear feat: / fix: style message.

Outside commits

• Long gaps raise hunger; very high hunger can chip health
• Lightning / slime bites can lower HP on their own track
• Slime hunts give a little bonus EXP — they do not replace committing
• Buy snacks in the Star Store when you need a quick HP or food boost

Commands

Privacy

Reads git history only from the open workspace on your machine to update the pet. Nothing is uploaded.
