Vibe Vote

Your AI builds. You vote. A would-you-rather game that lives in the dead air of your AI coding agent. While Claude Code or Codex is thinking, settle a controversial take in one tap and see how every other vibe coder voted, all without leaving your editor.

Vibe Vote

How it plays

Your agent gets to work. While Claude or Codex is building, a would-you-rather lights up the status bar. Ambient and glanceable, never modal, no notifications, no sound. Or press Ctrl+Alt+V (Cmd+Alt+V) to play anytime, anywhere.
Tap a side. One tap, that's your vote. Jordan or LeBron? Kendrick or Drake? Spicy takes across sports, reality TV, music, and movies. Pick your topics with Vibe Vote: Choose topics.
See how the crowd reacts. The split reveals instantly: are you with the majority or a rare take? Build a streak and climb levels just by playing.
Soon: get paid. Anyone can pay to put a question in front of vibe coders. Vote on a paid one and you keep a cut of what they paid: 90% as a founding member, 72% standard.

Why it is different

It's not a quiz, it's a vibe check. One tap settles a controversial take, and the instant crowd reveal tells you whether you're mainstream or a maverick. Build streaks, climb levels, top the weekly leaderboard, and share where you stand.

Works everywhere you code

VS Code and Cursor (and other VS Code forks via Open VSX)
Detects Claude Code and Codex running in the integrated terminal

Running your agent in a plain terminal (not inside VS Code)?

This extension lives inside the editor, so it won't appear in a standalone terminal window. For that, use the CLI in a split pane: npx vibevote. Add the Claude Code plugin (/plugin marketplace add zackwhitaker51/vibevote-plugin) so a vote only shows up while your agent is actually working.

Install

VS Code: search "Vibe Vote" in Extensions, or code --install-extension vibevote.vibe-vote
Cursor / forks: search "Vibe Vote" (Open VSX)

Then sign in with Google or GitHub so your streak, stats, and votes save to your account. Sign in before paid voting launches to become a founding member.

Privacy and compliance

Vibe Vote is observe-only. It uses VS Code's official terminal shell-integration API to learn only that an agent command is running. It never reads, proxies, or patches the agent's output, and never touches model traffic, tokens, or auth. The game renders in its own surfaces, uses no global keyboard hooks, and never swallows a keystroke meant for your agent: focusing a terminal dismisses any open vote. OAuth tokens are stored in VS Code SecretStorage, never in plaintext.
