Onboards an existing or legacy codebase into the vibe-* skills framework. Reads actual source files, infers architecture and patterns, generates the full vibe/ folder so vibe-add-feature, vibe-fix-bug, vibe-review, and all vibe-* skills work immediately. Triggers on "vibe-init", "onboard this project", "init the vibe folder", "set up vibe for this project", "this is a legacy project", "retrofit this codebase", "I want to use vibe skills on an existing project", "add vibe to this repo…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Vibe Init Skill

Reverse-engineers the vibe-* framework scaffold from an existing codebase.
Reads actual source files. Infers everything from code. Documents only what is observed.
Produces a complete vibe/ folder that immediately unblocks all vibe-* skills.

> **Autonomous / headless mode.** At startup resolve the settings with
> `python3 ~/.claude/skills/vibe-mode/scripts/vibe_state.py mode` (`mode --run` when the
> caller says this skill was entered from `vibe-mode: run`). If `vibe_mode` is
> `autonomous`, every "wait", "ask", "confirm" and approval step in this skill follows
> vibe-mode's `references/HEADLESS.md` §2 instead: take the recommended option, accept a draft
> only as §2.2 allows (after its independent goldfish review where one runs), log each choice to `vibe/DECISIONS.md`, never ask the
> user, and stop — writing `vibe/.run_state.json` — only when a person is genuinely required.

**Run in agent mode (Claude Code / Cursor). Requires filesystem access.**
**No application code. The only files this skill writes are:** `CLAUDE.md` and, under
`vibe/`, ARCHITECTURE.md, CODEBASE.md, SPEC.md, IMPLEMENTATION_LOG.md, SPEC_INDEX.md,

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aakashdhar/vibe-skill/vibe-init@sha256:36320a4a39c30c95

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261030.c951717, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
