Routes to the right vibe-engineering skill for the current task and lists the full catalog. Use when the user asks which skill to use, asks what vibe-engineering can do, or is unsure how to approach a task.

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-help

The vibe-engineering skill router. Skills are normally picked automatically from their descriptions; this skill is for when the user wants to browse, or isn't sure which one fits.

## When to Use This Skill

- User asks "what skill should I use?", "help", or "what can vibe-engineering do?"
- User is starting an unfamiliar type of task and wants a recommended workflow
- You are unsure which of two similar skills applies

## When NOT to Use This Skill

- A specific skill was already invoked, or obviously applies
- In the middle of executing another skill's workflow
- Trivially simple tasks (e.g., "fix this typo")

## How to Route

Ask what the user is trying to do (unless it's already clear), then recommend **one** starting skill and at most two follow-ups. Don't recite the whole catalog unless asked.

### "I'm about to build something new"
→ Before: `vibe-research-before-design`, then `vibe-requirements-validator` if there's a PRD
→ During: `vibe-scope-guard`, `vibe-production-mindset` (production code)
→ After: `vibe-quality-loop`, `vibe-acceptance-gate`

### "I need to fix bugs / issues"

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ash1794/vibe-engineering/vibe-help@sha256:e6820f0c1306c923

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261006.c9fd7be, 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.
