Purpose
Drive the Vibe workflow deterministically for a target repository.
This skill uses .vibe/STATE.md and .vibe/PLAN.md to recommend the next loop prompt and to validate invariants.
Inputs
- •Repo root path (default: current working directory)
- •Optional:
--strictvalidation for CI-grade checks
Scripts
- •
scripts/agentctl.py - •
scripts/vibe_next_and_print.py
How to use
- •Show current status:
- •Run:
python3 scripts/agentctl.py --repo-root . --format json status
- •Run:
- •Recommend next loop:
- •Run:
python3 scripts/agentctl.py --repo-root . --format json next
- •Run:
- •Recommend next loop using a named workflow (for example
workflows/continuous-refactor.yaml):- •Run:
python3 scripts/agentctl.py --repo-root . --format json next --workflow continuous-refactor - •Pass the workflow file stem (
continuous-refactor), not the.yamlfilename.
- •Run:
- •Validate invariants:
- •Run:
python3 scripts/agentctl.py --repo-root . --format json validate - •Strict mode (recommended in CI): add
--strict
- •Run:
- •Record loop completion from emitted LOOP_RESULT:
- •Run:
python3 scripts/agentctl.py --repo-root . --format json loop-result --line 'LOOP_RESULT: {...}'
- •Run:
- •Print the next loop prompt body directly:
- •Run:
python3 scripts/vibe_next_and_print.py --repo-root . --show-decision - •The helper uses the same CODEX_HOME-aware layout detection as
tools/bootstrap.pyso it works from both repo trees and global installs.
- •Run:
Intended usage pattern
- •Run
nextto obtainrecommended_prompt_id. - •Use the
vibe-promptsskill to print the corresponding prompt body. - •Execute that prompt loop in the agent session.
- •Record LOOP_RESULT via
agentctl loop-result. - •Select next loop from
next. Repeat until dispatcher returns stop or blocking.
The vibe_next_and_print.py helper wraps agentctl.py and prompt_catalog.py, prints the decision JSON (when --show-decision is set), and then emits the prompt body from the catalog. It locates the installed vibe-prompts skill via the same CODEX_HOME-aware logic as tools/bootstrap.py so it works from both repo sources and global installs.
This skill intentionally does not implement product code by itself; it selects and gates the next action.
