no-vibe-btw

Temporarily disable no-vibe for one scoped task, perform the task, then restore no-vibe if it was previously active.

Inputs

Text after $no-vibe-btw is the required task description.

Examples:

• $no-vibe-btw add a .gitignore for node
• $no-vibe-btw scaffold a Makefile with build/test/clean targets
• $no-vibe-btw fix typo in README.md line 42

Workflow

1. Validate task

If task text is missing, stop and tell the user: $no-vibe-btw requires a task description. Example: $no-vibe-btw add a .gitignore for node.

2. Snapshot marker state

Run:

was_active=0
[ -f .no-vibe/active ] && was_active=1

3. Disable guard for this task

Run:

rm -f .no-vibe/active

Verify:

test ! -f .no-vibe/active

If verified, state: temporary btw mode active (.no-vibe/active removed).

4. Execute exactly one task

Do exactly what the task asks, nothing more.

Scope rules:

• One task only; no extra cleanup or opportunistic refactors.
• No abstractions beyond task requirements.
• If task is ambiguous or too broad, ask user to narrow scope before editing.

5. Restore marker

Always restore marker if it was active before, even on failure:

if [ "$was_active" = "1" ]; then
  mkdir -p .no-vibe && touch .no-vibe/active
fi

Verify:

if [ "$was_active" = "1" ]; then
  test -f .no-vibe/active
fi

If verified and was_active=1, state: no-vibe is active again (.no-vibe/active restored).

6. Report

Give one short summary of files changed and why.

Hard rules

• Single-task, one-shot behavior only.
• Always restore .no-vibe/active when it was previously active.
• Do not modify .no-vibe/ contents unless task explicitly targets them.
• If user wants no-vibe disabled entirely, route to $no-vibe off.
