CodeVibes - Free AI code auditor that explains security vulnerabilities before they hit production
Three months ago I shipped a feature in 3 hours using AI. Would've taken 2 weeks by hand. Felt unstoppable.
Last week I actually read that code. API keys hardcoded in React. SQL injection vulnerabilities everywhere. Auth that randomly just doesn't check credentials.
Professional code review tools exist but they cost $15-50/month. I'm a student so that wasn't happening.
Built CodeVibes instead. Free and open source.
What it does:
Scans your codebase for security issues using DeepSeek v3.2 Reasoner
Explains WHY vulnerabilities are dangerous, not just that they exist
Priority scanning hits critical files first so you see issues in seconds
Real-time streaming shows problems as they're found
Vibe Score gives you a 0-100 health metric for your entire codebase
One-click GitHub OAuth for public and private repos
Your code stays in the session, nothing gets stored
Why I built this:
CodeRabbit research shows AI-generated code has 1.7x more bugs than human code. We're all moving faster with AI but nobody's checking what we're actually deploying.
Security tools shouldn't be paywalled. If you're bootstrapping or learning to code, you need this just as much as enterprises do.
What makes it different:
Most linters catch syntax issues. CodeVibes catches the stuff that causes 2am production incidents. Hardcoded secrets, injection vulnerabilities, broken auth logic, insecure API calls.
Current stats:
50+ repos analyzed in beta
45 secs -1 min average scan time
Found critical vulnerabilities in 68% of AI-assisted codebases
Still early. Working on auto-fix suggestions, Claude Sonnet integration, and CI/CD hooks. Contributions welcome.
The future isn't AI or no AI. It's AI with guardrails or production incidents.

Would love your feedback on what security checks matter most to you.
