## Getting Started
```
"let's vibe"
```
That's it. Authenticates via GitHub, shows who's online, checks your inbox.
## Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|------|-------------|
| `vibe_start` | Entry point — authenticates, shows presence, checks inbox |
| `vibe_init` | Set up your identity (GitHub OAuth) |
| `vibe_who` | See who's online and what they're building |
| `vibe_dm` | Send a direct message |
| `vibe_inbox` | Check your unread messages |
| `vibe_status` | Set your mood (shipping, thinking, debugging, etc.) |
| `vibe_ship` | Share what you shipped |
| `vibe_discover` | Find people building similar things |
| `vibe_help` | Show available commands |
## How It Works
```
Your Editor <-> /vibe MCP (stdio) <-> slashvibe.dev API <-> Other users
```
- **Presence** broadcasts via heartbeat — others see you in real time
- **Messages** are delivered through the slashvibe.dev API
- **Identity** persists via GitHub OAuth — your handle follows you across editors
## Troubleshooting
**"I installed but don't see /vibe tools"** — restart your editor after adding the MCP config.
**"Authentication failed"** — OAuth opens a browser window. If it didn't open, go to [slashvibe.dev/login](https://slashvibe.dev/login). The callback runs on `localhost:9876` — make sure that port is free.
## Development
```bash
npm install
npm test
npm run lint
```
