Hey everyone, calling on users for feedback and ideas on improving Vibe Check.
If you've used Vibe Check and have suggestions, experiences or things to share, would love to hear from you!
Also open to maintainer requests.

This project seems very interesting. My concern is I'm currently using the BMAD method for development, and it uses its own docs architecture file. How might I implement this with the BMAD method? I'm assuming it would overwrite the current architecture file, or am I misunderstanding this?

Hey @Sterdizzy, apologies for the late reply. I looked into BMAD, and to be clear Vibe Check is not a standalone template that would overwrite any higher level frameworks, it is closer to a simple tool call with an API; so it's closer to a web search API MCP than to something like BMAD.
I haven't done a complete dive into BMAD, but from what I can see you can very easily implement Vibe Check as a necessary step at points you personally observe the as the origination of most errors/misalignments.

Since BMAD already seems to have HITL approvals, you may want to look into adding it after human approval of the plan, but before actual development steps begin (basically the way I would use it if I was using BMAD would be to ensure the development plan would be aligned with what I approved).

Another option I see as valuable is for the QA - it's particularly valuable as feedback for QA to ensure the final changes are actually clean before getting your approval.

Where you add it though depends on which you value more: your own approval and oversight vs maximizing output quality at minimal oversight (currently where vibe check shines). Hope that clears it up?
