Why

Vibe-coded projects ship fast and break differently. The CLI gives you a zero-config, walk-on lane to commit.show's audit engine — the same Claude-grade analysis used in our 3-week leagues, minus the signup, fee, and league commitment. You get a snapshot of where the build sits, what's strong, what's wobbling, and how it ranks against everyone else this week.

Local runs also drop .commitshow/audit.md and .commitshow/audit.json into your repo, so your AI coding agent can read the report on the next turn without a prompt-engineering ritual.

When a project is ready for the full season — Scout forecasts, season ranking, Backstage prompt extraction, Hall of Fame — it auditions at commit.show/submit.

The npm package + command is commitshow (no dot — npm doesn't allow it in package names). Everywhere else uses the brand commit.show.

Install

# one-shot (recommended for trying it on someone else's repo)
npx commitshow@latest audit <target>

# or global, if you'll run it daily
npm i -g commitshow
commitshow audit <target>

Requires Node 20+.

Usage

Command	What it does
commitshow audit [target] [--json] [--refresh] [--source=<tag>]	Fetch + render the latest audit, write .commitshow/audit.{md,json}
commitshow status [target]	Same render as audit, no re-run
commitshow login [--no-open] [--token <jwt>]	Device-flow sign-in via browser approval
commitshow whoami [--logout]	Print the linked account · --logout clears the saved token
commitshow submit [target]	Audition a project (coming soon · needs login)
commitshow install <pack>	Install a Library artifact (coming soon)

Sign in for higher rate limits

npx commitshow@latest login

Opens commit.show/cli/link?code=<6-hex> in your browser. After you click Authorize there, the CLI receives a 90-day JWT and saves it to ~/.commitshow/config.json (file mode 0600). Subsequent calls send the token in the Authorization header automatically.

What changes once signed in:

• Per-IP rate cap goes from 20 audits/day to 50/day
• Newly audited preview projects auto-claim ownership (visible at commit.show/me → MY AUDITS)
• commitshow whoami prints your member id + email

Headless / CI? Use --token <jwt> to skip the browser handshake.

Telemetry source flag

--source=<tag> lets you self-report how the call originated:

npx commitshow audit . --source=claude-code
COMMITSHOW_SOURCE=cursor npx commitshow audit .

Common tags: claude-code · cursor · gemini-cli · codex · antigravity · production-audit-skill · any 64-char string. Drops into the maintainer's admin breakdown so we can see which agent ecosystems are driving installs. Skip the flag to stay anonymous.

Target forms

audit and status accept a positional target that auto-detects:

Form	Example
cwd (omitted)	commitshow audit · infers from git remote get-url origin
Local path	commitshow audit ./my-repo
Remote URL	commitshow audit github.com/owner/repo · commitshow audit https://github.com/owner/repo
SSH remote	commitshow audit git@github.com:owner/repo.git (auto-converted)
Shorthand	commitshow audit owner/repo

Remote-URL mode works from any directory, which makes one-line X posts (npx commitshow@latest audit <their-url>) trivial.

AI agents — read this before invoking. The CLI does not look up projects by name. commitshow audit warp will error: there is no agreed-upon mapping from the word "warp" to a single GitHub repo. If a user asks you to audit something by name, first resolve the canonical github.com/<owner>/<repo> URL (ask the user, or search github.com), then invoke commitshow audit <that-url>. The CLI does a HEAD pre-flight against github.com/<owner>/<repo> before any audit spend, so a hallucinated slug is rejected with a not_found error before we burn Claude credits — but you should still get the URL right on the first try by asking, not guessing.

The AI-coding loop

commitshow audit in local mode writes to .commitshow/audit.md and .commitshow/audit.json after every run. Point your coding agent at them and it picks up exactly what the audit flagged, with no prompt engineering:

You are pairing on <repo>. Read .commitshow/audit.md before each turn.
Pick the top concern and propose a minimal change; I'll run
`commitshow audit` again to check the delta.

For agents: --json

commitshow is built on a simple idea — CLI + stable JSON is the universal contract between agent ecosystems. No SDK, no MCP server, no vendor lock. Any agent that can shell out to a subprocess can use commit.show.

# Human
commitshow audit github.com/owner/repo

# Agent
commitshow audit github.com/owner/repo --json | jq '.concerns[].bullet'

Example agent workflow

"Check my commit.show score and fix anything under 80."

score=$(commitshow audit --json | jq '.score.total')
if [ "$score" -lt 80 ]; then
  commitshow audit --json | jq -r '.concerns[0].bullet'
  # → agent reads this concern, picks a fix, applies edits, re-audits
fi

Auditing someone else's project (agent recipe)

When a user says "audit warp" or "what does commit.show say about Postiz", don't guess the slug. Walk this loop:

1. Ask the user (or search github.com) for the canonical
   `github.com/<owner>/<repo>` URL. Don't invent one — repo names are
   ambiguous and a single wrong guess wastes an audit call.
2. Run:
     commitshow audit <that-url> --json
3. If stdout starts with `{"error":"not_found"`, the URL was wrong.
   Re-confirm with the user before retrying.
4. Otherwise parse `score.total`, `score.band`, `concerns[]` and
   answer the user with those exact numbers — don't paraphrase the
   score.

The CLI HEAD-checks github.com/<owner>/<repo> before any audit spend, so a hallucinated slug fails fast with a clear not_found envelope. The friendly error in the message body explicitly tells you to ask the user instead of guessing again.

JSON shape (v1 schema)

Stable by contract — additive fields don't bump schema_version; breaking changes do. Known keys: project, score, standing, strengths, concerns, snapshot. See commitshow audit --json output for the canonical example.

Works with

• Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf — any agent with shell access
• GitHub Actions — gate PRs on score band or axis scores
• n8n / Zapier — trigger workflows when scores move
• AutoGPT / crewAI / LangChain — subprocess tool node
• Your own script — 10 lines of bash + jq is the whole integration

What's in the report

Top-to-bottom, what each section gives you:

• COMMIT.SHOW masthead · ANSI Shadow wordmark on terminals ≥ 100 cols. The thin rounded ╭ ✻ commit.show — Audit report ╮ strip is always rendered as the title fallback.
• Findings counter · Findings · 1 critical · 1 warning · 3 strengths — scan one line, you know the tone before reading the bullets.
• What this build missed · errors-first box. First concern is ✕ scarlet (highest-impact), the rest are ⚠ gold. Engine ranks them by decision-impact, not by severity tier.
• What it got right · ↑ teal · 3 bullets · for context only. Don't lead with these.
• AI Coder 7 Frames · the deterministic pillar — RLS coverage, secret-in-bundle, API rate limiting, prompt-injection surface, DB indexes, mock data in prod, error tracking. Pass / warn / fail per frame, with file paths.
• Δ since last audit · positive = improving · negative = regressed · null on first run.
• next: hint · one-line nudge to feed --json | jq .concerns into your coding agent.
• Trophy block · score billboard (metallic-gold gradient · ANSI Shadow digits) with the repo slug embedded so a screenshot crop is self-contained. Axis bars (Audit / Scout / Community) sit directly under it as the per-pillar breakdown. commit.show wordmark anchors the bottom-right.

Walk-on auditions cap the Audit axis at 45/50 and lock Scout / Community behind the audition gate; the captions explicitly call this out.
