Vibe-coded – Rust CLI to discover LLM-assisted Git repositories

Handy CLI that actually pulls a repo and runs a battery of concrete heuristics — repo age, README keywords/emoji counts, commit velocity, presence of LLM-tool files, and simple commit-statistics — to guess whether code was prompt-expanded. The rule set is intentionally arbitrary and extensible, which makes this a useful starting point for audits or CI checks, but expect false positives and plan to tune or add rules for your context.
