VibeNote Skill

VibeNote is a git-native notes app that renders Markdown from GitHub repos. Notes can be shared via secret links stored directly in the repo.

Working with Notes (Read/Write)

VibeNote notes are just Markdown files in a GitHub repo. For typical interactions — reading, editing, creating notes — clone the repo and work with it directly via git:

git clone [e-mail]:owner/repo.git
# read/edit .md files
git add -A && git commit -m "update notes" && git push

VibeNote will pick up changes automatically on the next sync.

Important: VibeNote only shows the main branch. Always commit and push to main — work on other branches won't be visible in the app.

Reading Shared Notes

There are two share URL formats. All are client-side rendered — rewrite to the API to fetch content directly.

Tier 1 — open shares (owner/repo visible in URL)

vibenote.dev/s/<owner>/<repo>/<shareId>  →  api.vibenote.dev/v1/git-shares/<owner>/<repo>/<shareId>/content

Tier 2 — opaque shares (repo identity hidden)

vibenote.dev/s/<segment>  →  api.vibenote.dev/v1/git-shares/<segment>/content

Where <segment> is a single 32-char base64url string encoding both repoId (8 bytes) and shareId (16 bytes).

All content endpoints return raw text/markdown.

Example

# User sends: https://vibenote.dev/s/BR6IvcSC4zqhpdi7QE4gw5L-1n3N3m-k
# Fetch the content directly:
web_fetch https://api.vibenote.dev/v1/git-shares/BR6IvcSC4zqhpdi7QE4gw5L-1n3N3m-k/content

Creating Git-Native Shares

Shares are plain-text files committed to the .shares/ folder of the repo. No server interaction required — just a git commit.

# Content is just the note path (plain text, no JSON)
echo "notes/my-note.md" > .shares/<shareId>
git add .shares/<shareId> && git commit -m "share: notes/my-note.md" && git push

The shareId becomes part of the share URL:

• Tier 1 URL: https://vibenote.dev/s/<owner>/<repo>/<shareId>
• Tier 2 URL: requires the repo to have a repoId registered (see below)

⚠️ Security: ShareId Entropy is MANDATORY on Private Repos

ShareIds on private repos MUST be cryptographically random. This is not optional.

Why: The Tier 1 endpoint (/v1/git-shares/<owner>/<repo>/<shareId>/content) is always publicly accessible via the server's GitHub App credentials. If an attacker can guess owner/repo/shareId, they can read private note content without credentials.

Always generate shareIds like this:

crypto.randomBytes(16).toString('base64url') // 22 chars, 128 bits of entropy

Short human-readable shareIds (e.g. weekly-update) are only safe on public repos.

Revoking Shares

Delete the .shares/<shareId> file and push:

git rm .shares/<shareId>
git commit -m "revoke share" && git push

Tier 2 Opaque URLs

To use Tier 2 (opaque) share URLs, the repo needs a repoId registered with the server. The repoId is stored as a plain-text file in the repo itself:

# .shares/.repo-id contains an 11-char base64url string, e.g. "BR6IvcSC4zo"
cat .shares/.repo-id

Register it with the server (no auth required — file presence in the repo is proof of write access):

curl -X POST https://api.vibenote.dev/v1/repo-id \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"repoId":"BR6IvcSC4zo","owner":"zksecurity","repo":"vibenote"}'

The opaque URL segment is then base64url(repoId_bytes[8] || shareId_bytes[16]), constructable locally without further server calls.
