If the author doesn’t specifically make a declaration in the readme, is there a way to guess how “vibe coded” a project is?
Like I want to know if there is anyone actually in charge… A human who knows at least how to program their own program.

A lot of this thread is basically saying “if you see high quality code smells it’s LLM generated” which could be true but probably isn’t all that reliable or useful. I’d look for key files like
AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md / GEMINI.md.But the distinction between “this is raw slop with no QA” and “a skilled programmer used all available tools” is probably really difficult to discern without literally becoming the guinea pig yourself or relying on social cues like word of mouth or stars/forks counts (which are also gameable).
