# AdVibing — full reference for LLMs

> AdVibing turns the idle "spinner" moment in AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex) into an opt-in, content-free sponsored line. Users earn up to 50% of the ad revenue their slot generates; advertisers pay a second-price clearing rate for verified, work-gated impressions and clicks. Your code is never read or transmitted.

## What it is

AdVibing is a tool for developers (and anyone using an AI coding agent) that monetizes the otherwise-wasted waiting moments — the spinner and status line of tools like Claude Code and Codex. When you opt in, a single, content-free sponsored line may appear while your agent works. You earn a share of the revenue; advertisers reach a focused audience without interrupting the work.

## How earning works

- Install the CLI (`npm i -g advibing`) or the VS Code extension and opt in.
- While your agent is working, an ad slot may clear via a second-price (GSP) auction.
- You keep 50% of the clearing price (not the raw bid). Clicks pay materially more than impressions.
- Earnings accrue to your balance and become withdrawable after a short hold.
- A single-level referral program pays referrers a share of referees' gross revenue.

## Privacy model

- Ads are content-free and the slot is independent of what you're working on.
- Never read or sent: file contents, your prompts, model completions, file paths, repo names.
- Only counts leave (and AdVibing says so): an install id, an anonymous session id, which ad was shown, impression/click counts, and the app version.
- Impressions are work-gated and verified with signed, single-use tokens to prevent fraud.

## For advertisers

Advertisers pre-fund a balance and bid for the slot. They pay a second-price clearing rate only for verified, work-gated impressions and clicks — reaching developers in a content-free moment, with strict anti-fraud controls.

## Frequently asked questions
