Good vibes. Verified.
Vibe coding, explained for people who don’t write code.
Vibe coding means building an app by describing it to an AI. Describe your goal, generate, run it, then give feedback. Find a tool for the job, copy a prompt, and check the result. 99 tools. 20 prompts. 60 words.

Rows 1–3: Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2025 · distrust rose from 31% in 2024. Row 4: Gartner, June 2025. Most people are using this stuff. Almost half do not trust what it hands back. Closing that gap is the whole job of this site.
What do you want to do?
Pick the situation you are in. Each path tells you what to open next.
I can code and want an agent.
Give the agent repo context, scope and acceptance criteria. Use a rules-file prompt before you ask it to change code.
Write your project rules → Keep an edit in scopeI shipped something messy.
Check what you can demonstrate. Start with the Vibe Check, then inspect the blockers and the evidence.
Check the app you have → Find the error you are seeingThe loop: describe → generate → run → feedback
Name the outcome and constraints. Give the AI context. Run the result yourself. Bring back the error or screenshot, then repeat with a specific change.
Define what passing means · Ask for evidence · Look up a word
Open the hood: when to involve engineering
If the app handles money, identity or other people's data, get the code, access controls and deployment reviewed. The Vibe Check is a self-assessment, not a security certification.
Word of the Day
October 14, 2026silent regression
[ SAHY-luhnt ri-GRESH-uhn ]
noun
A change that fixes the bug you reported and quietly breaks something nearby that was working fine.
The reason later rounds need the same care as the first. The AI improves the thing you pointed at and has no stake at all in the thing you did not.
