I Built Real Products With a Vibe Workflow. Then I Built the Tool That Builds the Workflow.

Most people talk about “vibe coding” like it is magic. You open Cursor or Claude Code, type a paragraph, and somehow an app appears. That is not how I work. What I learned very quickly is that AI is not bad at coding. It is bad at coding without context . If the model does not know the product goal, the user journey, the constraints, the architecture, the naming conventions, the edge cases, and the tone of the project, it starts improvising.
