Awesome Vibe Coding

Building software through natural language prompts — describe what you want, and AI generates, tests, and ships the code.

Vibe coding represents a paradigm shift: describe what you want in plain English, and AI builds it. No syntax to memorize, no frameworks to learn, no deployment to configure.

What is Vibe Coding? The term was coined by Andrej Karpathy to describe a new way of building software where you "fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists."

📖 Complete Guide: What is Vibe Coding? — Deep dive into the concept, workflow, and best practices.

Workspace DNA: The Living Systems Architecture

The most powerful vibe coding tools don't just generate code — they create living systems that evolve with your data. This architecture, pioneered by Taskade Genesis, treats your workspace as a living organism — not features, but organs:

The Three Layers

Layer	What It Does	Why It Matters
🧠 Memory (Projects & Databases)	Persistent memory substrates — tasks, docs, files, knowledge	Not just storage. Your app's living foundation that every agent and workflow reads from.
🤖 Intelligence (AI Agents)	Minds that read your Memory, reason with context, and act with purpose	Not chatbots. Agents that understand your workspace DNA and execute autonomously 24/7.
⚡ Execution (Automations & Workflows)	Autonomous nervous system — triggers, workflows, 100+ integrations	Not simple triggers. Workflows that fire on agent decisions and write back to Memory.

Why This Matters for Vibe Coding

Traditional vibe coding tools generate code you must deploy and maintain. Workspace DNA creates living systems where Memory, Intelligence, and Execution are already wired together:

• Memory is the backend — Your workspace is the database. No schemas to design.
• Intelligence is built in — AI agents reason with your data, not just display it.
• Execution runs autonomously — Workflows fire on agent decisions and write back to Memory.
• Collaboration is native — Real-time editing, chat, and video across every layer.

"One prompt. Memory, intelligence, and execution — already wired, already running."

Real-World Taskade Genesis Examples:

• Genesis Analytics, Domains & Security — Enterprise features
• Genesis Workspace Intelligence — How apps learn from your data
• 5 Genesis Apps in 10 Minutes — Rapid development showcase
• Anatomy of a Genesis App — Deep dive into app structure

Not Features. Organs.

Projects are not documents. Agents are not chatbots. Automations are not triggers.

Most tools give you features. Taskade Genesis gives you a system that remembers, reasons, and moves on its own.

The Taskade Genesis Loop

Every Taskade Genesis app runs a self-reinforcing cycle:

What One Prompt Builds

Example: "Build a customer feedback portal with AI scoring"

Step	Layer	What Happens
1	🧠 Memory	Creates Feedback Inbox, Sentiment Log, and Response Templates as smart databases
2	🤖 Intelligence	Deploys a Scoring Agent — reads every submission, classifies sentiment, assigns priority
3	⚡ Execution	Fires Slack alert on negative feedback, auto-categorizes by topic, sends follow-up email
4	🔄 Loop	Agent results write back to Memory → system learns patterns → responses improve over time

More examples:

Use Case	Build Time	What You Get
Restaurant feedback system	~3 min	Collect reviews, Slack alerts for ratings below 4 stars, auto-respond
Yoga studio booking	~5 min	Calendar sync, payments, automatic class confirmations
Freelancer CRM	~5 min	Pipeline tracking, follow-up emails, deal stage automations
Inventory tracker	~7 min	Stock levels, auto-email suppliers when products run low
Business-in-a-Box	~15 min	CRM + Finance + Support + Content + Client Portal — all connected

MCP Design Principles

Best practices for building MCP servers that agents can actually use. Based on Jeremiah Lowin's research and practitioner experience.

Principle	What To Do	Why It Matters
Design for outcomes	Name tools by what they achieve (get_customer_status), not HTTP operations (post_api_v2_customers)	Agents think in goals, not API specs. Outcome-oriented tools get selected more reliably.
Flatten arguments	Use simple, flat parameters instead of nested JSON schemas	Nested objects confuse agents. Flat args = fewer hallucinated parameters.
Keep tool count under 50	Curate ruthlessly. Remove tools agents never select.	Performance degrades sharply above ~50 tools. Less is more for agent accuracy.
Errors are prompts	Return helpful error messages that guide the agent to self-correct	"Missing required field: customer_id (use list_customers to find it)" > "400 Bad Request"
Don't auto-convert OpenAPI	Hand-design agent-facing tools instead of auto-generating from REST specs	Auto-generated servers inherit REST assumptions that confuse agents.

Anti-patterns to avoid: Kitchen-sink servers with 200+ tools, nested JSON schemas, generic CRUD wrappers, and treating MCP as "REST with extra steps." Start with FastMCP to build MCP servers the right way.

Best Practices & Workflows

Practical techniques for effective vibe coding, sourced from practitioners and the developer community.

Prompting Techniques

Strategies for getting better results from AI coding tools.

Technique	Description	Source
Pseudocode-First	Write pseudocode or step-by-step logic before asking AI to implement. Reduces errors and gives AI clear intent.	HN Community
Progressive Prompting	Start with high-level architecture, then drill into components. Don't try to build everything in one prompt.	AI Prompting Guide →
Function-Signature Method	Define function signatures and types first, then ask AI to implement the bodies. Type safety guides the AI.	HN Community
Doc Embedding	Paste documentation snippets into your prompt so the AI uses the correct APIs and conventions.	Practitioner consensus
Test-First Prompting	Write tests before asking AI to implement code. Tests become the specification.	HN Mega-Thread

Session & Context Management

Keep AI productive across long coding sessions.

Practice	Description	Source
Preserve Session Logs	Configure cleanupPeriodDays: 99999 in Claude Code to keep JSONL logs. Link sessions to git commits for auditability.	Simon Willison
Know When to Reset	Start fresh when you notice "context rot" — AI repeating mistakes or losing track of the codebase. Time-box sessions.	Armin Ronacher
DISCOVERIES.md Pattern	Keep a retrospective file of approaches that failed and why. Feed it to new sessions so the AI doesn't repeat mistakes.	HN Mega-Thread
Checkpoint with Git	Commit frequently before asking AI to make large changes. Makes it easy to revert if the AI goes off track.	Practitioner consensus
Split Complex Tasks	Break work into small, focused tasks rather than asking for everything at once. Each task = one clear objective.	Multi-Agent Best Practices →

Code Quality & Review

Maintain quality when AI generates your code.

Practice	Description	Source
Always Review Diffs	Never blindly accept AI-generated code. Read every diff, especially security-sensitive changes.	Armin Ronacher
Steering Files	Use .cursorrules, AGENTS.md, or CLAUDE.md to set coding standards, conventions, and constraints.	Documentation & Templates
Lock Dependencies	Specify exact versions in your steering files. AI may suggest outdated or incompatible package versions.	Practitioner consensus
Run Tests Before & After	Always run your test suite before and after AI modifications. Catch regressions immediately.	Practitioner consensus

Harness Engineering

The 2026 meta-skill: designing the scaffolding around AI models for maximum agent effectiveness.

Principle	What It Means	Source
Fewer tools > more tools	Agent accuracy drops sharply above ~50 tools. Generic tools (bash, file read/write) outperform specialized ones.	Practitioner consensus
File system as memory	Use markdown files (CLAUDE.md, DISCOVERIES.md) as persistent memory instead of complex databases. Agents read files naturally.	Documentation & Templates
Verify, don't trust	Always validate agent output. Plan mode achieves 2-3x higher success on complex tasks. Diff review and test suites are non-negotiable.	Practitioner consensus
Context > prompts	Progressive context disclosure (agents discover context via --help, file reading) beats pre-loaded mega-prompts.	Claude Code Docs
Simplify relentlessly	Each model generation makes simpler harnesses more effective. Complexity you add today becomes drag tomorrow.	The Bitter Lesson

Key insight: "The model is no longer the bottleneck. The harness is." — The best vibe coders in 2026 aren't prompt engineers; they're harness engineers.

Context Engineering

The evolution beyond prompt engineering — designing the information architecture that surrounds AI agents. Context Engineering Guide →

Technique	Description	Source
Steering Files	CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, AGENTS.md — project-level context that persists across sessions. The most impactful single change you can make.	Documentation & Templates
Progressive Disclosure	Don't dump everything into the prompt. Let agents discover context via file reading, --help, and tool exploration.	Claude Code Docs
Context Budgeting	Allocate context window strategically: 40% task, 30% codebase, 20% examples, 10% constraints. Measure what gets cut.	Practitioner consensus
Knowledge Graphs as Context	Feed structured relationships (not just documents) to agents. DISCOVERIES.md, architecture diagrams, dependency maps.	HN Mega-Thread

Taskade Genesis shortcut: Workspace DNA is context engineering — your projects, agents, and workflows form a persistent knowledge graph that every app reads from automatically.

Spec-Driven Development

Write specifications first, then let agents implement. Rigor migrates from code review to specs and tests.

Technique	Description	Source
TDD as Specification	Write tests before asking agents to implement. Tests prevent agents from "cheating" by writing code that passes trivially.	HN Mega-Thread
Risk Tiering	Match verification effort to blast radius. Low-risk (UI copy) → quick review. High-risk (auth, payments) → full test suite + manual review.	Practitioner consensus
Decision Tables	For complex business logic, define all input/output combinations in a table before implementing. Agents excel at table-to-code.	Practitioner consensus

Vibe Coding Philosophies

Two distinct approaches have emerged in the vibe coding community, each valuable for different scenarios.

Exploration vs. Production

Approach	When to Use	Mindset	Outcome
Exploration Mode	New projects, prototyping, learning	"Let AI surprise me. I'll evaluate results."	Fast iteration, creative solutions, rapid learning
Production Mode	Existing codebases, critical systems	"I know what I want. AI helps me build it faster."	Predictable output, maintainable code, team alignment

Key Insight: The same tools work differently depending on your mode. In exploration, you give AI freedom to architect. In production, you provide constraints and specifications.

Agentic Workflows

The evolution from code assistance to autonomous agents represents a fundamental shift in how we build software.

The Spectrum:

1. Code Completion (Copilot) — Suggests next lines
2. Code Generation (ChatGPT) — Writes functions from descriptions
3. Agentic Coding (Cursor, Devin) — Plans, implements, and iterates
4. Living Systems (Taskade Genesis) — Memory + Intelligence + Execution in one organism

Learn more:

• Agentic Workflows for Startups — Practical automation patterns
• Single vs Multi-Agent Systems — When to orchestrate multiple agents

The Middle Loop

A new category of engineering work is emerging between the inner loop (writing code) and the outer loop (shipping to users):

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  INNER LOOP        MIDDLE LOOP         OUTER LOOP      │
│  (Code)            (Orchestrate)       (Ship)           │
│                                                         │
│  Write code    →   Delegate to agents  →  Deploy        │
│  Debug         →   Evaluate output     →  Monitor       │
│  Test          →   Maintain coherence  →  Iterate       │
│                                                         │
│  Shrinking ←──    THE NEW WORK    ──→  Unchanged       │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Middle loop skills: Decomposing tasks into agent-sized units, evaluating agent output quality, maintaining architectural coherence across parallel agents, and knowing when to intervene vs. let agents iterate.

Taskade Genesis shortcut: Genesis handles the middle loop for you — Memory, Intelligence, and Execution are pre-wired. Describe your app, and the system orchestrates the rest.

Prompt-to-App	The workflow of generating a complete application from a single natural language prompt.
Prompt-to-System	The next evolution beyond prompt-to-app: one prompt creates a complete system with backend, agents, and workflows — not just a UI. Pioneered by Taskade Genesis.
AI Agents	Autonomous AI systems that can understand context, make decisions, and execute tasks without human intervention. Learn more →

Taskade Genesis Terms

Term	Definition
Taskade Genesis	Taskade's AI app builder that creates living systems from natural language. One prompt generates a complete app with Memory, Intelligence, and Execution layers pre-wired. Try it →
The Taskade Genesis Loop	The self-reinforcing cycle at the heart of every Taskade Genesis app: Memory feeds Intelligence → Intelligence triggers Execution → Execution writes back to Memory → system gets smarter over time.
Not Features. Organs.	The Taskade Genesis design philosophy: projects are not documents (they're Memory), agents are not chatbots (they're Intelligence), automations are not triggers (they're Execution). Each is an organ in a living system.
Business-in-a-Box	A complete business system built from a single Taskade Genesis prompt: CRM + Finance + Support + Content + Client Portal, all interconnected through Workspace DNA. Learn more →
EVE	Taskade's unified AI assistant that orchestrates agents, workflows, and memory across your entire workspace. Available in every Taskade Genesis app, chat, and automation.
Clone and Customize	The Taskade Genesis workflow: browse community apps, clone any app with one click, customize it for your use case. Every cloned app inherits the original's Workspace DNA. Browse apps →

Development Terms

Term	Definition
Agentic IDE	Development environment where AI acts as an autonomous collaborator, not just an assistant. Examples: Cursor, Windsurf, Kiro.
Agentic Workflow	Multi-step processes where AI agents coordinate to complete complex tasks.
Code Generation	AI producing actual source code that developers can modify and deploy.
Context Window	The amount of text (measured in tokens) an AI can consider at once. Larger = better codebase understanding.
Human-in-the-Loop	AI workflow where humans approve or modify AI actions before execution. Common in Cline, Roo Code.
Context Engineering	The discipline of designing the information architecture around AI agents — steering files, progressive disclosure, and context budgeting. The 2026 evolution beyond prompt engineering.
Harness Engineering	Designing the scaffolding (tools, verification, memory) around AI models. The harness, not the model, is the 2026 bottleneck.

Architecture Terms

Term	Definition
MCP (Model Context Protocol)	Open standard for connecting AI tools to external data sources and services. Created by Anthropic.
MCP Server	A service that exposes data or functionality to AI tools via the Model Context Protocol.
Agent Memory	Persistent storage that allows AI agents to remember context across sessions.
RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)	Technique where AI retrieves relevant documents before generating responses.
Embeddings	Vector representations of text that enable semantic search and similarity matching.

Workflow Terms

Term	Definition
No-Code	Building software without writing traditional code, using visual builders or natural language.
Low-Code	Development approach combining visual builders with some traditional coding.
Multi-Agent Orchestration	Coordinating multiple AI agents to work together on complex problems.
Spec-Driven Development	Writing specifications that AI uses to generate and maintain code. Used by Amazon Kiro.
Steering Files	Configuration files (like .cursorrules or AGENTS.md) that guide AI behavior in a project.
Workspace Backend	Using a collaborative workspace as the database and API layer for applications.
The Middle Loop	The new category of engineering work between writing code (inner loop) and shipping to users (outer loop): delegating to agents, evaluating output, and maintaining coherence.
Token Trap	Pricing model where AI tools charge per token/credit, making costs unpredictable. Contrast with flat-rate pricing where published apps consume zero credits.
llms.txt	An emerging standard for making websites AI-friendly by providing structured context at a known URL path. Spec →

The Vibe Coding Philosophy

Traditional coding requires you to think in code — variables, functions, syntax, frameworks. Vibe coding inverts this: you think in outcomes, and AI handles the implementation.

Key Principles

1. Describe, don't code — Natural language is the new programming language
2. Outcomes over output — Focus on what you want, not how to build it
3. Iterate through conversation — Refine with prompts, not debugging
4. Ship fast — Minutes to deployment, not months
5. Trust the vibes — Let AI make implementation decisions

The Evolution

Generation	Approach	Who Can Build
Traditional Coding	Write code manually	Developers only
Low-Code	Visual builders + code	Developers + technical users
No-Code	Visual builders only	Technical users
Vibe Coding	Natural language	Everyone

Living Systems vs Generated Code

The most advanced vibe coding creates living systems powered by Workspace DNA:

Aspect	Generated Code	Living Systems
Backend	You build it	Workspace is the backend
Database	You connect it	Already connected
AI	You integrate it	AI agents built in
Deployment	You manage it	Instant sharing
Updates	Manual	Workspace evolves, app evolves

This isn't a temporary trend. It's how software will be built.
