Coding Agents Are Junior Teammates With Fast Hands
A coding agent can edit, run tests, and recover from errors. It still needs scope, review, and a human who understands the system.
Read The Diff Like A Detective
The diff is where AI mistakes become visible: unrelated files, deleted guards, changed defaults, and tests that were edited to pass.
Ask For The Test Before The Fix
When a bug is real, the agent should prove it with a failing test before changing production code.
Refactor In Small Slices
Agents can refactor fast, which means they can break fast. Move one concept at a time and keep behavior stable.
Make Terminal Output Your Shared Truth
Do not argue with the agent about what happened. Paste the exact command and output so both of you reason from the same evidence.
Type Errors Are Design Feedback
A TypeScript error is often the system telling you the agent guessed the wrong data shape. Read it before suppressing it.
Protect API Contracts
An API route is a promise. Agents should validate input, return stable errors, and avoid changing response shapes casually.
Database Migrations Are Not Suggestions
A schema edit needs a migration, a rollback story, and data safety. Never let an agent freestyle production tables.
Branch, Commit, PR: Give Agents Rails
A branch isolates the experiment. A commit records the claim. A PR gives humans a review surface.
Use A Second Model For Review
One agent writes the patch; another critiques it. The disagreement is where bugs hide.
Threat Model The Feature
Before shipping user management, payments, uploads, or AI tools, ask who could abuse it and what they could steal or break.
Do Not Guess At Performance

A requirements card is a tiny spec: user, job, data, edge case, and success check. It keeps casual prompting from becoming chaos.
RLS Before Launch: The Supabase Lesson
Most scary vibe-coding security stories are not about genius hackers. They are about public database access with weak or missing Row Level Security. Write the smallest useful scope the agent can finish.
Debug With Error Receipts
Do not tell the AI 'it broke.' Bring receipts: URL, action, expected result, actual result, console error, network error, and the exact time it happened.
Always Ask What Changed
Vibe builders can modify many files at once. Asking for the diff summary trains you to notice accidental rewrites before they become permanent. Write the smallest useful scope the agent can finish.
Give Your Builder A Rules File
A project rules file tells the AI your conventions before it touches anything: names, colors, auth rules, forbidden actions, and how to verify work.
The 10-Minute Security Check
Before a vibe-coded app leaves your laptop, check auth, database policies, secrets, file uploads, admin routes, rate limits, and public pages. Write the smallest useful scope the agent can finish.
The Taste Loop: Reject Generic AI UI
Fast builders often produce the same rounded-card gradient look. Your job is to describe audience, density, tone, and real workflow until it feels specific.
Design The Data Model First
If the database is vague, the app will be vague. Name the tables, fields, ownership, and privacy rules before asking for screens.
Auth Is Not A Login Button
Real auth includes roles, redirects, protected routes, empty states, password resets, and what users can do after signing in. Write the smallest useful scope the agent can finish.
Secrets, Env Vars, And The Frontend Trap
API keys in browser code are public. Learn the difference between public configuration and private secrets before connecting payments or AI APIs.
Test With Three Fake Users
Most permission bugs appear only when you create User A, User B, and Admin and try to cross the wires. Write the smallest useful scope the agent can finish.
Have A Rollback Plan Before Deploy
A deploy button is not enough. Know how to revert, restore data, and tell users what happened if the new build breaks. Write the smallest useful scope the agent can finish.
When To Stop Vibe Coding And Learn The Code
You do not need to become a senior engineer overnight. But when the app has money, private data, or real users, you need to read the dangerous parts. Write the smallest useful scope the agent can finish.
Write A Maintenance Handbook
A shipped vibe-coded app needs a one-page handbook: what it does, where data lives, how to run it, how to deploy, and known risks. Write the smallest useful scope the agent can finish.
