    I built SpecMind, an open source developer tool for spec driven vibe coding. It keeps architecture and implementation aligned from the first commit instead of letting them drift apart. With AI assistants writing more of our code, projects move faster but architectural consistency is often lost. Each developer or AI can introduce new patterns, and after a few sprints, the structure becomes fragmented. SpecMind helps prevent that by generating and maintaining living architecture specs directly from your code. It works in three steps: 1. analyze – scans your codebase and generates…

    Made using Google’s Lyria music model — an image → music translator. I’m a designer at Google, doing a self-initiated 30 days with Gemini experiment. This is technically a promo, but honestly just pleased with how this one turned out. I don’t write code — this was entirely vibecoded.

    I created vibescaffold.dev. It is a wizard-style AI tool that will guide you from idea → vision → tech spec → implementation plan. It will generate all the documents necessary for AI coding agents to understand & iteratively execute on your vision. How it works: - Step 1: Define your product vision and MVP - Step 2: AI helps create technical architecture and data models - Step 3: Generate a staged development plan - Step 4: Create an AGENTS.md for automated workflows I've used AI coding tools for awhile. Before this workflow (and now, this tool), I kept getting "close but not quite" results…

    Hi HN, We are the devs behind VibeShift. We have been building this MCP server to put AI coding assistants in an automatic feedback loop. They code, test, debug, fix everything until we have a fully working, secure code. It tests like a real user, copies network/console and logical errors to give them back to cursor. (1 min demo - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bN_RgQGa8B0) We felt this was the natural next step for AI coding assistants. And with new asynchronous assistants like codex, having a plug & play tester makes sure you don't have to spend time debugging and…

    Hi HN, I’ve been spending a lot of time vibe-coding with LLMs and kept running into the same bottleneck: translating a vague idea into a prompt that produces usable output without multiple correction cycles. Most of the time wasn’t spent coding, but refining prompts. Adding constraints, clarifying intent, restating context, fixing assumptions. It felt like a repeatable preprocessing problem rather than something that should require manual effort every time. So I built a small tool that takes rough, unstructured input and rewrites it into a more explicit, structured prompt optimized for…

    Hi HN! We’re a team of ML validation specialists and we’ve been building /Spec27, a tool for testing whether AI agents still do their job safely and reliably as models, prompts, tools, and surrounding systems change. We started working on this because a lot of current LLM evaluation work seems aimed at scoring general model behavior, while many teams are deploying systems that have a specific mission to fulfill. Many of the tools also assume you have full access to the agent stack and traces so you can place SDKs and Gateways, but a lot of agents are being created on vendor platforms…

    Hey HN, Since late 2021, I’ve been building apps using only AI models. Over time, I realized the real problem wasn’t how good the coding models were, but how you write and structure your prompts. When I vibe code, I make a looooot of typos or write unclear prompts. I often find myself reverting to old versions because the AI misunderstood my prompt and made incorrect changes. But in reality, it’s usually not the AI’s fault. It’s my prompt. That’s why I built PromptDC. It enhances your prompts with one click, without leaving your web-based platform or local editor. Just write your prompt in…
