Spekkio: Reverse-engineer specs from vibe-coded apps

Hey HN, I see vibe-coded apps as basically a working sketch from a domain expert who knows what they want, abdicating responsibility for the "-ilities" (e.g. maintainability, scalability). They're valuable, working, partial specifications - but far from a production-worthy product. Spekkio is an extension of the spec-kit approach that reverse-engineers a vibe-coded app to make best use of what we're given to bridge that gap. Spekkio surfaces the kinds of rubbish that vibe-coded apps accumulate: missing validations, security gaps, inconsistent error handling, dead code, etc... and creates…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hey HN, I see vibe-coded apps as basically a working sketch from a domain expert who knows what they want, abdicating responsibility for the "-ilities" (e.g. maintainability, scalability). They're valuable, working, partial specifications - but far from a production-worthy product. Spekkio is an extension of the spec-kit approach that reverse-engineers a vibe-coded app to make best use of what we're given to bridge that gap. Spekkio surfaces the kinds of rubbish that vibe-coded apps accumulate: missing validations, security gaps, inconsistent error handling, dead code, etc... and creates documentation + builds a BDD test suite through inference. From there, you can rebuild/regenerate a higher quality app from a known state, evolving it intentionally. It builds a (somewhat) interactive report to help you navigate all the findings. The first example is the classic BDD ATM example that was generated naively from the book description. So pretty realistic :) I'd love to see if this is something that resonates with other people. Lots of architectural and other considerations have been skipped, but I want to answer the biggest question first: is this useful to the community? Would love feedback, especially from anyone dealing with "production vibe-coded apps". https://github.com/paulkarayan/spekkio

    Vibe Remote – Code from your bed or the park with Claude Code/CodexMar 2026 · vibe-remote.com · ▲7

    I built Vibe Remote because I wanted to code from my bed or the park without lugging a laptop around. With tools like Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini-cli, we don't need a full IDE for every task anymore. Vibe Remote turns your phone into a powerful remote console. Why it’s more than just a chat: * AI Agent Hub: Zero-config support for Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode. * Built-in Web Preview: View your localhost services directly inside the app. Essential for UI debugging. * Full Session Management: Start a task on your Mac, grab your phone, and monitor progress from a cafe. * Dev Ops: Manage…
