Vibe coding is why your AI app is a mess

Project Chat
What are you building today?
I need a client portal where my freelance clients can see project status and pay invoices.
Got it. Who are the users? Just you and the clients?
Yes, and maybe an admin view for my assistant.
Okay, I've added "Assistant" to the Personas. For payments, should we use Stripe Connect or simple invoicing?
Stripe Connect sounds good...

The Vibe Coding Trap

They build exactly what you ask for.
Not what you need.

Day 1: It works!
Day 3: You add a feature, and 4 others break.
Day 5: You're deleting the repo and starting over.

"You're feeding a Ferrari premium chaos and wondering why it crashes."

VIBE CODING REALITY
The Solution

What if you had a technical co-founder?

Someone who asks the hard questions before you write a line of code. Who pushes back when you're overbuilding. Who turns "I want an app like Airbnb but for dog walkers" into a buildable spec.

1

The Idea

Nail the problem, solution, and who it's for

How It Works

Map the building blocks and behaviors

The Plan

Get your complete spec, ready for AI

No jargon. No 50-page requirements docs. Just a focused conversation that extracts exactly what AI coding tools need to build your app right the first time.

Ready to start the conversation?

It takes about 30 minutes to get your full blueprint.

Features

Everything you need to go from idea to launch

A complete system for turning vague ideas into shipped products.

AI Co-Founder Conversation

An opinionated AI that challenges your assumptions, spots logical gaps, and pushes for the smallest possible MVP.

Complete Documentation Suite

Six production-ready docs: Overview, Personas, User Flows, Architecture, Database, and Guidelines.

Implementation Kanban

Your build broken into tasks. Each task includes a ready-to-paste prompt—just copy and build.

80%Done
On Track

Progress Tracking

See exactly where you are. No more "what next?" Every task has clear done criteria.

The difference structure makes

Same AI tools. Completely different results.

The "Vibe Coding" Way

Error: undefined
  • Start with "Build me a task app"
  • Context limit hit by Day 3
  • Rewriting same code 5x
  • Spaghetti architecture
  • "Why did it break again?"

The LucidCode Way

  • Start with complete blueprint
  • AI has full context from Day 1
  • One-shot copy/paste prompts
  • Clean, modular components
  • Steady, predictable progress
The AI Reality Check

"But I can just describe my app to ChatGPT..."

You can. And you'll get generic, surface-level output that sounds good but falls apart the moment you try to build it. It's the difference between a blog post and a blueprint.

Structured extraction

4 phases designed to pull out details you didn't know you needed to decide

Opinionated guidance

Pushes back on bad ideas instead of agreeing with everything

AI-optimized output

Docs formatted specifically for how Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI tools consume context

Implementation-ready

Not just docs, but a complete task breakdown with prompts

Simple Pricing

Cheaper than 1 hour of fixing bad code

Stop paying the "vibe coding tax" of rewritten features and broken builds. Get the blueprint first.
