AI-Assisted Development

This guide was prototyped using LocalForge — a tool built with vibe coding itself. You describe the vibe, it generates usable code and prompts. Even this doc was written with it.

What is Vibe Coding?

Vibe Coding is an improvisational way of building software where the focus is on how it feels rather than just specs.

Instead of the old flow:

• Requirements → planning → coding → refining

You vibe it out:

1. Describe the mood or feeling you want.
2. Let AI generate first drafts.
3. Iterate based on intuition, flow, and aesthetic.
4. Add structure only once the direction feels right.

Think of it like sketching in code before painting the final picture.

The Philosophy Behind It

Vibe coding grew out of three overlapping cultures:

1. Hackathons & rapid prototyping → “Ship something in 24 hours.”
2. Creative coding communities → Art, visuals, and playful experiments.
3. AI-assisted workflows → Skip boilerplate, go straight to ideas.
