Most code-generation tools start at "write me a"; this one starts by asking seven structured questions and turning the answers into a PRD the later stages read from. That ordering is the whole point — the phase folders mean the plan is a file the implementation stage can consult, not context that scrolled away. Setup is path-sensitive: absolute paths and a rebuild after every change.
VibeCoding turns development into a guided conversation: six specialised MCP services carry a project through clarification, design, implementation, testing and deployment, each with short `@vibe` commands and a longer explicit form.
- Context Manager — `start-clarification` opens a project with structured questions, `provide-clarification` answers them one at a time, `generate-prd` writes the product requirements document, `generate-impl-plan` turns it into a technical plan
- Code Generator — `generate-code`, `code-review`, `refactor-code`
- Dependency Tracker — `analyze-dependencies`, `security-scan`, `update-dependencies`
- Test Validator — `run-tests`, `validate-coverage`, `performance-test`
- Doc Generator — `generate-docs`, `create-api-docs`, `generate-changelog`
- Deployment Manager — `deploy-service`, `setup-monitoring`, `rollback-deployment`
- Project scaffolding creates five phase folders — `0_discovery/`, `1_design/`, `2_implementation/`, `3_validation/`, `4_deployment/` — plus a knowledge base, so artefacts land where the next stage expects them
- Prompts under `.vibecoding/prompts/` load according to the current phase, so guidance changes as the project moves
Node.js >= 18.0.0 and npm >= 8.0.0, on Windows 10/11, macOS or Linux, with at least 4GB RAM. Clone the repo, `npm install && npm run build`, then verify with `npm run vibecoding status` and `npm run test:prompts`. Register the built service under `mcpServers` in Cursor's `settings.json` or `claude_desktop_config.json` using an absolute path to `dist/vibe-services/context-manager/index.js` — relative paths are the most common failure. Cursor needs no API key; other setups can supply `OPENAI_API_KEY`, `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` or `GEMINI_API_KEY`. MIT.
