Vibe Code Common Sense

Vibe Code Common Sense is a project setup system for responsible AI coding.

It starts from one blunt rule:

Treat every AI coding agent as dumb until the project proves otherwise.

Agents are useful, but a new project needs rails before velocity: a blueprint, small PR-sized tasks, verification rules, decision records, and a progress tracker that survives across sessions.

Why This Exists

At the start of a project, you are vulnerable:

  • the idea is still loose;
  • the architecture is undecided;
  • the roadmap is unclear;
  • the agent does not know your standards;
  • the agent can confidently generate AI slop.

Vibe Code Common Sense turns that first hour into a repeatable setup workflow.

What It Creates

README.md
AGENTS.md
docs/PROJECT_BLUEPRINT.md
docs/PRODUCT_TIMELINE.md
docs/ROADMAP.md
docs/ARCHITECTURE.md
docs/DEVELOPMENT_CYCLE.md
docs/DECISIONS.md

The most important file is docs/PRODUCT_TIMELINE.md. It becomes the source of truth for what has shipped and what comes next.

How Work Moves

idea -> blueprint -> product timeline -> small PR -> verification -> tracker update

Every future PR should:

  1. read docs/PRODUCT_TIMELINE.md;
  2. build the first unchecked item;
  3. open one focused PR;
  4. mark the item [x] with the PR number;
  5. show the next unchecked item.
