​
The Evolution of AI-Assisted Development

Forge introduces Vibe Coding++™ - a revolutionary approach that transforms chaotic AI interactions into structured, maintainable development workflows.

​
The Problem: Regular Vibe Coding

​
The “2-Week Curse”

You’ve experienced it: AI generates perfect code today. Two weeks later, something breaks, and you can’t fix it because you don’t understand what was built.
The 2-Week Curse: Code that works perfectly when shipped but becomes unmaintainable within weeks because the developer never understood the AI-generated solution.

​
Why Regular Vibe Coding Fails

ProblemImpact
Lost ContextConversations scattered across chat histories
No StructureRandom .md files, no task tracking
No ControlAI makes all decisions autonomously
No Memory”What did we build last week?” Lost forever
No ExperimentationStuck with one agent’s approach
No ReviewCode applied immediately without understanding

​
The Solution: Vibe Coding++™

​
Philosophy: You Orchestrate, AI Executes

Vibe Coding++™ flips the script - humans stay in control while leveraging AI power:

​
The Key Differences

Regular Vibe Coding

  • AI acts autonomously
  • Lost in chat conversations
  • One AI, one approach
  • Direct code changes
  • Auto-applies changes
  • Black box magic
  • Mysterious bugs in 2 weeks

Vibe Coding++™

  • You orchestrate every decision
  • Persistent Kanban board
  • Try 8+ different AI agents
  • Isolated Git worktrees
  • Review before merge
  • You understand the code
  • Code that won’t break mysteriously

​
How Vibe Coding++™ Works

​
1. You Own the Kanban

Tasks live in a persistent board, not lost in chat history or scattered .md files:
Every task card contains complete context, attempts, results, and diffs - permanent structured memory.

​
2. You Pick the Agent

Not happy with Claude’s approach? Try Gemini. Want a third opinion? Use Cursor CLI: 
Task: "Implement user authentication"
├── Attempt 1: Claude Code → Too complex
├── Attempt 2: Gemini → Missing edge cases
├── Attempt 3: Cursor CLI → Perfect! ✅
└── Result: You choose Attempt 3 to merge

​
3. Git Worktree Isolation

Every attempt runs in its own isolated environment:
  • No conflicts between experiments
  • No broken main branch while testing
  • Easy cleanup after choosing the winner

​
4. You Review & Understand

Before any code touches your main branch:
  • See exactly what changed
  • Understand why changes were made
  • Compare different approaches side-by-side
  • Approve or reject with full knowledge

​
The Vibe Coding++™ Manifesto

AI that elevates human potential, not replaces it

​
Our Core Principles

  • You orchestrate - AI executes
  • You decide - AI suggests
  • You understand - AI explains
  • You own - No vendor lock-in
  • You experiment - AI delivers options
  • You review - AI waits for approval

​
Real-World Example

​
Before: Regular Vibe Coding

Developer: "Build an auth system"
AI: *generates code*
Developer: "Looks good!" *ships it*

[2 weeks later]
Developer: "Why is auth broken?"
AI: "Let me regenerate it..."
Developer: "But I don't know what it does!"

​
After: Vibe Coding++™

Developer: Creates task "Implement JWT authentication"

Developer: Try Claude Code
→ Review: Too complex, over-engineered

Developer: Try Gemini
→ Review: Simple but missing refresh tokens

Developer: Try Cursor CLI
→ Review: Perfect balance! ✅

Developer: Merges Cursor's approach
→ Understands every line
→ Can maintain and extend it
→ No mysterious bugs in 2 weeks

​
The Power of Multiple Attempts

Each task can have multiple attempts with different agents:
Different AI models have different strengths:
  • Claude excels at complex logic
  • Gemini is great for simplicity
  • Cursor CLI balances both
Multiple attempts let you find the perfect fit.
Use multiple attempts for:
  • Critical features affecting many users
  • Complex refactoring with high risk
  • Security-sensitive implementations
  • Learning different approaches to a problem
Forge shows side-by-side diffs:
  • See implementation differences
  • Compare code complexity
  • Review test coverage
  • Choose the best or combine approaches

​
Breaking the 2-Week Curse

Vibe Coding++™ breaks the curse through structured human control:
1

Task Planning

You break down work into clear, focused tasks
2

Experimentation

Try different agents in isolated worktrees
3

Understanding

Review diffs and understand every change
4

Conscious Choice

Merge only what you understand and approve
5

Maintainability

Code you understand is code you can maintain
