We are not anti-AI. We are pro-discipline.

Vibe coding unlocks speed. Supervised vibe coding unlocks speed you can trust. The difference is a developer who remains the final decision-maker at every step, not a passive reviewer of whatever the model felt good about.

Supervised vibe coding is a development approach that combines AI-generated speed with deliberate human oversight, positioning the developer as the final decision-maker rather than a passive reviewer. It builds on Andrej Karpathy's 2025 concept of "vibe coding," which described fully delegating code generation to AI tools without reviewing the output.

The manifesto outlines ten guiding principles covering incremental delivery, test coverage, code review, prompt discipline, security, documentation, configuration management, CI/CD enforcement, ownership, and dependency auditing. A recurring theme is that AI accelerates execution but cannot replace developer judgment, accountability, or the ability to code independently.
