Anti-vibe coding.
Put the proof first.
Vibe coding is fast to write and hard to trust. Anti-vibe coding keeps the speed and adds the one thing it's missing: proof that the work is right.

Anti-vibe coding is building with AI at full speed and keeping the proof that the work is right. The rough ask becomes a spec you can read and check. Every step after that answers to the spec instead of to a feeling, and nothing moves on until it holds. The name is a direct answer to vibe coding, which skips all of it.
The vibe is optional. The proof isn't.
Software used to answer to a plan.
For decades, work started from a spec. The requirements, the design, what "done" actually meant. The work answered to it. It was slow, but you always knew what you were building and whether you got there.
Then we started skipping it.
AI let us jump straight to the output. Say roughly what you want, take back whatever comes. That's vibe coding, and it's fine for a throwaway prototype. It falls apart the moment the work has to stand up in front of users, a team, or production.
Keep the speed. Add the proof.
Anti-vibe coding doesn't drag you back to the slow way. It puts the plan back, as a spec you can audit, and proves every step against it. You still move fast. You just stop shipping on faith.
What you can run today.
The whole run: a fuzzy ask becomes a spec you can audit, the build runs from that spec, and every step answers to it. Nothing here is a preview.
