Vibe Coding Help: What to Do When the Vibes Break

Vibe coding is magic—until it isn't. You're cruising along, adding features at the speed of thought, and suddenly the AI starts hallucinating, the CSS collapses, or your logic enters an infinite loop.

If you're stuck, this guide provides the immediate vibe coding help you need to unblock your build.

1. The "Clean Slate" Reset

The most common cause of "vibe drift" is a saturated context window. The AI has seen too many versions of the same file and is getting confused.

• The Fix: Copy only the current, broken file into a fresh chat.
• The Prompt: "I am working on this specific file. It was working, but after I added [feature X], it broke [behavior Y]. Analyze only this file and fix the conflict."

2. Context Management (The .md Strategy)

If you find yourself explaining the same thing to your AI over and over, you need a "Permanent Memory" for your vibes.

• The Fix: Create a TODO.md or ARCHITECTURE.md file.
• Why it works: By attaching these files to every prompt, you ensure the AI doesn't forget your stack choices or project goals.

3. Visual Debugging

Sometimes you can't describe the bug in words. If your UI is "vibing wrong," use vision.

• The Fix: Take a screenshot of the broken UI, upload it, and say: "This is what I see. This is what I want (describe the ideal). Fix the CSS in style.css to match the vision."

4. When to Get Professional Vibe Coding Help

Sometimes a project reaches a level of complexity where standard prompting isn't enough. You might be facing:

• Architectural Debt: The AI built "spaghetti" that no longer scales.
• Silent Logic Bugs: The code runs, but the data is wrong.
• Integration Hell: Connecting your vibe-app to a real database (Supabase, Postgres) is failing.
