The start of any vibe-X project should always be Deep Research.
Here’s a simple example: yesterday, someone asked me how they should go about writing a Chrome extension using vibe coding tools. GREAT application of vibe coding – Chrome extensions are small, typically lightweight, and not behemoths of enterprise software.
BUT!
They’re also super finicky, have intense standards (Chrome manifest V3), and can be a pain in the butt to debug. Chrome extensions have a ton of best practices which really should be called minimum standards of competence.
So how do you get started? With a Deep Research report detailing exactly what those minimum quality standards are.
Build one of these for every type of project you do – Python, R, Rust, Node, etc. – and have them stored in a central library somewhere so that you and your team can refer to them whenever needed, keep them updated as the technology changes, and make sure your projects are aligned with standards from the get-go.
Doing this first will save you HOURS of headache and token costs/compute costs because you won’t be fixing things and playing whack-a-mole as you start the debugging and QA process.
If you need a great starting point, the free Trust Insights CASINO prompt framework for Deep Research is the template I use.
Research what the standards are before you ever turn on any vibe coding tool. Your sanity will thank me later.
