What is vibe coding hardening? +
Vibe coding hardening makes an agent built by prompting AI coding assistants safe to run and change every day: review, tests, typed contracts, security, error handling, logging and a structure your developers can maintain. The features stay as they are.
What does vibe coding hardening include? +
It includes a review of the whole codebase with ranked findings and a keep, harden or rewrite call for each part. Then come unit and integration tests from real cases and failure paths, evaluation cases for every step a model decides, and typed contracts at API, tool and model boundaries. Keys leave the code and the git history; dependencies, authentication, data access and prompt injection paths are reviewed. Failed calls get timeouts, retries or fallbacks, every request gets logs and traces, and the code gets clear module boundaries, CI, a runbook and walkthroughs with your developers.
Do you rewrite the agent from scratch? +
Rarely as a whole. The review marks each part as keep, harden or rewrite, with the reason written down. Logic that works and passes the new tests stays.
Does it matter which AI coding tool built the agent? +
No. We work from the code in the repository. If the agent lives inside a hosted app builder, the first step is moving the code into a repository you control.
How do you handle secrets that were already committed? +
We find them in the code and in the git history, help you rotate them and move them to a secret store or the environment. Rotation matters more than deletion: a key that was ever committed has to be treated as exposed.
How long does hardening take? +
That depends on the size of the codebase and on what the review finds. The review comes first and ends with a fix plan and an estimate per part, so you agree the scope before the work starts.
Can our developers keep using AI coding assistants afterwards? +
Yes, if it helps them. After hardening, the tests, the typed contracts and the CI checks catch an assistant's mistakes before they are merged.
What does our team get at the end? +
The repository with tests, typed contracts and CI, logs and traces, a README whose setup steps work, a runbook, notes on the main decisions, and walkthroughs with the developers who will own the code.
