       Show HN: I built a wizard to turn ideas into AI coding agent-ready
       specs
        
       I created vibescaffold.dev. It is a wizard-style AI tool that will
       guide you from idea - vision - tech spec - implementation plan. It
       will generate all the documents necessary for AI coding agents to
       understand & iteratively execute on your vision.  How it works: -
       Step 1: Define your product vision and MVP - Step 2: AI helps
       create technical architecture and data models - Step 3: Generate a
       staged development plan - Step 4: Create an AGENTS.md for automated
       workflows  I've used AI coding tools for awhile. Before this
       workflow (and now, this tool), I kept getting "close but not quite"
       results from AI coding tools. I learned that the more context &
       guidance I gave these tools up front, the better results I got.
       The other thing I have found with most tools that attempt to
       improve on "vibe coding" is that they add abstraction. To me, this
       just adds to the problem. AI coding agents are valuable, but they
       are error-prone - you need to be an active participation in their
       work. This workflow is designed to provide a scaffolding for these
       AI agents, while minimizing additional abstraction.  Would love
       feedback on the workflow - especially curious if others find the
       upfront planning helpful or constraining.
