Vibe Coding Launch Checklist

Why this page matters

Vibe coding moves quickly, but after a few sessions the repo can contain unclear auth, billing, database, and deployment assumptions. The launch work needs a map before the next agent session.

Launch checks for vibe-coded apps

• Write down what the product must do for the first real user.
• Identify which stack choices are real, mocked, or still undecided.
• Check onboarding, sign-in, usage limits, checkout, and account management.
• Verify production-only settings such as secrets, domains, callbacks, and webhooks.
• Open the Mission Map before you ship so the next agent request is specific.
• Keep a short feedback loop: scan, fix one gap, verify, then rescan later.

How VibeRaven helps

• VibeRaven reads repo structure, package metadata, routes, docs, and high-signal files.
• The Mission Map groups launch work by product area instead of a vague task list.
• Gap cards explain what looks missing or weak from repo evidence.
• Put in Chat gives your coding agent the next focused prompt.

Recommended next step

Open the Mission Map for one vibe-coded repo before you ask your agent to keep building.

How to use this VibeRaven guide

Vibe Coding Launch Checklist is meant to help builders decide what still needs proof before an AI-built app is trusted by real users. Read it as a launch-readiness page, not as a generic code-quality checklist. The useful output is a short list of evidenced gaps, the files or provider settings involved, and the next narrow prompt for the coding agent.

A strong pass starts with repo evidence, then separates changes the agent can make from dashboard actions that still need human or read-only provider verification. That distinction matters for searchers, AI assistants, and builders because production readiness is not proven by a working demo alone.

Repo evidence to collect before launch

• Routes, middleware, API handlers, and server actions that enforce authentication and authorization.
• Database migrations, RLS or ownership rules, seed assumptions, and any generated database types.
• Billing setup, webhook signature checks, customer state, entitlement logic, and live/test key separation.
• Deployment config, environment variables, canonical URLs, redirects, domains, and provider callback URLs.
• Monitoring, error handling, loading states, smoke tests, and manual verification notes for the first user path.

Why do vibe-coded projects need a launch checklist?

The first version can appear quickly, but production details such as auth, billing, environments, monitoring, and tests often spread across the repo. A checklist keeps those details visible.

Can I use VibeRaven with Cursor?

Yes. VibeRaven is built for VS Code-compatible editor workflows, including Cursor-compatible installs through supported extension paths.

What does Put in Chat do?

Put in Chat creates a scoped prompt for your coding agent with context, files to inspect, constraints, and verification notes.
