Vibe Coding Production Kit is a production-focused operating system and zero-runtime-dependency CLI that turns ad-hoc AI-assisted coding into a repeatable engineering lifecycle. It enforces repository-native agent rules, bounded task contracts, readiness gates, explicit architecture and security artifacts, verification evidence, independent review, safe upgrades, and recovery. Model-agnostic and compatible with Codex, Claude Code, Copilot and others, it installs via npx or as vcp, requires Node.js 22+, and auto-detects TypeScript, Python, and Go when repository evidence exists. Unlike casual prompt-first workflows, it prioritizes long-term maintainability: versioned lifecycle state, baseline snapshots, conservative updates, conflict-first merges, transaction-safe migrations, and human ownership of intent and trade-offs.
The workflow is opinionated and CLI-driven: init, task, ready (plan/implement), context (mode-specific context packs), plan, implement, verify (execution recorded as evidence), independent review, doctor (audit), and release/observe. The update engine produces dry-run plans, three-way merges, explicit CONFLICT states, rollback, and manage/track controls for files. Verification evidence captures command results (status, exit codes, timeouts) while avoiding raw stdout persistence. A reference example models a secure multi-tenant invite flow with ADRs, threat model, tests, and negative-path checks. Included templates cover AGENTS.md, product/architecture/security/test strategy, and delivery definitions, enforcing a system where humans define scope and risk while AI executes within constrained, auditable boundaries.
