nodecode-disciplined-vibe-coding

Disciplined Vibe Coding: eleven prose skills that run one coding task through intake, define, plan, teardown, build, verify and commit, with a gate at every stage. A Nodecode rewrite of bmtrnavsky/disciplined-vibe-coding by bmtrnavsky.

The cell is a knowledge cell: nothing runs, and the eleven skills sit in the index every conversation is pinned with. Ask for one by name, or ask the index for the rest.

(help 'intake)                   ; the whole procedure, as the original wrote it
(index "test first")             ; which of them answers this
(help 'disciplined-vibe-coding)  ; the pipeline that strings them together

Skill	When it is for
`intake`	The start of any task: what success looks like, the stakes tier, the direction
`brainstorm`	Approach forks, batched into one stop
`research`	Docs and prior art before building on an API, logged in `.pipeline/read.log`
`plan`	One milestone as atomic steps: paths, checks, rollback, budget lines
`execute`	Build to an approved plan; workers own assigned files, one hand owns git
`test-first`	A failing test before the code, declared exemptions otherwise
`debug`	Docs before theory, cause before fix, two failures and stop
`verify`	Fresh evidence before any done-claim, classified and counted
`version`	Narrative commits, semver, a changelog people can read
`write-docs`	Pragmatic Simplified Technical English for docs, notes and answers
`disciplined-vibe-coding`	The whole pipeline, stage by stage, with the gates in order

Every skill is scaled by one declared rung, in guides/economy-ladder.md: a one-liner, a micro-spec, a full spec, or a project. The rung sets the ceremony and never steps down mid-build.

What is in it

File	What it is
`intake.lisp` ... `write-docs.lisp`	Ten of the original `skills/*/SKILL.md` files, each as one prose `define-skill`.
`disciplined-vibe-coding.lisp`	The original's pipeline `SKILL.md`, whole, as one prose `define-skill`.
`guides/`	The markdown those skills name: the economy ladder, and the to-spec, writing-plan and wayfinder templates.
`test/`	The test slice: the folder reads as a knowledge cell and each skill answers its own prose.
