I don't like vibe coding as much as actual coding, but the biggest improvement in my workflow was shifting left even more.

Now I dedicate at least one session to just writing a spec file, and have it ask me clarifying questions on my requirements and based on what it finds in the codebase and online. I ask it to also break down the implementation plan in phases with a checklist for each phase.

I then start at least one new session per phase and make sure to nail down that phase before continuing.

The nice thing is if it gets annoying to vibe code it, I or someone on my team can just use the spec to implement things.
