VibeWise: learn to build while the AI writes the code

A learning plugin that changes how your agent works with you: it asks for your approach first, talks through trade-offs and explains new ideas, lets you decide when the plan is ready, then writes the code and explains what it changed and why.

A prompt to try

/vibe-wise:learn I want to add login to this app. Ask me how I would approach it first, then walk me through the trade-offs before you write any code.

Written by us so you can reuse it. Replace each [bracket] with your details.

Step by step

  1. Claude Code: run /plugin install vibe-wise@anthropic-plugin-directory (or add the nykooi1/vibe-wise marketplace).
  2. Codex: run codex plugin marketplace add nykooi1/vibe-wise, then codex plugin add vibe-wise@vibe-wise.
  3. Restart your agent in the project and run /vibe-wise:learn (or $vibe-wise:learn in Codex).
  4. Answer the short setup questions, then ask it to build something.

Watch out for

It is slower on purpose: you answer questions before code appears, so switch it off for quick fixes. In Codex, run $vibe-wise:learn again at the start of each session. It keeps learning notes in a .vibe-wise/ folder in your project.
