Advanced Engineering
Beyond basic workflows, Responsible Vibe provides sophisticated engineering practices for serious software development.
Project Documentation System
setup_project_docs Tool
Create structured project documentation that persists across conversations:
bash
# Your AI can call this automatically or you can request it
"Set up project documentation using the arc42 template"What it creates:
architecture.md– System design and technical decisionsrequirements.md– What you're building and whydesign.md– Detailed implementation approach
Workflow Variables
Your workflows can reference project documentation dynamically:
"Review the system architecture documented in $ARCHITECTURE_DOC
and ensure your design addresses all requirements in $REQUIREMENTS_DOC."Available Variables:
$ARCHITECTURE_DOC→.vibe/docs/architecture.md$REQUIREMENTS_DOC→.vibe/docs/requirements.md$DESIGN_DOC→.vibe/docs/design.md
Trunk-Based Development
Branch-Specific Development Plans
Each git branch gets its own development plan file:
Main branch: development-plan.mdFeature branch: development-plan-feature-auth.mdBugfix branch: development-plan-fix-login.md
Branch-Specific Conversation Contexts
Each branch maintains separate conversation context with different conversation IDs based on project-path + git-branch.
Rule Files Integration
Responsible Vibe provides HOW of the process (what phase, what to focus on) Rule files provide HOW of the deliverables (coding standards, conventions)
Together, they give your AI both process guidance and coding standards.
