Putting AI-Generated Blocks into Your Working System

Part 1: Why Vibe Coding Breaks Down Last month, I spent an afternoon building a URL shortener with Claude. The first prompt worked beautifully. Tests passed. I felt like a wizard. By the fifth prompt, things got weird. The AI added features I did not ask for. It changed the database schema twice. It could not remember what the API endpoints were supposed to be. By the tenth prompt, I was not coding. I was negotiating with a machine that had forgotten the conversation we had twenty minutes ago. This is not a failure of AI. This is the failure of the method.
