Mise en Place for Agentic Coding: Deliberate Preparation as Context Engineering Methodology

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2605.05400v1 Announce Type: cross The rapid adoption of AI coding agents has produced a dominant workflow pattern -- often called "vibe coding" -- that prioritizes speed of implementation over deliberate preparation. We argue that this approach creates a systematic alignment problem: agents that lack sufficient context produce code requiring extensive debugging and refactoring, consuming substantial development time.
