// what is vibecoding

Describe it. The agent builds it. You ship it.

💬

You describe

Tell the agent what you want in plain English. No regex, no config files.

🤖

It builds

OpenCode reads your code, writes the changes, runs the tests, ships the app.

🚀

You ship

Push, deploy, repeat. It's like having a senior dev with infinite Red Bull.

// the stack

Three things. That's it.

01

A VPS

A $5/mo Linux box you own. Kamatera for hourly billing, Contabo for beefy specs.

Compare →
02

OpenCode Go

A $10/mo flat-rate subscription that gives you access to frontier open-source models like DeepSeek V4 Pro, Qwen3.7 Max, and Kimi K2.6. No per-token anxiety. Vibecode all night without a finance bro emailing you.

// plan vs build

Two modes. Use the right one.

📐 Plan

Read. Think. Propose.

The agent reads your codebase and writes a step-by-step plan. No files are edited. Review the plan, nudge it in chat, switch to Build when you're happy.

🔨 Build

Read. Edit. Run.

The agent actually edits your files and runs commands. Use it when you trust the plan. Pair with git commit for an instant undo button.

🧠

Pro tip

Always start in Plan mode. Read the plan. Clean it up. Then switch to Build. That's the difference between vibecoding and vibepanicking.

Stop reading. Start vibecoding.
