Vibe engineering
deserves real tracking
You describe the intent. AI writes the code. Scribe captures the entire session — conversations, commits, and file changes — so your vibe engineering work is documented and billable.
The vibe engineering workflow
Vibe engineering flips traditional development. You focus on what to build. AI handles the how. Scribe tracks it all.
Traditional development
- ✕Write every line of code manually
- ✕Context switch between docs, Stack Overflow, IDE
- ✕Hours of work produce modest output
- ✕Time tracking captures keystrokes, not value
- ✕Hard to explain what took so long
Vibe engineering with Scribe
- Describe intent, iterate through conversation
- AI handles boilerplate, you handle decisions
- 10x output with AI pair programming
- Every conversation and commit is tracked
- Show clients exactly what was built and when
How Scribe captures vibe engineering
Three data sources create a complete record of your AI-driven development work.
AI Conversations
Claude Code session logs parsed automatically. Every prompt, every response, every iteration captured with timestamps and linked to the right project.
Git Commits
Every commit from your vibe engineering session — AI-generated or manually written — captured with diffs, file counts, and complexity scores.
File Changes
File modification timestamps fill the gaps between conversations and commits. Every save, every new file, every refactor is on the timeline.
Why vibe engineering needs tracking
AI-driven development is fast, but that doesn't mean it's free. Clients and teams need to see what was built, when it happened, and how the work progressed. Scribe turns vibe engineering sessions into documented, billable evidence.
- Prove to clients that AI-assisted work is real work
- Generate invoices from actual session data
- Track productivity across vibe engineering sessions
- Local-first — your conversations stay private

Vibe engineering FAQ
What is vibe engineering?
Vibe engineering is a development approach where you describe what you want to build in natural language to an AI coding assistant, then iterate on the output through conversation. Instead of writing every line by hand, you guide the AI through your intent and refine the result. The term was popularized in early 2025 to describe this new workflow.
How does Scribe track vibe engineering sessions?
Scribe parses Claude Code conversation logs stored on your local machine and correlates them with git commits and file changes that happen during and after each session. Every AI conversation becomes a timestamped work event on your timeline, linked to the project it belongs to.
Can I bill clients for vibe engineering work?
Yes. Vibe engineering is real development work that produces real code. Scribe captures the evidence — AI conversations, commits, and file modifications — so you can generate invoices backed by timestamped proof of work rather than rough hour estimates.
Does vibe engineering replace traditional coding?
No. Vibe engineering is a workflow, not a replacement for understanding code. Developers still need to review, test, and refine AI output. Scribe tracks the full cycle — the AI conversation, the code changes, and the review process — giving you a complete picture of the work involved.
Which AI tools work with Scribe for vibe engineering?
Scribe currently parses Claude Code conversation logs automatically. Git commits from any AI-assisted workflow (Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf) are captured through standard git history scanning. The timeline shows all your work regardless of which tool generated the code.
