Vibe code rescue · Est. 2026

Your codebase is haunted by vibe code.

It demoed great. Now it's 40,000 lines nobody understands, the API keys are in the frontend, and every fix breaks two other things. We bust the slop and hand you back software you can actually ship.

Signs of an infestation

Vibe coding gets you to a demo fast. Then the slop piles up, one accepted suggestion at a time, until nobody can touch the code without something breaking. Seen any of these?

  • SYMPTOM 01

    Secrets in the open

    API keys shipped to the browser. Database wide open. Your billing dashboard is about to have a very bad week.

    const STRIPE_KEY = "sk_live_…"
  • SYMPTOM 02

    The 3,000-line component

    One file does auth, payments, routing and the dark-mode toggle. Scrolling it takes a lunch break.

    Dashboard.tsx  // 3,412 lines
  • SYMPTOM 03

    Clone colonies

    The same function, pasted nine times with tiny differences. Fix a bug in one and eight others stay broken.

    utils.ts  utils2.ts  utils_final.ts  utils_final_v2.ts
  • SYMPTOM 04

    Swallowed errors

    Failures vanish without a trace, so bugs show up as “it just doesn't work sometimes.”

    try { … } catch (e) { }
  • SYMPTOM 05

    Phantom packages

    Dependencies that don't exist, are abandoned, or were installed three times at three versions.

    npm ERR! 404 'react-auth-helper-pro'
  • SYMPTOM 06

    The fix loop

    Ask the AI to fix the login bug. It does. Now checkout is broken. Repeat until morale hits zero.

    // ✅ Fixed! Everything should work now 🚀

Our cleanup arsenal

Senior engineers, not more prompts. We use AI the way a plumber uses a drain snake: a handy tool, never the one in charge.

Start here

Slop Scan

A full inspection of your repo. You get a plain-English report of what's broken, what's risky, and what to fix first.

  • Architecture and code-quality review
  • Dependency and license check
  • Prioritized “slop map” with effort estimates
Urgent

Security Purge

We close the holes before someone else finds them: leaked keys, missing auth checks, open databases, injection risks.

  • Secrets rotated and moved server-side
  • Auth, permissions and database rules fixed
  • Rate limits and input validation
Most called

Refactor & Rescue

We untangle the spaghetti without a rewrite: split giant files, kill duplicates, add types and tests, and keep the app running the whole time.

  • Small, reviewable pull requests
  • Test coverage on the parts that matter
  • Performance fixes and dead-code removal
Prevention

Slop Containment

Keep vibe coding, minus the mess. We set up the guardrails so AI-written code gets checked before it lands.

  • CI, linting, type checks and review gates
  • Agent rules files for your AI coding tools
  • Team training on AI-assisted coding

The Slop-o-Meter

Paste a chunk of code your AI wrote. Our field device will sniff out the usual suspects. Nothing leaves your browser.

Reading
--Awaiting specimen

For entertainment. It pattern-matches common smells; it doesn't run or truly understand your code. A real Slop Scan is done by humans.

How a bust goes down

From “nobody wants to touch that file” to a codebase your team can work in again.

  1. 01

    The call

    Tell us what you built, what's on fire and what you need to ship next. 20 minutes, free.

  2. 02

    Slop Scan

    Read-only repo access. Within a week you get a written report and a ranked fix list.

  3. 03

    The bust

    We fix it in small pull requests to your repo. You review and merge every one.

  4. 04

    Containment

    CI, tests and guardrails so the next round of AI code doesn't undo the work.

Flat-rate where we can, honest estimates where we can't. Every rescue starts with a scan.

The Slopbuster's Oath

We're not anti-AI. We're anti-slop.

Vibe coding is a great way to start. It's a rough way to scale. We don't shame you for how it got built; we make it something you can grow on.

  • Humans read every line

    Every change we ship is written or reviewed by an experienced engineer.

  • Tests or it didn't happen

    If we touch it, we prove it works, and leave the tests behind for you.

  • You own everything

    All work lands in your repo as normal pull requests. No lock-in, no secret sauce.
