# Specification: Aligning Intent with the Agent

Vibe Coding can handle requirements that fit in a single afternoon. Once a project needs sustained iteration, the conversational mode of Vibe Coding becomes a bottleneck for intent alignment.

This chapter is about building mechanisms for intent alignment. It starts by diagnosing why Vibe Coding fails, establishes a methodological framework around information layering and structured dimensions, then shows how to use that framework to iteratively produce a spec ready for Agent execution. Finally, a real-world project workflow ties everything together.
