A Practical Handbook for AI-Assisted Development Without Invisible Security Debt

AI didn’t just speed up development. It changed the cost structure of software engineering. Code now arrives pre-shaped. Architecture decisions appear inside generated diffs. Tests can agree with implementations that are both wrong. Without guardrails, you don’t just get speed. You get silent scope creep, hidden assumptions, and security debt that compounds.

The Secure VIBE Coding Framework from Security Journey treats vibe coding as a first-class workflow. Instead of banning AI or hoping reviews catch everything, this guide gives you a practical system: define Vision before code, constrain change boundaries, ship in small verified slices, and wire enforcement into how you already work. The result is reviewable diffs, visible promises, and proof, not vibes.

What’s Inside?

• The Vibe Coding Shift How AI changes your threat model and pushes risk upstream

• Core Principles AI as a junior engineer, human ownership, AI disclosure, and small reviewable loops

• Vision Write clear Vision slices with invariants, failure rules, and proof hooks

• Interfaces and Boundaries Define the surface, promise, and proof to contain change

• Build Loops Ship small, diff-only slices with tight edit scopes

• Enforcement at Scale PR posture, AI disclosure, CI guardrails, and risk-based review

• Reader Paths Practical adoption for solo engineers, teams, and organizations

• Templates and Checklists Ready-to-use rules files, contracts, posture blocks, and quick guides
