Vibe Coding Cleanup

A full rewrite replaces everything at once. That usually means long timelines, shifting requirements, duplicated effort, and a high risk of losing working behavior.

Our AI code cleanup approach keeps the system running while we fix what’s actually causing instability. We identify the fragile areas, remove hidden coupling, and refactor in small, controlled slices with clear boundaries. Business-critical behavior stays intact, and improvements land incrementally instead of in one big cutover. All releases are coordinated with you and scheduled for moments that create minimal impact on the user experience.

This keeps the scope realistic, reduces delivery risk, and avoids spending months rebuilding parts of the system that already work.

We start with a fast scan of architecture and vibe coding patterns to spot red flags: duplicated logic, unclear ownership, tightly coupled modules, inconsistent abstractions, and areas with high churn. Then we validate suspicions against what actually happens in production: error logs, incident history, performance traces, and the paths most frequently used by users.

We also look for “looks fine, fails later” code. Places where inputs are weakly validated, side effects are hidden, state changes are implicit, and behavior depends on order, timing, or environment. These areas often read as correct but break under load, edge cases, or small changes.

From there, we map hotspots and define priorities with your team, based on impact.

We treat vibe coding cleanup with the same quality standards as full product work. Before changing anything in your system, we align on what “done right” means for your system : stability expectations, acceptable risk, and which behaviors must remain untouched.

As the work progresses, every change is reviewed against those criteria. You stay involved, see what’s being adjusted, and can flag concerns early. That’s how we keep our acceptance rate at 99.89%, by embedding quality into every step of the work instead of trying to verify it at the end.

We keep you in control by making every change visible and traceable.

You see exactly what’s being touched, why it’s being changed, and what impact it has before anything ships. Cleanup work is broken into small, reviewable steps, with clear context and documentation around each decision.

Nothing happens in the background. You can follow progress, review diffs, and approve direction as the work moves forward, so there are no surprises and no loss of ownership over the codebase.

As we work, we document the reasoning behind changes, not just the changes themselves: why certain structures exist, what was removed, and what rules the system now follows. That context is captured alongside the code, we don’t bury it in chat threads.

Your team stays involved throughout the process, reviewing changes and understanding the new structure as it’s introduced. By the time vibe coding cleanup is done, the codebase is readable, predictable, and supported by clear documentation, so your team can own it confidently without relying on us long-term.

We make sure what’s delivered matches what was approved by keeping the scope concrete and traceable throughout the cleanup.

Every change is tied back to an agreed goal or risk area. Nothing is reworked “just because,” and nothing slips in without visibility. You always understand what is being updated, the intent behind every update, and how it connects to the original plan.

That structure prevents scope drift and ensures the final state of the codebase matches what you signed off on.

We don’t rotate engineers in and out of ongoing work. Our teams stay on projects long term, with an average engagement of 3.3 years. The same people who analyze your codebase are the ones fixing it, documenting decisions, and validating the results. That continuity is deliberate; it prevents context loss and keeps the work efficient and accurate.

When it is time for a handover, it’s handled through documented context and structured onboarding. The goal is continuity first, not just availability.

The goal of the cleanup is to make the codebase understandable and manageable without us.

We document structure, decisions, and patterns as we go, so your team isn’t left guessing why things work the way they do. The code is simplified, conventions are clarified, and hidden dependencies are removed, making it easier to maintain and extend.

By the time we’re done, your team has both the context and the structure needed to work confidently without relying on us.

90% of our clients are based in the US and UK, and clear, direct communication is something we’re known for. We explain technical details in plain language, avoid unnecessary jargon, and make sure nothing gets lost in translation.

At the start, we set up a clear communication flow so you know who to talk to, how updates are shared, and when your involvement is needed. If anything is unclear at any point, we walk through it together until it makes sense.

Once the work is delivered, the codebase, documentation, and any related assets are fully yours. There are no shared rights, hidden clauses, or dependencies that tie you back to us. We make this clear in the contract from the start, so ownership is never ambiguous.

Our role is to help you clean up and stabilize the system, not retain control over it. Once the work is done, you’re free to maintain, extend, or transfer the code however you choose.

We’ve built our operations to stay stable regardless of location.

Our team is distributed across multiple regions, with backup infrastructure, redundant connectivity, and clear continuity plans in place. Work doesn’t rely on a single office, network, or individual, so delivery isn’t disrupted by local issues.

This setup has allowed us to keep projects running without interruption throughout recent years.

We keep delivery predictable by breaking the work into clear, manageable phases and reviewing progress continuously. Our 10+ years of experience guide realistic scoping, so timelines stay reliable.

Each phase has a defined scope and checkpoints, so issues surface early instead of piling up. We track delivery health using SPI and CPI (our track record shows that we keep variance under 10%), allowing us to correct course before small deviations turn into real delays or budget overruns.
