Core Workflow

Default Safe Workflow

vib checkpoint "before work"
vib doctor --strict
vib anchor
# ask your host AI to make the edit after it reads AGENTS.md
vib explain --write-report
vib guard --strict --write-report
vib checkpoint "done"

Why This Flow Exists

  • checkpoint gives you a rollback point
  • doctor catches obvious project issues early
  • anchor makes edit locations more precise
  • your host AI reads the rules and edits inside the intended project surface
  • explain helps review what actually changed
  • guard checks that the project still looks healthy

When To Use Undo

Use undo when AI changed the wrong files, broke the project, or took the work in the wrong direction. The intended workflow is to save first, experiment second.
