Slide Deck: From Vibe Coding to Production-Ready (CincyDeliver 2026)

Vibe coding produces impressive demos and expensive cleanup. Describe what you want, the AI generates something that looks right, then you burn hours on why it does not fit your architecture.

In this CincyDeliver 2026 session, ArchitectNow Founder and President Kevin Grossnicklaus walks through spec-driven development with GitHub Spec Kit: treat the agent like a highly capable junior developer, give it a real spec, and stay in the chair while it implements and verifies.

The talk covers:

• Why vibe coding costs teams real time and money
• The big shift: the bottleneck moved from writing code to writing the spec, and the spec becomes the durable artifact
• When a change needs a one-shot, a structured prompt, or a full Spec Kit spec
• Installing GitHub Spec Kit and what the .specify/ folder drops into your repo
• The five-stage loop: specify, clarify, plan, tasks, implement
• /speckit.constitution, where architects encode architecture, standards, security, testing, tech choices, and team norms once
• Setting up both agents, Claude Code and GitHub Copilot CLI, and why the same specs drive either one
• The payoff: reviews verify artifacts instead of reading 800 lines of code, and specs become living documentation that survives turnover
• An honest read on velocity: real gains, directional numbers, no promised multiplier
