I figured out the best way to vibe code
TL;DR
Experts automate the whole coding loop: Matthew Berman says the real jump from beginner to expert is moving from manual prompting to systems that trigger agents automatically and keep running until a defined goal is met.
Skills are the core reusable building block: His rule is simple, if you do something more than once, turn it into a skill, whether that is auto-review, test commands, GitHub issue formatting, or API-specific instructions.
Greptile becomes an AI code reviewer with a confidence score: In his workflow, Greptile reviews every PR, summarizes changed files, scores merge confidence from 0 to 5, flags issues, and even generates prompts an agent can use to fix them.
Loops make maintenance work continuous instead of manual: He shares concrete loops like an overnight docs sweep, a nightly production error sweep, and a performance loop that kept optimizing until every page, modal, and sidebar loaded under 50 ms.
Cloud agents win when you run 10 to 30 agents in parallel: Berman likes local agents for speed and control, but says cloud agents are better for isolation, parallelism, and remote access, especially when his computer otherwise slows to a crawl.
Merging and deploys are still a mess at agent scale: Even after talking with OpenAI, Cursor, and top agentic engineers, he says parallel PRs rebasing and re-triggering CI is still an unsolved bottleneck, with batch commits as only a partial workaround.
The Breakdown
The best AI coders are not sitting in a prompt-review-prompt loop. They are wiring agents into skills, automations, and long-running loops that fix PR comments, sweep production logs, and even force every page in an app under 50 ms.

Cheap Models, Hard Tasks
Most agent workflows route every step to the frontier model by default. The bill scales with how chatty the agent gets, even when most steps don't need that brain.
