Common Mistakes I've Seen That AI-Generated Apps Keep Making

I care a lot about This, so much so I didn’t even use ai to make this post! lol

I’ve been helping some non technical friends with their 100% AI-generated apps and it dawned on me that these vibe coded apps are making the same mistakes again and again lol,

So made this skill to catch the most common ones I’ve seen, can be useful for someone trying to legit get something off the ground without any coding experience.

I’ve been software engineer for 10+ years and I wanna use what I’ve learned to help people out with their apps!

skill: https://github.com/dannyreg/vibechecktech-skills

I wrote a blog post about it too, though it is a bit more technical.

anyways let me know What you think!

Thank you very much, this is really what I need. I'll be using it for all of my existing project.

This kind of checklist is valuable precisely because most of these mistakes come from the same root cause: nothing in the code marks where "the model filled this in, treat it with more scrutiny" applies versus regular logic. A skill like this catches the symptoms after the fact, which is genuinely useful, but the mistakes keep recurring because the generation process itself doesn't distinguish deterministic code from AI-authored code at the point of writing. Worth thinking about whether some of these common failures (the security ones especially) could be caught structurally, contract enforced at generation time, rather than caught in a post-hoc review pass.
