VIBECODING.AE // TRUST & TRANSPARENCY

Editorial Standards & Disclosure Policy

How we research and review AI coding tools, how we handle publication and revision dates, where AI tools assist our workflow, and how commercial relationships are disclosed.

1. Hands-On Workflows vs. Primary-Source Desk Coverage

Coverage on vibecoding.ae includes both hands-on workflow tutorials and primary-source desk analysis synthesized from official vendor documentation, changelogs, and release notes. We do not fabricate benchmark scores, synthetic ratings, or customer case studies.

Where a guide or tool comparison cites specific subscription tiers, token rates, or CLI flags, treat those details as point-in-time observations. Because AI coding agents evolve rapidly, always verify current capabilities and pricing on the vendor's official website before committing team budget.

2. Publication & Revision Dates

Articles display their publication date (Published). When an existing guide receives a substantive factual revision, such as updated CLI commands, workflow steps, or pricing tiers, we display an Updated date matching the revision timestamp in our structured metadata. We do not bump article dates for cosmetic edits.

3. Use of AI Coding Agents & Language Models

We practice what we cover. AI coding agents and language models (such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Gemini) are used to assist with research briefs, code snippet preparation, and draft structuring, combined with editorial direction and build/link verification checks.

4. Commercial Relationships, Affiliates & Advisory

  • Advisory & Diagnostics: We offer a bounded AI Coding Workflow Diagnostic for founders and engineering teams. Advisory clients never influence editorial tool comparisons.
  • Affiliate & Sponsored Links: When an article or directory entry includes a compensated partner link or sponsored placement, the outbound link is marked with rel="sponsored" and disclosed clearly on the page.
  • Open-Source & Non-Affiliate Alternatives: Our Tools Directory and comparison guides always include open-source and non-affiliate alternatives (such as Goose, OpenCode, Cline, Roo, and Kilo) alongside commercial tools.

5. Corrections & Feedback

If you spot an outdated CLI flag, broken link, or factual inaccuracy in any guide, please email hello@vibecoding.ae with the article URL and source reference.
