Vibe coding is getting expensive — how are you handling prompt inefficiency?

by

I’ve been digging into something interesting while building for vibe coding tools like Lovable, Replit Agent, and .

Most people assume failures come from the tools themselves.

But in reality, a lot of issues come from something upstream:

messy, unstructured prompts.

What I’m seeing in practice:

  • Lovable users burning credits through repeated UI corrections

  • Replit Agent getting stuck in debugging loops

  • Bolt projects blowing up token usage because context isn’t structured

I’m curious:

👉 How are you currently structuring your prompts or app ideas before sending them into these tools?

Are you:

  • winging it?

  • using templates?

  • iterating inside the tool itself?

Would love to hear real workflows from others building in this space.
