VibeWise is a Claude Code and Codex plugin designed to keep developers actively learning while AI handles implementation work. Instead of immediately generating code, it first asks the user to reason through behavior, architecture, and tradeoffs. Build checkpoints focus on how a feature should work, while design checkpoints record agreed technical decisions. Implementation checkpoints explicitly authorize the agent to write the planned code and run its tests. After coding, the agent explains what changed and why, preserving the educational context of the task. Learning notes persist between sessions and can be shared between Claude Code and Codex, making the plugin useful for beginners and experienced developers exploring unfamiliar stacks.
