In my experience I tried to come into a vibe project as a reviewer, and it felt completely unreadable with no underlying principles to hold on to. Like every function was written by a different guy almost.

Now you totally can stuff the context with instructions about how to do everything. And then add 50x mcps to retrieve documentation and policy about how to write the thing, but this is like cheating on an exam by remembering the answers. You already supplied enough context to write the thing yourself.

Considering how LLMs work, you might be right.

I wonder if this stuff is really worse than the software I write.
