I vibe coded an invoice generator by first vibe coding a "template" command line tool as a bash script that substitutes {{words}} in a libre office writer document (those are just zipped xml files, so you can unpack them to a temp directory and substitute raw text without xml awareness), and in the end it calls libre office's cli to convert it to pdf. I also asked the AI to generate a documentation text file, so that the next AI conversation could use the command as a black box.

The vibe coded main invoice generator script then does the calendar calculations to figure out the pay cycle and examines existing invoices in the invoice directory to determine the next invoice number (the invoice number is in the file name, so it doesn't need to open the files). When it is done with the calculations, it uses the template command to generate the final invoice.

This is a very small example, but I do think that clearly defined modules/microservices/libraries are a good way to only put the relevant work context into the limited context window.

It also happens to be more human-friendly, I think?
