Error explainer for vibe coders
Explain a stack trace in plain English and suggest a targeted fix prompt.
How to set it up
- Copy the full error message and stack trace.
- Include what you were doing when it broke and what changed recently.
- Ask for a plain-English explanation before any code changes.
Copy-paste starter prompt
Works in ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, or any agent tool. Replace the parts in brackets.
Explain this error in plain English: what it means, which file and line it points to, and the two most likely causes. Do not change any code yet. Then write one short, specific prompt I can give my coding AI to fix it. Error: [paste].
Keep a human in the loop
Make the AI explain before it edits. It stops the guess-and-retry loop.
Who it is for
People in the Vibe coding niche who want one job handled by an AI agent without building a platform from scratch.
