I was handed a pile of vibe code. And you might be surprised to learn that it has a ton of bugs.

And tips on how to dissect it and break it up into something manageable?

Unironically get Opus to get you a base of a flow document based on the code so you can figure it out.

Then of course, you dig in yourself, understanding what Opus said, then fiflling in the gaps.

Edit: I don't think you need to pay for Cursor to prompt Opus once for this. Just make sure to use Opus, Auto picks the dumbest model available on free tier.
