The Vibe Coder's Bible: A Development Protocol From Idea to Release

Hi. My name is Pavlo Chabanov, I'm a software engineer and developer with 30 years of experience. I've prepared for you and for your agent an instruction that will keep you disciplined in building quality software through a protocol of prof

LLM Studio: training custom models with result verification

LLM Studio is a Snaga platform tool for training your own language models for a specific domain. Unlike supervised fine-tuning on input/output pairs, training uses a domain verifier: the generated output is executed, and the score is comput

What's new in Snaga

The platform has grown a lot this past month — from a single AI chat into a visual command center for whole teams of agents. Here's what you can do now. - Build squads visually — an n8n-style canvas: drag to connect agents, inspect any n

Your AI team: what to hand off first

By Pavlo Chabanov — founder of Snaga. If you run a small company, the work that has to happen — answering customers, writing posts, chasing leads, reconciling numbers — never stops. And it is almost never the work you started the company t

What the model sees: the first level, solved

Last time I set the direction toward end-to-end confidential inference. This is the arrival: a working system you can watch, with its cryptographic core grounded in Ada and SPARK — and the deeper layers it now frees us to build. By Pavlo C

What the model sees: toward end-to-end confidential inference

By Pavlo Chabanov — founder of Snaga and the engineer behind its agent runtime. --- Every time you send a prompt to a hosted language model, it is decrypted and read in cleartext on someone else's machine. TLS protects the message in tran

The Head Agent

Every Pod begins with one member: the Head Agent. It's the first thing that exists in your workspace — before any squad, before any specialist, before the first task. You write to it the way you'd write in a notebook, and behind that one qu

The constitution

By Pavlo Chabanov — the engineer who built the Snaga ecosystem, and the author of its constitution. --- Every platform that gives agents real autonomy faces the same question sooner or later: when software acts on its own, what binds it?

SPECs: how your agents learn

An agent in your Pod isn't born knowing how to research a market, read a PDF, or place an order. And you don't teach it by programming. You hand it a SPEC. A SPEC is a sealed package of capability. Tools, skills, views and permissions — ve

Paper under glass

Most software is made of one material: pixels pretending to be nothing in particular. Snaga is made of two. Warm paper holds the content. Cold glass holds the interface. They never mix. This is the whole philosophy. Everything else follow
