Vibe Coding Cleanup: Make AI-Built Code Safe to Ship

AI generated code cleanup for teams who prompted their way to a working product and now cannot change it safely. We audit what is there, put tests around current behaviour, and refactor in slices that keep you shipping.

02 Capabilities

AI Generated Code Cleanup Services

AI generated code cleanup covers an audit, tests, refactoring and guardrails. Together they turn something that works into something you can safely change. We characterise the current behaviour first, so any refactor can be proved not to have broken something that was quietly load bearing.

What is fine-tuning?
  1. Codebase Audit

    What actually exists: architecture, duplication, dead code, dependency risk and the files everyone avoids, with a written verdict on extend versus replace.

    What is fine-tuning?
  2. Security & Secrets Review

    Hardcoded keys, missing authorisation checks, unvalidated input and permissive defaults. Generated code is confident about happy paths and quiet about these.

    What is fine-tuning?
  3. Test Harness First

    Coverage around what the product does today before anything moves, because a refactor without tests is a rewrite with extra steps.

    What is fine-tuning?
  4. Incremental Refactor

    Small reviewable changes that keep the product shippable throughout, no three-month branch and no big-bang cutover.

    What is fine-tuning?
  5. CI & Dependency Guardrails

    Pipelines, linting, review rules and dependency policy, so the same drift cannot quietly happen again after we leave.

    What is fine-tuning?
  6. Documentation & Handover

    The architecture and the decisions written down, so your team owns the reasoning rather than inheriting the output.

03 Our process

How AI Generated Code Cleanup Runs

A cleanup runs in six steps, from audit through test coverage and staged refactoring, to a codebase your team owns with confidence. The work happens in slices that keep you shipping, because a three month freeze is rarely a trade a growing product can make.

Get Started
  1. Codebase Audit

    A read of what actually exists: architecture, dependencies, dead code, security exposure and the parts nobody dares touch.

  2. Risk & Debt Triage

    Findings ranked by what could break a customer versus what is merely ugly, so the first fixes are the ones that matter.

  3. Test Harness First

    Coverage around current behaviour before anything is refactored, otherwise a rewrite is a rumour rather than a change you can verify.

  4. Refactor in Slices

    Small, reviewable changes that keep the product shippable throughout. No branch that lives for three months.

  5. CI & Guardrails

    Pipelines, linting, review rules and dependency policy, so the same drift cannot quietly happen again.

  6. Handover & Standards

    Documented architecture and conventions your team owns, with the decisions written down rather than remembered.

08 Challenges

What AI-built codebases get wrong

AI built codebases tend to share the same problems: duplicated logic nobody consolidated, no tests describing intended behaviour, secrets and permissions handled inconsistently, and dependencies added by whichever prompt happened to need them. We take each one in order of what would hurt most if it failed.

Nobody can explain how it works

The code was generated, accepted and shipped. It works, no one can say why, and every change is a gamble taken in production.

The same logic in six places

Each prompt produced its own copy. A bug fix has to be found and applied six times, and the seventh copy is discovered by a customer.

Secrets and missing auth checks

API keys in the repo and endpoints that never check who is calling. Generated code is fluent about features and silent about authorisation.

No tests, so no safe changes

Zero coverage means every release is manual regression testing, so the team stops refactoring and the debt compounds.

Dependencies nobody chose

Forty packages pulled in to solve five problems, several unmaintained, some overlapping. Upgrades are impossible to reason about.

It broke the moment it grew

Patterns that were fine for a prototype fall over at the first real load: no pagination, no indexes, no background jobs.

09 Advantages

Why Teams Call Us for AI Generated Code Cleanup

Teams call us because we keep them shipping through the cleanup and leave guardrails behind so the drift cannot quietly return. Tests, review rules and dependency checks stay in place after we go, which is what stops the same problem reappearing in six months.

  • You Keep Shipping

    Refactoring happens in small reviewable slices behind your normal release process, so the product stays live throughout. No freeze, no long-lived branch.

  • Tests Before Changes

    We characterise current behaviour first, which is the only way to prove a refactor changed structure and not function.

  • Security Looked At Deliberately

    Secrets, authorisation and input validation get a dedicated pass, because these are the specific things generated code is reliably weakest on.

  • An Honest Verdict

    Sometimes the answer is replace rather than rescue, and we will say so in the audit with the reasoning, before you have paid for a refactor.

  • Guardrails That Outlast Us

    CI, linting, review rules and dependency policy, so the codebase cannot quietly drift back once your team is on its own.

  • Handed Over, Not Held

    Documented architecture and conventions your team owns. The goal is that you do not need us again.

11 FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The things teams ask before starting with us.

AI generated code cleanup starts with an audit and a set of tests describing what the system currently does. Refactoring then happens in slices that keep you shipping, and guardrails stay in place afterwards so the same drift cannot quietly return in six months.

Sometimes, and the audit answers it honestly. The deciding factors are usually whether the data model is sound and whether authorisation can be centralised, if both are salvageable, incremental refactoring is almost always cheaper and far less risky, because you keep shipping. If they are not, we will say replace, and scope it in slices rather than as a big-bang rewrite.

Less than the current state does. The first two weeks are audit and tests, which produces no features, after that, cleanup runs alongside feature work in the same sprints. Most teams find velocity improves within a month or two, because changes stop causing unrelated breakages.

We start with a short discovery call to clarify goals, constraints, and success metrics. Then we identify high-impact AI use cases, review your data and systems, and propose a phased roadmap with costs and risks attached to each phase.

Discovery runs 2 to 4 weeks, an MVP typically lands in 8 to 16 weeks of weekly-demo sprints, and operate is an ongoing arrangement with monitoring and support after launch.

Fixed-scope work is priced per milestone, dedicated teams are billed monthly per seat, and staff augmentation is weekly or monthly. You pick the model that fits and can switch between phases. There is a fuller breakdown of what moves the number on our AI development cost page.

You do. The full repository, documentation, and deployment transfer to you at every milestone, with no lock-in to us.

NDAs from day one, scoped access, and data residency decided at the architecture stage. We work within HIPAA, SOC 2, and similar requirements where they apply.

We monitor accuracy, cost, and uptime, run regression checks as models drift, and keep a defined escalation path with support so the system stays healthy after release.
