Building things that last.

Livid Labs is a small product studio. We build software, operate communities, and advise on technology. Our work tends to stick around.

Current focus

Codefall
Opinionated agentic
engineering.

codefall.dev →

"Stop vibing your code and start specifying it."

AI writes code fast. Codefall makes sure it ships right. A spec-driven development toolkit for coding harnesses that brings structure, guardrails, and process to AI-generated codebases — so your project doesn't become a pile of vibes.

  • Works with your existing coding harnesses
  • Skills enforce a spec-driven workflow, from feature spec to parallel implementation
  • Terminal IDE in progress, for the full development loop
  • Built for teams who ship with AI, not just experiment with it

StatusBeta · CLI & Skills available, IDE coming soon
