The unit of feeding in VibeMon. One drop is awarded per eligible hook event from a supported AI coding agent.

A structured message that an AI coding agent emits at a defined point in its lifecycle. VibeMon's hook endpoint receives these and converts them into drops.

A growth checkpoint in a VibeMon slime's lifecycle. Slimes advance through six stages (0–5) before reaching Perfect.

Streak

also: current streak, coding streak

The number of consecutive calendar days on which a user has earned at least one drop. Displayed on the profile and in the app.

Tier

also: rank, level

A cumulative rank based on how many times a user has reached Perfect. Tiers go from 1 (Hatchling) to 6 (Legend) and persist across slime resets.

Vibe coding

also: vibecoding

A programming workflow where a developer prompts an AI coding agent in natural language and reviews the intent of the output rather than the syntax.
