Build DNA

An AI-powered 6-dimension evaluation framework that scores software builds on Spec Clarity, Prompt Quality, Architecture, Code Quality, UI/UX, and Deploy Readiness.

What is Build DNA?

Build DNA is the proprietary evaluation and grading engine developed by Vibe Coding Codex.

When a student completes a building mission and submits their live deployment URL and GitHub repository, the Build DNA engine evaluates the project across 6 fundamental engineering dimensions:

The 6 Scoring Dimensions

    • Spec Clarity (0-100): Evaluates the precision, depth, and boundary definition of the locked PRD spec.
    • Prompt Quality (0-100): Analyzes prompt specificity, context inclusion, and step incrementalism.
    • Architecture (0-100): Verifies semantic HTML elements, component hierarchy, and route separation.
    • Code Quality (0-100): Inspects CSS custom property usage, type safety, and clean import paths.
    • UI/UX Execution (0-100): Evaluates visual polish, dark theme contrast, hover states, and smooth transitions.
    • Deployment Readiness (0-100): Confirms live URL responsiveness, DOM stability, and error-free console logs.
