What sets 'agentic engineering' apart from 'vibe coding'?

are very good at generating code, but they can guess wrong and steer a project in the wrong direction if left unchecked. Avoiding that means the developer stays in control of the important decisions while still letting the AI handle as much of the work as possible — which is what separates this approach from simply typing loose prompts and accepting whatever the AI produces. The daily workflow described works across projects of very different kinds, whether working solo or with a team, and it is built on 'skills' (reusable task procedures).
