Vibe Coding Legal Tools
A free beginner build-along for creating a source-grounded legal research prototype with an AI coding agent and the Descrybe Open Connector.
Follow the real build process behind a proof-of-concept brief checker. Start with a blank folder, give an AI coding agent the Open Connector repository, and work in small steps until the app can connect to Descrybe, search for cases, and retrieve case details.
The course keeps the trial and error in view. You will practice reading the agent’s handoffs, running what it creates, reporting exact errors, restoring behavior that regresses, and checking the full path after every change.
The reading is public and free. To complete the hands-on connection and research steps, you will need a Descrybe account with Legal Engine access and an AI coding tool such as Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or a comparable agent.

Build a Legal Tool One Small Step at a Time
Start a proof-of-concept brief checker without trying to design the entire app in one prompt.
Give Your Coding Agent the Open Connector
Start with the repository URL and one narrow goal instead of an enormous specification.
Run the App and Authorize Descrybe
Use the agent’s launch instructions, complete the browser authorization, and ask for help when the flow is unclear.
Test the Connection Before Building More
List the available tools and run a concept search before adding another feature.
Add a Case-Details Viewer
Turn one search result into a second small, testable feature.
Build, Test, Fix, and Repeat
Use exact symptoms and errors to help the coding agent repair what the first attempt missed.
Extend Your First Legal Tool
Review the working foundation and choose one safe, small next feature.
