# vibe_erp documentation

vibe_erp is an ERP/EBC framework for the printing industry, designed so customer-specific workflows are assembled by configuration and plug-ins instead of by forking the core. This index is the entry point to the framework's own documentation. The full architecture spec lives at [`superpowers/specs/2026-04-07-vibe-erp-architecture-design.md`](superpowers/specs/2026-04-07-vibe-erp-architecture-design.md) and is the source of truth for everything in this tree.
