Do You Vibecode?

Vibecoding: The art of building software by collaborating with AI coding agents. Instead of writing code line-by-line, you guide AI through clear requirements and iterative refinement—where vision meets AI-driven development.

We've got 4 steps to make you better:

  1. Brainstorm & Plan

    • Use an LLM conversation to identify app needs.
    • Keep prompts concise. Be direct.
    • Remind your LLM to ask questions to refine your idea.

  2. Develop a PRD

    (Product Requirement Document)

    • Define the app's purpose, users, and features.
    • Outline interactions and data flows with the model.
    • Try multiple AI models (GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, etc.).

  3. Convert PRD into Tasks

    • Ask LLM to break down PRD features into actionable tasks.
    • Verify tasks align with your coding agent's capabilities.
    • Aim for granular clarity—agents thrive on precision.

  4. Build & Iterate

    • Use vibecode platforms for rapid development.
    • Paste or upload your PRD and Task List to get started.
    • Test small. Refine prompts. Don't forget security.
