Vibe coding in five moves
Vibe coding is a workflow where you describe a product in plain language, AI writes the code, and you review, steer, and improve until something works.
The real skill is not memorizing syntax. It is defining an outcome, shrinking an idea into a small first version, checking what AI built, and asking for precise fixes.
The process in short
- 01Describe what you want
- 02Let the AI write a draft
- 03Check whether it works as intended
- 04Ask for a precise fix or improvement
- 05Ship the working version
The five disciplines
Describe outcomes, not implementation
Say what the user should see and do. Save file names and libraries for when the model asks—or when you are debugging.
Review every diff
Agents are fast, not infallible. Read changes before you run or deploy; security and correctness are still your job.
Iterate in small takes
One feature per prompt beats a ten-page spec. Ship a slice, test it, then queue the next request.
Ground the model in real data
Paste errors, sample rows, and screenshots. Vague context produces vague code.
Pick the right path
Beginner paths teach fluency; Agent Builder teaches shipping with tools. Choose the path that matches your goal.
