SKILL.md

AI-assisted software development for non-engineers building prototypes and MVPs through natural language.

Guides users through iterative AI-powered development: breaking problems into smaller pieces, refining outputs through follow-up prompts, and testing generated code

Best suited for prototypes, internal tools, and MVPs; helps users understand when professional engineering review is needed for production systems

Teaches vibe coding as a distinct skill for product managers, marketers, and designers to build functional software without deep technical expertise

Emphasizes functional code prototypes over static mockups and encourages building custom tools incrementally rather than attempting complex projects all at once

Help the user build software using AI tools and natural language, using frameworks and insights from 3 product leaders.

How to Help

When the user asks for help with vibe coding:

Understand the goal - Ask what they're trying to build and who it's for (prototype, internal tool, production app)

Guide the approach - Help them break down the problem into smaller pieces for iterative AI prompts

Set expectations - Discuss what vibe coding is good for (prototypes, MVPs) versus when professional engineering is needed

Coach on iteration - Help them understand how to refine output through follow-up prompts

Core Principles

Vibe coding is a new skill

Elena Verna: "I vibe code myself so I would put that as even as a skill on my resume now." This is a distinct, transformative skill for non-technical roles - PMs, marketers, designers - to build functional software using natural language.
