The ULTIMATE Vibe Coding Playbook 10 Tips to Level Up Your AI Coding Workflow



AI Summary

Summary of Tips for Effective Vibe Coding

  1. Use an AI-Friendly Stack:
    • Choose frameworks and tools familiar to AI (e.g., Next.js with TypeScript, TRPC for API, Prisma for ORM, Supabase for database, Tailwind for styling).
  2. Start Outside the IDE:
    • Initiate projects using speech-to-text tools (e.g., Super Whisper) to brainstorm ideas before coding.
    • Utilize AI models for creating Business Requirement Documents (BRD) and Product Requirement Documents (PRD).
  3. Utilize a Task List:
    • Create a markdown file with checklist items the AI can track to enhance productivity.
  4. Use Storybook for UI Testing:
    • Employ Storybook to test and visualize front-end components and their various states.
  5. Implement a Rubric:
    • Establish criteria with categories (e.g., colors, spacing) and examples to guide AI in generating high-quality outputs.
  6. Copy and Paste Codebases:
    • Use tools like Pastemax to input code into AI for better context and insights.
  7. Organize Cursor Rules:
    • Optimize coding rules shared with AI for clarity and brevity.
  8. Add Cursor Updates:
    • Maintain a file in the codebase for updates on changes made by the AI.
  9. MIP (Make It Pop):
    • Request design improvements for less appealing components using AI suggestions.
  10. Vibe Debugging:
  • Rather than fixing code directly, ask AI for possible explanations of the issue without changing the code.
