BRIEFING // 006

What is
Vibecoding?

Building software by describing how it should "feel" and behave, rather than writing every line of syntax.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • 01You act as the Product Manager; AI acts as the Engineer.
  • 02The Loop: Prompt → Run → Refine.
  • 03Relies on "Composer" tools like Cursor, Windsurf, or Bolt.

Definition

Vibecoding is a development style where you use natural language to guide an AI agent to build software. Instead of focusing on syntax or libraries, you focus on the "vibe"—the user experience, the flow, and the outcome.

It requires a shift in mindset: you are no longer the typist. You are the Creative Director. You spot errors, suggest style tweaks, and push the AI to refactor code until it "feels right."

The Loop

Vibecoding is not "one-shot" generation. It is a rapid, conversational loop.

PROMPT

Describe the Goal

"Make a dashboard that looks like a retro sci-fi interface. Use neon green borders."

RUN

See the Build

The AI writes the code and renders the app immediately. You see it live.

REFINE

Vibe Check

"Too bright. Dim the background and make the buttons rounder."

Common Uses

This approach is perfect for tools that need to exist now, not in three months.

BEST FITS

  • Internal Admin Panels
  • Data Visualization Dashboards
  • Marketing Landing Pages
  • Disposable Utilities (e.g., file converters)

Modern Safety

Don't worry about reading every line of code. Focus on the output. Does it work? Is it secure?

THE SANDBOX RULE

Always run vibecoded apps in a container or sandbox first. If it works there, ship it. Use version control (Git) so you can always "undo" a bad vibe.
