# vibe-build

This skill takes a new-project slice from the brief to a working user journey and relevant checks. Use it when a passing build alone is not enough.

## What it does

\`vibe-build` turns a project brief into an expected outcome and acceptance criteria, reads the repository guidance needed for the slice, then implements the requested behavior with the chosen stack. Unrelated work is preserved, and a recovery checkpoint can be made when the change calls for one.

It runs the checks affected by the change and exercises the relevant user journey when runtime access allows it. Failures caused by the work are fixed separately from pre-existing failures, while still-valid results can be reused. A setup validator or green build does not prove that interactive behavior works.

The skill can update project progress where the repository tracks it and reports completed checks, unverified behavior, blockers, and recovery notes. External sends, production changes, store submissions, and deployments need authorization for their specific target and effect.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add KhazP/vibe-coding-prompt-template --skill vibe-build -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/vibe-build/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/vibe-build/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add KhazP/vibe-coding-prompt-template --skill vibe-build -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/vibe-build/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add KhazP/vibe-coding-prompt-template --skill vibe-build -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/vibe-build/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install KhazP/vibe-coding-prompt-template vibe-build
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/vibe-build/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add KhazP/vibe-coding-prompt-template --skill vibe-build -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/KhazP/vibe-coding-prompt-template --path workflow/skills/vibe-build
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/vibe-build/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add KhazP/vibe-coding-prompt-template --skill vibe-build -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/KhazP/vibe-coding-prompt-template/tree/HEAD/workflow/skills/vibe-build/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- turn a project brief into acceptance criteria
- implement a new slice in the chosen stack
- exercise the user journey after a code change
- separate regressions from pre-existing failures
- report checks, blockers, and unverified behavior

## Example prompts
- Implement the new project slice from this brief, test the relevant user journey, and report any blocker.
- Read the repository guidance, make the required change, and run the checks affected by it.
- Exercise this feature at runtime, fix failures caused by the change, and preserve unrelated work.

# Build a new-project slice

Establish the requested outcome and acceptance criteria from the user's brief
and relevant project decisions. Read applicable repository instructions and
only the documents needed for this slice. An absent or stale MEMORY.md does
not require rebuilding the whole planning workflow.

Implement the intended behavior using the chosen stack. Preserve unrelated
work and make a recovery checkpoint when the change warrants it. Add accounts,
databases, infrastructure, paid services, and AI only when requirements justify
them. Continue until the requested slice works, not merely until files exist.

Use the project's affected checks and exercise the relevant user journey when
runtime access permits it. Fix failures caused by the change, distinguish
pre-existing failures, and reuse results that remain valid. A setup validator
or passing build alone is not evidence of interactive behavior.

Update project progress when the repository maintains it. Report the outcome,
actual checks, unverified behavior, and any concrete blocker or recovery note.
External sends, production changes, store submission, and deployment remain
subject to authorization for their specific effect and target.
