# vibe-workflow

This skill picks a workflow for a new app, an existing project change, or a bug. Use it when the next step depends on the project's current state.

## What it does

The skill routes work according to the request and project state. For a new product, it selects an appropriate amount of research and planning; for an existing one, it works within the current architecture. For a bug, it directs the agent to reproduce the failure, diagnose it, fix it, and verify the result. Requests for instructions or handoff materials stay within that scope, without starting an unrequested implementation or deployment.

It reuses answered questions and handoff context, asks about consequential decisions that remain open, and states other assumptions. It also guides where to keep stable constraints, product decisions, and current progress. The five stages are a route, not a required document set for every edit.

The skill can use `vibe-agents` for project instructions and `vibe-build` for a new implementation, but only when those skills exist in the target environment. That availability matters: named skills are not guaranteed to be installed. Reports should separate completed checks from those not performed and identify concrete blockers.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

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

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

### Codex

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

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

### Cursor

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

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/vibe-workflow/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-workflow
```

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

### Gemini CLI

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

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

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add KhazP/vibe-coding-prompt-template --skill vibe-workflow -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-workflow/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- choose a planning path for a new app
- change an existing project within its architecture
- reproduce and fix a bug
- prepare project instructions or handoff materials
- separate completed checks from unperformed ones

## Example prompts
- Review this new app request and choose how much planning to do before implementation.
- Fix the bug in the existing app, verify the result, and report which checks you ran.
- Prepare handoff instructions for the project without starting implementation.

# App workflow router

Use the request and existing project state to choose the next useful action.
Load only the context needed to identify the outcome, constraints, and current
implementation. An existing file does not prove that a stage is complete.

- **New product:** use research, PRD, and technical design skills selectively.
  Quick mode needs a clear outcome, constraints, and acceptance journey; deeper
  planning is useful for unresolved integrations or consequential decisions.
- **Existing product:** implement the requested change in the current architecture.
  Use a change skill if available; missing planning documents do not require
  restarting discovery.
- **Broken behavior:** reproduce, diagnose, fix, and verify the failure. Use a
  debugging skill if available, without redoing the new-product interview.
- **Instructions or handoff only:** produce the requested artifacts and report
  their limits; do not begin an unrequested implementation or deployment.

Use `vibe-agents` when creating project instructions, `vibe-build` for a new
implementation, and an available verification skill for a relevant user journey.
Only invoke skills actually present in the target environment. The five stages
are a useful route, not five approval gates or a mandatory document set for
every edit.

Reuse answered questions and Handoff Context. Ask for missing consequential
decisions; otherwise proceed with clearly stated assumptions. Keep stable
constraints in AGENTS.md, decisions in product documents, and current progress
in MEMORY.md where the project uses it. One builder is sufficient unless
independent work and available tools justify delegation.

Complete the scope the user requested, including relevant checks and fixes.
When reporting, distinguish actual results from unperformed checks and name
any concrete blocker. Do not stop at the first implementation if a working
product was requested; do not publish merely because local work is complete.
