Vibe 101 Prompt System

What this is

The prompt system is the learner's cheat sheet for working with AI during Vibe 101.

These prompts are starting points. Learners should modify them based on their project.

For more situations, use Prompt Lab.

Why it matters

AI output depends on instruction quality.

Clear prompts create better results. Vague prompts create broad, confusing answers.

What to do

Planning

Use this in ChatGPT or Perplexity before opening the IDE.

Your job:

4. Suggest build order

Then ask me questions to refine the idea.

Common mistakes

  • Copying prompts without adapting them.
  • Asking AI to do too much at once.
  • Not giving current state.
  • Not pasting the real error.
  • Continuing without asking what changed.
  • Forgetting to use Prompt Lab when the situation is more specific than this page.
