Vibe Coder

From your first prompt to a shipped capstone. The full path through Claude Code, Codex on mobile, and Antigravity orchestration.

Vibe coding is the practice of building software at the level of intent. This path takes you from terminal setup through multi-agent orchestration — the same arc as our three interactive courses, framed as one role.

S01

Foundations

Set up your machine, understand what an agentic CLI is, run your first loop.

  1. 01

    What Vibe Coding Means

    core

    You describe outcomes; the agent edits files, runs tests, and commits. You stay on the what; the agent handles the how.

  2. 02

    Terminal Fluency

    core

    Be comfortable in a shell — cd, ls, git, env vars, pipes. Everything happens here.

  3. 03

    Install the Agent CLI

    core

    Get Claude Code (and later Codex / Antigravity) installed and authenticated.

  4. 04

    Your First Conversation

    core

    Open a repo, ask for a small change, watch the loop run end-to-end.

S02

The Agentic Loop

Master the read-edit-test-commit cycle with Claude Code. This is the muscle memory of vibe coding.

  1. 01

    The Loop Itself

    core

    Prompt → read → edit → verify → commit. Internalize the rhythm.

  2. 02

    CLAUDE.md & Memory

    core

    Project-level instructions that travel with the repo. Make the agent fit your codebase.

  3. 03

    Searching & Editing

    core

    How the agent finds and changes code without breaking adjacent context.

  4. 04

    Tests & Commits

    core

    Verification is what separates vibe coding from vibe-praying. Run tests, commit often.

  5. 05

    Debugging with an Agent

    core

    Push back when the agent guesses. Ask for repros, logs, and minimal failing cases.

S03

Power Features

Customize the agent with slash commands, subagents, plan mode, hooks, and MCP servers.

  1. 01

    Slash Commands

    core

    Reusable shortcuts for the prompts you find yourself typing over and over.

  2. 02

    Subagents

    recommended

    Spawn focused workers for searches, reviews, and parallel exploration.

  3. 03

    Plan Mode

    recommended

    Plan-first execution for risky or multi-step changes.

  4. 04

    Hooks

    optional

    Automate side-effects on tool events — formatting, linting, notifications.

  5. 05

    MCP Servers

    recommended

    Extend the agent's tool surface to your own APIs and services.

S04

Shipping Real Projects

Capstones: real features, real PRs, real production releases.

  1. 01

    A Next.js Feature, End-to-End

    core

    Spec → implementation → tests → PR. The canonical web-app loop.

  2. 02

    Tests-First Mode

    recommended

    Write the failing test first; let the agent make it pass.

  3. 03

    Shipping to Production

    core

    Branch protection, CI gates, env management, and confidence to deploy.

  4. 04

    Claude Code Capstone

    core

    Build a real, deployable feature from a one-line ask.

S05

Mobile with Codex

Take the loop to React Native — Expo, navigation, native modules, App Store.

  1. 01

    Meet Codex

    core

    What Codex adds when you're targeting mobile and the agent needs a simulator.

  2. 02

    Expo Scaffold

    core

    Spin up a real app you can run on your phone in under 10 minutes.

  3. 03

    Auth, API, Realtime

    recommended

    Supabase auth, REST data, and realtime channels — the modern mobile stack.

  4. 04

    App Store Submission

    recommended

    Build, TestFlight, IAP, and getting through review without surprises.

S06

Multi-Agent Orchestration

Antigravity: rosters, plan/build/review/deploy pipelines, human-in-the-loop.

  1. 01

    What Antigravity Is

    core

    A multi-agent orchestrator where agents play distinct roles.

  2. 02

    Roster Design

    core

    Pick the smallest set of agents that covers your loop. Don't over-staff.

  3. 03

    Orchestration Patterns

    recommended

    Sequential pipelines, fan-out/fan-in, voting, retries, human-in-the-loop.

  4. 04

    Antigravity Capstone

    core

    A working multi-agent project on a real repo, with budget and observability.

S07

Going Pro

Habits, communities, and the meta-skill of staying current as the tools shift.

  1. 01

    Build Your Prompt Library

    recommended

    Capture the prompts that work. Treat them like a personal codebase.

  2. 02

    Context as a Budget

    recommended

    Long sessions decay. Compact, restart, and front-load only what matters.

  3. 03

    Stay in the Loop

    optional

    Follow the model release notes; the floor moves every few months.
