Quick start

git clone https://github.com/WebDevPeterGriffin/The-VibeCode-Bible.git
cd The-VibeCode-Bible
npm run setup
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000. The app only listens on your own machine.

npm run setup installs the packages and downloads the two small models Local Chat uses (about 3.5 GB). It needs Ollama installed and tells you if it's missing. You can also skip it and press the download button in Local Chat. If you only want to read, run npm install instead. The lessons, Security Scan and read aloud don't need a model.

Who it's for

Developers who can already build a working demo with AI agents, and who want real users or are nervous about what happens when they arrive. It isn't a beginner course.

What's inside

Every lesson ends with something to run on your own project. Stories either happened to me or link to a public write-up.

Part	What it covers
Start Here	The one idea: prove each safety net by triggering it
Make It Hold Up	Proving code works, tests, access control, payments, database changes and backups, undoing mistakes, deploys
Real Users Arrive	Changing a live app, actions that run twice, monitoring, bots and abuse, surprise bills
Get Real Users	Finding your first users, and showing what you built
Working With the Agent	Planning, context, debugging, made-up APIs, when to write it yourself, not looking AI-made
Running Agents	Several agents at once, how agents work, prompt injection
Local AI	The honest limits, setup, skill files or a LoRA
Tool Notes	Dated notes on tools and models, kept apart from the lessons because they age quickly
LoRA Deep Dive	An optional track on training your own

Tools built in

• Local Chat answers from these lessons using a model on your machine, tells you which lesson it used, and says so when the lessons don't cover something.
• Security Scan checks a folder on your computer for leaked secrets and committed .env files. It works on private projects, needs no model, and masks everything it finds.
• The Playbook Test scores a startup idea against Sam Altman's startup playbook, using your local model by default.
• Read aloud on every lesson, using your browser's built-in speech.
• About 1,350 agent skill files and 10 workflows in .agent/, mostly Awesome CursorRules, from the open-source projects below. These are other people's work, so read a skill before you trust it.
