What is vibe coding in the context of this Claude Code skill?

Vibe coding is a development approach where you prioritize speed and visual results over code quality, using AI to generate disposable prototypes to explore ideas without the overhead of maintenance.

When should I switch from Vibe Mode to Craft Mode?

Switch to Craft Mode once a concept is validated, you're ready to commit to the architecture, others need to maintain the code, or the component involves sensitive production data.

Does this skill require specific frontend frameworks?

While it is optimized for React and Tailwind CSS for maximum speed, the rapid prototyping principles and storyboard patterns can be adapted to any UI framework.

How does the '10-Minute Prototype' protocol work?

It is a timed workflow consisting of four phases: Describe (2m), Generate (3m), Run (2m), and Evaluate (3m) to quickly move from an idea to a tangible, testable interface.

Design Tools

Explores UI/UX concepts and validates design hypotheses through fast, disposable prototyping and iterative visual experimentation.

About

This skill implements the 'vibe coding' philosophy to accelerate UI development by prioritizing speed and exploration over initial code quality. It provides structured patterns for 10-minute prototypes, storyboard generation, and design variant exploration, helping developers validate user flows and visual concepts before committing to production-grade implementation. By treating code as a low-cost, disposable resource, it allows for high-frequency iteration and 'variant explosions' to find the perfect interface design through rapid AI-assisted feedback loops.

Key Features

5 GitHub stars
Design variant explosion for exploring multiple visual directions simultaneously
Vibe vs. Craft mode framework for knowing when to optimize for speed vs. quality
High-speed prompt patterns for single-file React and Tailwind CSS components
Storyboard generation to visualize complete multi-screen user flows
10-minute rapid prototype protocol for instant concept validation

Use Cases

Validating UI concepts with stakeholders using functional demos before starting backend development
Creating ephemeral mockups to test user flow hypotheses and interaction logic during discovery
Rapidly exploring design variants like minimal vs. playful styles to establish a brand direction
