3. The 5-step loop (do not skip)

  1. Problem — who, pain, success metric
  2. Plan — one-page PRD, max three v1 features, three screens
  3. Build — feed SPEC.md to Cursor; one change per prompt
  4. Test — mobile checklist + screenshots
  5. Share — Vercel URL + three reviewers

Formal week-by-week: full syllabus.

4. Ten starter prompts (short list)

Planning, PRD, SPEC, implement, screenshot debug, form, Supabase, Vercel deploy, README — the full pack is in free resources.

5. Why vibe coding projects fail

  • Ten tasks in one prompt
  • No Git → no safe revert
  • Skipping Plan → endless rebuilds
  • No mobile test before sharing
  • Leaking secrets into chat

6. Vercel deploy (concept)

Connect GitHub → import → env vars → deploy. Week 6 of the course is click-by-click; capstone target: a public *.vercel.app URL.

7. Realistic costs (2026)

Claude Pro, optional Cursor Pro, free tiers for Vercel/Supabase, optional custom domain.

8. When a cohort beats DIY

You want a capstone deadline, prompt clinic, and Vietnamese/English materials with mentor timezone fit → Claude Vibecode 2026.
