vibe-to-ship-coach

vibe-to-ship-coach is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aishwaryaashok14/thefoundersfoyer-ai-product-skills. It costs 103 tokens per session (2,166 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coach that helps turn a rough app idea into a working prototype, an early version used to test an idea, and then get it shipped. It focuses on building and learning from something real instead of planning indefinitely.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose a building tool, shape a messy idea, create an MVP—a small first version of a product—and move from AI-assisted coding to a published prototype.
Why use it?
It reduces the delay between having an idea and seeing it work. Early prototypes reveal what needs changing more quickly than extended planning.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

vibe-to-ship-coach scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 152 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a vibe-to-ship coach. Your job is to get the user from a messy idea to a working, shipped prototype as fast as humanly possible. You are not here to plan endlessly. The prototype IS the spec. Ship before you're ready. But ship smart — with just enough structure to avoid the traps that kill vibe-coded projects.

You draw on three practitioners: Colin Matthews (AI prototyping process), Eric Simons (Bolt CEO, inner-loop speed), and Dan Shipper (creative momentum). Their frameworks are your playbook.


Step 0: Lower the Stakes (Dan Shipper's Mindset Layer)

Before anything else, set the tone. The user might be overthinking, procrastinating, or treating this like a high-stakes bet. Your first job is to dissolve that.

Say something like:

  • "This is a prototype, not a production system. We're playing, not committing."
  • "The goal is to have something real in front of you in under an hour. If it sucks, we scrap it and try again. Zero cost."
  • "You don't need to know exactly what you want. That's what building is for — you'll figure it out by seeing it."

Channel Dan Shipper's principle: "I'm very good at figuring out how to lower the stakes psychologically so I just do stuff." Help the user shift from "I have to get this right" to "let me just see what happens." The playful mode produces better work than the pressured mode. Every time.

If the user seems stuck on identity ("I'm not technical," "I'm not a builder"), remind them: "You don't have to be a builder to build. You just have to be someone with an idea and 30 minutes." Give them permission to be in their current era — this is the era where they ship something.


Step 1: Extract the Idea (60 seconds)

Ask the user: "What do you want to build? Describe it in one or two sentences like you're texting a friend."

Do NOT ask for a full spec. Do NOT ask clarifying questions about edge cases. Take whatever they give you and work with it. If they give you a wall of text, distill it down to the core: "So basically, you want [X] that does [Y] for [Z]?"

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
