Vibe Coding Prompt Library

Prompt templates are essential because they provide a structured way to communicate your coding needs clearly and efficiently to AI tools. Instead of vague or inconsistent instructions, these templates guide you to specify exactly what you want, reducing ambiguity and improving the quality of the generated code. This saves time and frustration, especially when working with complex coding tasks or unfamiliar technologies.

This library is designed to be your go-to resource for vibe coding across a variety of tasks. Simply copy the prompt template, fill in the [BRACKETS] with your specific details, and paste it into your AI coding tool of choice. These prompts have been tested and work seamlessly with Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, and any other AI coding assistant you prefer.

Starting a New Project

Initial Project Setup

Set up a new [PROJECT_TYPE] project using [TECH_STACK]. Include basic configuration files, folder structure, and initial dependencies.

Use this prompt to quickly bootstrap a new project with your preferred technology stack. It ensures you get a clean, organized starting point with all essentials configured.

Tech Stack Selection

Recommend the best tech stack for a [PROJECT_DESCRIPTION] that requires [KEY_FEATURES] and must be [SCALABLE/FAST/SECURE]. Explain your choices.

This prompt helps you decide on the most suitable technologies based on your project’s goals and constraints, saving you from analysis paralysis.

Project Structure

Design a scalable project folder structure for a [PROJECT_TYPE] using [LANGUAGE/FRAMEWORK]. Explain the purpose of each folder.

Use this when you want a clear, maintainable organization for your codebase that supports growth and team collaboration.

First Feature Implementation

Write code to implement the first feature: [FEATURE_DESCRIPTION] in a [PROJECT_TYPE] project using [TECH_STACK]. Include comments and tests.

This prompt gets you a solid initial feature implementation with documentation and testing, setting a high-quality standard from the start.

MVP Scope Definition

Define the minimum viable product (MVP) scope for a [PROJECT_TYPE] that solves [PROBLEM_STATEMENT]. List core features and exclude non-essential ones.

Clarify what must be built first to validate your idea quickly without overengineering or feature bloat.

Backend & Database

REST API Endpoint

Write a REST API endpoint in [BACKEND_FRAMEWORK] for [RESOURCE] that supports [HTTP_METHODS]. Include input validation and error handling.

Use this to quickly build robust API endpoints that follow best practices and handle edge cases gracefully.

Database Schema

Design a database schema for [APPLICATION_TYPE] with entities: [ENTITY_LIST] and relationships. Use [DATABASE_TYPE] syntax.
