vibe-ship_skill

Overview

This skill ships a complete, deployed web app from a single idea in one session. It validates the concept, picks a pragmatic stack, builds the core feature, and deploys a public URL to Vercel or GitHub Pages. The goal is a usable MVP, not endless polishing.

How this skill works

First it validates the idea with four quick checks: value sentence, technical feasibility, target users, and fatal flaws. Then it selects a sensible default stack (Next.js + Tailwind + TypeScript → Vercel) or a lighter option for static sites. It iteratively builds core functionality, polishes UI and error handling, runs tests, and deploys the project, returning a live public URL and a short report.

When to use it

• You say “build me an app”, “ship this idea”, “vibe code”, or describe any consumer app/website to be built and deployed.
• You need a working MVP or single-feature tool delivered quickly and publicly.
• You want a no-fluff approach: core value shipped first, extras later.
• You have limited or no backend needs (or can accept Supabase for database).
• You want deployment to Vercel or GitHub Pages without manual deployment steps.

Best practices

• Validate idea first with one-sentence value, feasibility, audience, and fatal-flaw checks before coding.
• Default to Next.js + Tailwind + TypeScript and Vercel unless the app is static or needs a DB/auth.
• Build the single core feature first; avoid feature creep or unnecessary services.
• Design intentionally: dark mode by default, mobile-first responsiveness, and clear loading/error states.
• Never hardcode secrets; use environment variables and ask users for API keys if needed.
• Deploy early. If it isn’t on a public URL, it isn’t shipped.

Example use cases

• Ship a product waitlist landing page with CTA and shareable URL in 30 minutes.
• Build a single-feature tool like a color palette generator or calculator and deploy within 1–2 hours.
• Deliver a multi-page dashboard or content tool as a 2–4 hour session with core workflows working.
• Create a static marketing site and publish to GitHub Pages quickly.
• Prototype a SaaS MVP with simple auth and Supabase-backed data and deploy to Vercel.
