🎨 Vibe Coding — Prompting Patterns That Work

Give context first

"I'm building a website for my café. I use HTML and CSS only, no frameworks. Help me add a booking form."

Be specific about output

"Write a Python script that reads a CSV and outputs a summary. Show me the full file, not just the changes."

Iterate, don't restart

"That's almost right. Change the button colour to match the header and remove the drop shadow."

Ask it to explain

"Explain what this code does line by line, in plain English, as if I've never programmed before."

Set the persona

"You are a senior developer reviewing my code. Point out security issues and performance problems. Be direct."

🔌 Advanced — MCP, Hooks & RAG (Explained Simply)

MCP (Model Context Protocol) — lets AI use real tools: browse the web, read your files, call APIs. Like giving AI hands.
Hooks — run code automatically when AI does something. E.g. "every time you edit a file, run the tests."
Loops / cron — AI that runs on a schedule. E.g. "check my emails every 30 minutes and summarise them."
RAG — give AI a knowledge base of your own documents, so it can answer questions from them accurately.
GraphRAG — RAG that understands relationships between ideas, not just keyword matches. Smarter retrieval.
