1. Look for

   docs/PRD-*.md

   in the project - this is REQUIRED
2. Optionally check for

   docs/research-*.txt

   for additional context
3. If no PRD exists, suggest running

   /vibe-prd

   first

• Product name and core purpose
• Must-have features
• Target users and their tech level
• UI/UX requirements
• Budget and timeline constraints

What's your technical background?

• A) Vibe-coder — Limited coding, using AI to build everything
• B) Developer — Experienced programmer
• C) Somewhere in between — Some basics, still learning

1. "Based on your PRD, where should people use it? Web, Mobile app, Desktop, or Not sure?"
2. "What's your coding situation? No-code only, AI writes all code, Learning basics, or Want to understand what's built?"
3. "Budget for tools? Free only, up to $50/month, up to $200/month, or Flexible?"
4. "How quickly to launch? ASAP (1-2 weeks), 1 month, 2-3 months, or No rush?"
5. "What worries you most? Getting stuck, costs, security, wrong choices, or breaking things?"
6. "Have you tried any tools yet? Name any and what you liked/disliked"
7. "For your main feature, what's most important? Simple to build, works perfectly, looks amazing, or scales well?"
8. "Do you want AI-powered features (chat, summarization)? If yes, list them and privacy constraints"

1. "Platform strategy and why?"
2. "Preferred tech stack? Frontend, Backend, Database, Infrastructure, AI Integration"
3. "Architecture pattern? Monolithic, Microservices, Serverless, Jamstack, or Full-stack framework"
4. "Service choices? Auth, File storage, Payments, Email, Analytics"
5. "AI coding tool preference? Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor, VS Code + Copilot, Antigravity, or Mix?"
6. "Development workflow? Git strategy, CI/CD, Testing priority, Environments"
7. "Performance/scaling? Expected load, data volume, geographic distribution, real-time needs"
8. "Security/compliance? Data sensitivity, compliance needs, auth method, API security"
9. "AI/LLM features? Use cases, latency/cost constraints, data sensitivity"

1. "Where should your app run? Web (easiest), Mobile, Both, or Help me decide?"
2. "Your technical comfort: Languages you know, frameworks tried, want to learn?"
3. "Building approach? No-code (fastest), Low-code with AI, Learn by doing, or Hire out?"
4. "Feature complexity? Simple CRUD, real-time, file uploads, integrations, complex logic?"
5. "Budget: Development tools, hosting, services - can you spend $X total?"
6. "AI assistance preference? AI does everything, AI explains, AI helps when stuck, or Mix?"
7. "Timeline reality: Hours/week available, launch date, beta test size?"
8. "AI-powered features? List them and privacy constraints if yes"

Let me confirm your technical requirements:

Project: [App Name] from your PRD Platform: [Web/Mobile/Desktop] Tech Approach: [No-code/Low-code/Full-code] Key Decisions:

• Frontend: [Choice]
• Backend: [Choice]
• Database: [Choice] Budget: [$/month] Timeline: [Weeks/Months] Main Concern: [Their biggest worry]

Is this correct? Any adjustments before I create the Technical Design?

1. Recommended Approach - Best option with justification
2. Alternative Options - Comparison table with pros/cons
3. Project Setup - Step-by-step checklist
4. Feature Implementation - How to build each PRD feature
5. Design Implementation - Templates, design system, responsiveness
6. Database & Storage - Schema, setup, hosting
7. AI Assistance Strategy - Which tool for what task
8. Deployment Plan - Platform, steps, backup options
9. Cost Breakdown - Development and production phases
10. Scaling Path - What to do at 100, 1000, 10000 users
11. Limitations - What this approach can't do

Sanity Check:

• Does the tech stack match your budget?
• Is the timeline realistic for the complexity?
• Are there security concerns addressed?
