The Vibe Coding Kit for Leaders
The twelve skills that let an executive build real software with AI — plus the instruction pack that turns any assistant into your technical mentor.
What's in the kit
- The Leader's Field Guide — 12 skills (PDF)
- Builder Mode instruction pack (installs in Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Perplexity)
- Platform install guide (PDF)
- The first-projects ladder — 5 weekends (PDF)
- The debug playbook (PDF)
Why this kit, why now
Natural-language coding crossed the line where a motivated non-developer ships real software. The gap nobody’s closing: the skills layer between “the AI wrote it” and “you’d bet your reputation on it.” That gap is where this kit lives.
What you’ll do with it
- Install Builder Mode — the instruction pack that makes any assistant treat you like a builder: plans before code, plain English, security warnings, patient debugging. Works in Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, and Perplexity (guide shows where).
- Climb the ladder — five weekend projects from a one-page site to a tool someone else uses. The sequence is the curriculum.
- Debug like a teacher — the five questions, the bisect method, and the three phrases that get better fixes from any assistant.
- Know when to hire — the line where you hand your prototype to a professional, and become their favorite client.
The honest fine print
This kit teaches skills and judgment — it can’t make you a security engineer, and shouldn’t. Anything touching money, regulated data, or production systems needs professional review. Expect to feel slow for two weeks and dangerous by week four. That’s the normal curve.
Who it's for
Executives and leaders who want to build with AI, not just talk about it — no developer background required.
