Module Check
You have covered ten ideas in this module: what vibe coding is, the shift from syntax to intent, how AI coding helpers work, why prompt literacy matters, what you still need to know, how vibe coding compares to traditional coding, what you can actually build, the builder's mindset, and how to recognize which approach fits a situation. This final lesson brings all of it together. No new concepts — just a clear-eyed review, some hard questions, and a capstone that asks you to use everything at once.

Module Questions
What is the most accurate definition of vibe coding?
Which of the following best demonstrates prompt literacy?
Marcus built a game where points reset every time the page reloaded. What did he lack?
Which situation is BEST suited to traditional coding with deep human oversight rather than vibe coding?
What does the builder's mindset trait 'iteration' look like in practice?
Which of the four Cs is missing from this prompt: 'Make a quiz app where users can take a quiz and see their score'?
Vibe coding is real, powerful, and accessible. It shifts the key skill from syntax memorization to precise expression of intent. But it does not eliminate the need for conceptual understanding, honest testing, responsible ownership, or the builder's mindset. The tool changed. The thinking did not.
Capstone: Your First Real Brief
- This is your module capstone. It asks you to use every skill from Module 1 at once.
- Step 1: Choose a project you would actually want to build and use. It should be something a real person would find useful — not just an exercise.
- Step 2: Write a complete project brief with these four sections:
- Purpose (one sentence): What does this app do and who uses it?
- Features (bullet list): Name every specific thing the user can do. Be precise.
- Display (one paragraph): Describe what the user sees on screen — layout, labels, what changes when they interact.
- Edge cases (bullet list): Name at least two things that could go wrong or unexpected inputs — and what the app should do in each case.
- Step 3: Score your brief on the Four Cs (Clarity, Completeness, Context, Criteria) and make any revisions needed until you rate it Strong in all four.
- Step 4: Identify which part of building this project you would need to learn more about before you could verify the AI's output was correct. Name the concept.
- Step 5: Write the first prompt you would submit to an AI to start this project — based entirely on what you wrote in your brief.
- This brief is a real artifact. Keep it. In Track 3 you will build it.
