Workflow: vibecoding cycle and 7-day plan

Workflow: cycle and weekly plan

A big mistake for a newbie is to act chaotically. Needed simple rhythm.

and Codex, and Claude Code encourages planning and checkpoints, so as not to be afraid to “try risky” and roll back.

Formulate 1 goal and 1 main scenario. Example: “The user leaves a request → I see a list of requests → a notification arrives.”
Make a short “project contract” of 10–15 lines. What we do, for whom we do NOT, readiness criteria.
Work in small steps. One step = one verifiable change. Reduces the risk of “AI rewrote everything.”
First plan, then action. If the tool supports planning mode, use it. For Replit this is Plan Mode.
Make “saves”. Modern agent tools rely on guardrails: Claude Code has checkpoints and permissions.
Test in a live environment before production. Preview-deploy - your filter. Preview for branches/PR, production for main.

Day	Goal of the day	Tasks	Artifact
1	Understand what we are building	8–12 questions (interview), 1-page technical specification, “done” criteria	SPEC.md + user stories
2	Select stack	Generator (Lovable/Replit/IDE+agent), backend (Supabase/Firebase), deployment (Vercel/built-in)	STACK.md + solution “why”
3	Assemble the frame	UI skeleton, routes/pages, “empty” forms	Worker prototype in dev
4	Add data	Tables/collections, CRUD, minimum authorization	Minimum working logic
5	Integrations	1–2 external APIs, 1 webhook or workflow in n8n (if needed)	Integration works end‑to‑end
6	Tests and quality	3–5 tests, error handling, README	README.md + basic tests
7	Deployment and security	Env vars by environment, secrets, OWASP-minimum checklist, deployment to preview → prod	URL production + checklist “passed”
