Ship real software at the
speed of conversation.
VC Academy teaches vibe coding — building software at the level of intent. You describe the outcome; AI agents handle the keystrokes. We teach the craft of directing them.
What is vibe coding?
It's the practice of building software by stating intent instead of writing every line. You stay in the driver's seat — planning, reviewing, deciding — while agents do the typing. These skills are learnable, and that's exactly what we teach.
Speak in outcomes
Write specs and prompts an agent can actually execute — clear constraints, guardrails, done-criteria.
Read the diff
Trust, but verify. Train your eye to read AI-written code, catch issues, and steer corrections fast.
Get it live
Every track ends with something real and deployed — not a toy. Tests, a URL, a thing you can show.
Three tracks, one journey
Start at the terminal, end orchestrating fleets of agents. Pick a lane or follow the roadmap.
Claude Code
Drive an AI agent straight from your terminal.
Codex
Build and ship apps with a task-driven coding agent.
AI Agents
Orchestrate fleets of agents that plan, build & verify.
14 lessons are live
Nothing to install. Open one and start directing an agent — the rest of the catalog is on the way.
Install Claude Code & run your first command
Set up the Claude Code CLI in a simulated terminal, then direct the agent in plain English — the whole platform thesis in lesson one.
Right-size the spec
A good spec is ~30–80 words. Find the sweet spot between vague and overwhelming.
Write the spec
A vague prompt gets vague software. Practice specifying well enough that any agent builds the right thing.
Catch the hallucination
Agents confidently call methods that don't exist. Read the code, catch the made-up call, and fix it.
Spot the vulnerability the AI wrote
Read agent-generated code, find the security flaw it slipped in, and submit your fix to the AI-graded review loop.
The weekend-hack bug
The code checks you're logged in — but not that the data is yours. Find the IDOR and fix it.
Find the leaked secret
Agents hardcode live keys. Find them, move them to env vars, and rotate.
Read the diff, not the vibe
Agents can make a failing test pass by changing the test. Catch the reward hack.
Catch the drift
Without a rules file the agent drifts across sessions. Spot it and fix it with CLAUDE.md.
Verify the package
AI invents package names; attackers slopsquat them. Verify before you install.
Feed the agent the error
Good debugging prompts give the exact error and context — not "it's broken".
Happy path isn't done
AI nails the happy path and crashes on the rest. Test the edges before shipping.
The review-before-merge loop
The durable workflow that transfers across every tool: spec, implement, review, verify, commit, ship.
Decompose the task
Big asks fail. Break the work into agent-sized steps in the right order.
