Vibe Coding Architecture & Stack Selection

A plain-language framework that lets non-engineers interrogate any AI-proposed architecture with 6 questions and pick a stack via a 5-step decision process.

Dev & CodingBeginner★ 167⑂ 1AI score 9/10Last updated: Jun 30, 2026

What it does

  • Teaches you to grill any AI architecture proposal along 6 plain-language dimensions: where data lives, whose machine it runs on, monolith vs split services, how many external dependencies, sync vs queued, and how many users it can take.
  • Runs a 5-step stack decision method: list 3–5 options → expose hidden costs → filter by your real constraints → score AI-collaboration fit (generation quality, readability, debuggability, community docs) → final verdict via "can I still fix this in a year?".
  • Asks the AI to produce a project directory tree with one-line responsibilities per folder.
  • Enforces an exit gate: the chosen stack and the rejected options with reasons must be written into the project docs.

Who it's for

  • Founders, PMs, and solo builders shipping products with AI but without a deep engineering background.
  • Anyone who defaults to "whatever the AI said" because they can't tell a good plan from a bad one.
  • Builders upgrading a demo into something more serious.

Examples

  1. "I want to build a personal expense-tracking web app — what stack?" → get 3–5 candidates, filter by server specs and your own skill level, lock one in with rejection notes.
  2. The AI proposes microservices plus a message queue → use the "monolith vs split" and "dependency count" dimensions to push it back to a single process.
  3. "Sketch the project folder structure" → receive a directory tree with one-line duties and check there's no junk-drawer folder.

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the skills/vibe-coding-architecture folder from the GitHub repo Junliu1066/vibe-coding-kit into my ~/.claude/skills/vibe-coding-architecture/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/Junliu1066/vibe-coding-kit.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r vibe-coding-kit/skills/vibe-coding-architecture ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open your terminal.
  2. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/Junliu1066/vibe-coding-kit.git
  3. Create the skills folder if needed: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Copy the skill: cp -r vibe-coding-kit/skills/vibe-coding-architecture ~/.claude/skills/
  5. (Recommended) This skill is part of a suite — also copy vibe-coding-requirements, vibe-coding-production, vibe-coding-survival, and the references/ folder so the referenced files resolve.
  6. Restart Claude Code and ask something like "which tech stack should I use for this project?" to trigger the skill.
