Why I wrote a PRD for Vibe Coding

Thinking is the product. A PRD made it real.

When you hear “PRD,” you probably think:
→ product features
→ engineering handoffs
→ dev timelines

But I’m working on something that doesn’t have screens, tickets, or a launch plan.
It’s called Vibe Coding — and I still wrote a PRD for it.

Why?

Because Vibe Coding is not content. It’s a thinking framework.
It helps people build better mental models using four types of thinking:

• Logical (clarity, intent, framing)

• Analytical (patterns, assumptions, breaking down)

• Computational (structure, sequence, flow)

• Procedural (depth, repetition, growth)

Here’s how the PRD helped me bring that to life:

• Logical Thinking → Project Overview
  What is Vibe Coding? Why build it? Who is it for?

• Analytical Thinking → Prerequisites
  What skills or mindset should someone have before starting?

• Computational Thinking → Key Features & MVP
  What must be included for this to work? What’s the minimum?

• Procedural Thinking → Session Design
  How does each session go deeper? How do concepts build?

This PRD isn’t for a dev team. It’s for me — to think clearly.
Because even if you’re not writing code, you still need to design thinking.

If your idea feels fuzzy, don’t jump into execution.
Write a PRD first. Even for something like Vibe Coding.
