AI can now scaffold entire apps from a single sentence. You’ve seen the demos:
“Build me a dashboard.”

You said “include payments” — but skipped checkout sessions, webhook events, and secure tokens.
The result isn’t a coding failure. It’s a language failure.
Modern software is made of precise, layered concepts — the kind developers internalize after years of practice. But if you’re a non-technical builder stepping into Vibe Coding for the first time, no one has handed you that vocabulary. Without it, your prompts will always sound fuzzy, and the AI will always return half-built results.
In this new world where language is the interface, vocabulary is the missing API.
That’s why the Vibe Coding Starter Kit exists: a structured library of 1,450+ web vocab terms, explained in plain language and grouped into 14 categories. It’s not just a glossary — it’s a builder’s playbook that lets you:
