The Problem We're Solving

Setting up a production-ready Vue.js project takes days. You need to configure TypeScript, set up build tools, choose the right state management, configure linting, add UI components, set up testing—and then teach your AI coding assistant how to work with your specific stack and patterns.

By the time you're done with setup, you've lost momentum on your actual idea.

The pattern is predictable:

Day 1-2: Research and configure build tools, TypeScript, linting Day 3-4: Set up state management, routing, UI components Day 5-6: Configure development workflow, AI coding instructions Day 7+: Finally start building your actual application

Most developers either skip best practices to move fast, or spend weeks on setup instead of building.

Our Solution: Production-Ready Starter + AI Instructions

Vibe Code Kit eliminates the setup phase entirely. You get a battle-tested Vue.js stack that's been refined through dozens of production applications, plus AI development instructions that teach Claude Code how to work effectively with your specific setup.

Technology Stack:

- Vue 3 with Composition API and TypeScript support - Vite for lightning-fast development and optimized builds - Pinia for global state management + Pinia Colada for data fetching - Tailwind CSS + DaisyUI for rapid UI development - VueUse composables library for common patterns - ESLint, Prettier, Husky for code quality

Each technology includes AI coding best practices that prevent Claude Code from reinventing patterns.

How It Works

- Blueprint-Driven Development: Enhanced R&D workflow commands guide Claude Code through proper project analysis and feature planning - Specialized AI Agents: Built-in agents for standards checking, code validation, and codebase research - Stack-Specific Instructions: AI learns the proper patterns for each library in your stack - Production Configuration: Everything pre-configured for deployment from day one - The result: Turn your ideas into production Vue.js apps in minutes, not days.

Real Impact Since using this approach:

- New Vue.js projects start with feature development, not configuration - Claude Code consistently follows Vue 3 Composition API best practices - AI agents catch architectural issues before they become problems - Production deployments work from day one

Technical Details

Built on Vue 3 ecosystem best practices. Includes comprehensive Claude Code integration with specialized agents for Vue.js development. Works with existing AI-assisted development workflows and supports rapid prototyping to production scaling.

Currently supporting Vue.js projects with plans for React and other frameworks.

This isn't about replacing Vue CLI or Vite—it's about getting a production-ready foundation with AI that actually understands your stack. Would love feedback from Vue.js developers who've struggled with project setup overhead.

Questions I'm curious about:

- How much time do you spend on initial Vue.js project configuration? - What's been your experience with AI coding assistants on Vue projects? - What would convince you to use a pre-configured starter over building from scratch?
