Architecture
Open ChatGPT (4o, not o1/o3/o4) and say:
“ I’m building a [description of your product - the more detailed the better]. Use Next.js for frontend, Supabase for DB + auth.
Give me the full architecture:
- File + folder structure
- What each part does
- Where state lives, how services connect
Format this entire document in markdown.”
Save its output as architecture.md and throw it in an empty folder where your project will live.
Tasks
“ Using that architecture, write a granular step-by-step plan to build the MVP. Each task should:
- Be incredibly small + testable
- Have a clear start + end
- Focus on one concern
I’ll be passing this off to an engineering LLM that will be told to complete one task at a time, allowing me to test in between. ”
Save it as tasks.md. Again, throw it in the folder.
Engineering
Step 3: In Cursor/Windsurf
“ You’re an engineer building this codebase.
You’ve been given architecture.md and tasks.md.
- Read both carefully. There should be no ambiguity about what we’re building.
- Follow http://tasks.md and complete one task at a time.
- After each task, stop. I’ll test it. If it works, commit to GitHub and move to the next. ”
Include this as well - this is crucial:
CODING PROTOCOL
” Coding Instructions
- Write the absolute minimum code required
- No sweeping changes
- No unrelated edits - focus on just the task you’re on
- Make code precise, modular, testable
- Don’t break existing functionality
- If I need to do anything (e.g. Supabase/AWS config), tell me clearly ”
This system fixes the biggest problem with vibe coding:
You’re not dumping everything into the IDE and praying. You’re giving it a roadmap. You’re keeping it on rails. You stay in control.
This workflow lets you ship clean, testable AI-assisted code - without the spiral.
Normally I’d ask you to follow me for the playbook but this is literally it. Good luck
AirBnB-style icons with ChatGPT-4o in 60 seconds 👇
I used just ONE simple prompt to create 3D isometric illustrations that feel like Pixar vibes mixed with modern, minimal design.
Use this prompt:

Just swap [ Your Concept ] with what you want: • “coffee shop” • “bike rental” • “co-working space”
And just like that, high-end, Airbnb-style icons are ready in seconds. This might be the easiest design cheat code of 2025.
