How to Use Claude Skills with
Vibe Workflow

Claude Skills are reusable instruction sets that extend Claude Code's capabilities. Here's how to use Vibe Workflow's skills to build MVPs faster.

1What Are Claude Skills?

Claude Skills are reusable instruction files that teach Claude Code how to perform specific tasks. Each skill is a SKILL.md file containing:

  • Trigger conditions — When the skill should activate
  • Instructions — Step-by-step guidance for the task
  • Output templates — Consistent file structures and formats

Skills work like saved procedures — instead of re-explaining your workflow in every session, Claude already knows the process and runs it consistently.

2Installing Vibe Workflow Skills

There are three ways to get the skills into your project:

Option A: Download from Vibe Workflow (Recommended)

  1. 1. Go to vibeworkflow.app/skills
  2. 2. Click "Download All Skills" to get the ZIP
  3. 3. Extract to your project's .claude/skills/ folder

Option B: Clone from the Export Page

  1. 1. Generate your documents on Vibe Workflow
  2. 2. On the Export page, download the complete project ZIP
  3. 3. Skills are included in the .claude/skills/ folder

Option C: Install with npx CLI (Fastest)

Use Vercel's skills CLI to install individual skills directly:

npx skills add https://github.com/khazp/vibe-coding-prompt-template --skill vibe-workflow

Replace vibe-workflow with any skill name: vibe-research, vibe-prd, vibe-techdesign, vibe-agents, or vibe-build.

Browse all skills at skills.sh/khazp/vibe-coding-prompt-template

Your project structure should look like:

your-project/
├── .claude/
│   └── skills/
│       ├── vibe-workflow/SKILL.md
│       ├── vibe-research/SKILL.md
│       ├── vibe-prd/SKILL.md
│       ├── vibe-techdesign/SKILL.md
│       ├── vibe-agents/SKILL.md
│       └── vibe-build/SKILL.md
└── docs/

/vibe-buildVibe Build

Execute the build following your plan

npx skills add https://github.com/khazp/vibe-coding-prompt-template --skill vibe-build

4Running the Complete Workflow

Once skills are installed, run the workflow in Claude Code:

1

Start with the orchestrator

/vibe-workflow

→ Claude assesses your project and guides you to the next step

2

Research your idea

/vibe-research

→ Generates docs/research-[AppName].txt with market analysis

3

Create your PRD

/vibe-prd

→ Generates docs/PRD-[AppName]-MVP.md with requirements

4

Plan technical architecture

/vibe-techdesign

→ Generates docs/TechDesign-[AppName]-MVP.md

5

Generate AI configs

/vibe-agents

→ Creates AGENTS.md and agent_docs/ folder

6

Build your MVP

/vibe-build

→ Follows AGENTS.md to build feature by feature

Pro tip: You can jump to any step. If you already have a PRD, just run /vibe-techdesign directly.

5Troubleshooting

Claude doesn't recognize the slash commands

Make sure SKILL.md files are in .claude/skills/[skill-name]/ folders. Restart Claude Code after adding skills.

Skills aren't finding my existing docs

Skills look in docs/ folder. Ensure your files match the naming pattern (e.g., PRD-[AppName]-MVP.md).

The workflow feels stuck

Run /vibe-workflow to get a status check and see which step comes next.

Get the Skills + Documentation

Generate your research, PRD, and tech design on Vibe Workflow, then download everything with skills included.
