For AI agents

The BEFOREVIBE skill for your agent

A small instruction file that turns Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any skill-aware AI agent into a tough product lead: it grills your app idea in two waves of hard questions before any code — then hands off to BEFOREVIBE for the storyboard, PRD, logo and screens.

What the skill does

A skill is a plain markdown file your agent reads as instructions. This one triggers whenever you share a new app idea: your agent asks the questions most ideas avoid — who pays, what breaks without accounts, what you cut — each with a recommended answer you edit, accept or skip. Your answers become decisions that every deliverable honors. The grill itself runs entirely in your agent: free, no account needed.

How to install

  1. 01

    Open your skills folder

    The skill is one markdown file. Claude Code reads skills from ~/.claude/skills; other agents have a rules or instructions folder.

  2. 02

    Download the file

    curl --create-dirs -o ~/.claude/skills/beforevibe/SKILL.md https://beforevibe.com/skill

  3. 03

    Or fork it on GitHub

    github.com/BEFOREVIBE/beforevibe-skill — MIT license, adapt it freely.

  4. 04

    Share an idea

    Describe any app idea — the grill starts on its own. For the storyboard, PRD, logo and screens, your agent hands off to the BEFOREVIBE MCP connector.

FAQ

Which agents can use the skill?

Claude Code and the Claude apps load skills natively. Any other agent that reads markdown instruction files — Codex, Cursor, Windsurf and others — can use the same file as a rule or system instruction.

Is this the same as the MCP connector?

They complete each other. The skill is the method: the grill, running in your agent. The connector is the factory: storyboard, PRD, logo and screen previews. The skill works without the connector — your agent then writes the decisions block itself.

Do I need a BEFOREVIBE account?

Not for the grill. An account is only needed when your agent hands off to the connector for the PRD and images.

Can I modify the skill?

Yes. It is a plain markdown file under the MIT license — fork it on GitHub (BEFOREVIBE/beforevibe-skill) and adapt the questions to your team.
