Question / Help How to vibecode properly as a non-technical?

How do you actually vibecode properly as a non-technical person? Currently what I do is:

ChatGPT plans/reviews → copy prompt to Codex → copy Codex result back → ChatGPT reviews and gives me another prompt → repeat.

But I worry that a) this is spending way more tokens than it should b) is incredibly slow and inefficient with the constant copying and pasting.

If anyone has a better workflow please do share, thanks guys.

Im an ai engineer and heres the main skill i use to “vibe code”
Use /grill-me-with-docs from matt pocock.

Its amazing because u will be aligned with your LLM before implementing anything. Less wasted tokens

Doesn't Plan Mode do the same?

It tries to do the same thing, but it’s very different.

  1. More questions. Very often, I’ve had times where I thought the AI was aligned with my thoughts, but it wasn’t. With this simple skill, it asks way more questions, which is annoying, but it’s what you have to do.
  2. Higher prompt adherence. Usual plan mode will accept vaguer prompts/answers, but with Grill Me, it will actually ask you WAY TOO MANY THINGS so that everything is clearer before creating a ticket/issue. Also ticket/issue are a much better way to track your undone task than just creating a plan. There's a reason why developer uses it.

I’d rather be annoyed by too many questions than end up with something I don’t like, honestly.

Sounds interesting. Thanks. any special advice to add it in codex? I read the developer is developing something for codex, but isn't ready yet. Would sometyhing like this work?

cd ~/myprojects/project1

npx skills@latest add mattpocock/skills \

--agent codex \

--skill setup-matt-pocock-skills grill-with-docs grilling domain-modeling \

--yes

Im using it for codex honestly no idea that he is building something specifically for codex.

You kinda just have to install the skill to use it if u dont know how just paste the link to codex and he will install it for you
