Most vibe-coded apps break for the same few reasons, and Claude's own team has written down how they avoid them. This free collection, nearly 69,000 GitHub stars, gathers 83 of those tips with a source on every one. You don't have to memorize them: you point Claude at the list and it tells you what to change in your own project.
Here's what's inside, the five tips to start with, how to apply them in Claude Code, and the honest catch.
The five tips to start with
- Make Claude grill you before anything ships: "grill me on these changes and don't make a PR until I pass your test", or "prove to me this works".
- After a so-so fix: "knowing everything you know now, scrap this and implement the elegant solution".
- Always start in plan mode, and have a second Claude review the plan like a staff engineer.
- Keep a session under about 40% of its context; start a new session for a new task.
- Keep CLAUDE.md under 200 lines, with the commands to set up, build and test your project.
Apply them to your project (5 minutes)
- Open your project in Claude Code (it needs a paid Claude plan).
- Paste the prompt below, with the repo link from the Sources list.
- Read the changes Claude suggests to your CLAUDE.md and settings, and accept the ones that fit.
- Use the grill-me and scrap-this prompts on your next change.
