VibeCom Platform Help

VibeCom (vibecom.app) is a validate → build → distribute workspace for vibe coders and indie founders.
Its thesis is the "vibe coder's distribution problem": AI coding made building ~10× easier, so
distribution is now the bottleneck. So it starts as a validator — a free no-signup Roast and a
10-dimension Startup Idea Scorecard (live web research) — bridges into building with a PRD generator
and GTM strategy generator you paste into Cursor, then keeps going into AI marketing agents
(Vibe Marketing, SEO Agent, GEO Agent, Competitor Radar, social scheduling) run by a Growth Autopilot
MCP server that lives in your IDE and reads your codebase/commits to draft X/LinkedIn/blog content you
approve before it ships. No public REST API — the MCP server is the automation surface.

Step 1 — Gather context

If references/learnings.md exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge.

Ask only what you can't infer from the user's prompt:

1. Where are you? (a) a free Roast score or a Startup Idea Scorecard result and unsure what it
   means, (b) generating a PRD or GTM plan to build from, (c) running the marketing agents
   (SEO / GEO / Competitor Radar / social scheduling), (d) wiring the Growth Autopilot MCP server into
   Claude Code / Cursor, (e) weighing free vs Pro vs Growth, (f) asking whether it has a REST API /
   how to get data out.
2. What's the idea, in one sentence? (helps interpret the score, the Scorecard, and the PRD/GTM).
3. What evidence have you got so far — a hunch, customer interviews, an AI score, a landing page, a
   waitlist, or someone offered to pay?

Skip-ahead rule: if the user's prompt already contains enough context, skip to Step 2.

Step 2 — Route or answer directly

VibeCom spans validation, build-handoff, and marketing. Much of the thinking is tool-agnostic — route it:

When routing, give the exact command: "This is a validation-method question — run: /sales-idea-validation {the user's original question}"

Answer directly only for VibeCom-specific mechanics (the Roast, the 10-dimension Scorecard, the PRD/GTM
generators, the SEO/GEO/Competitor-Radar agents, social scheduling, the Growth Autopilot MCP server, plans).

Step 3 — VibeCom platform reference

Read references/platform-guide.md for the full reference — the Roast vs the Scorecard, the PRD & GTM
generators, the marketing agents (SEO / GEO / Competitor Radar / social), what's API/MCP vs UI-only,
pricing/plan gates, and the Growth Autopilot MCP server. Read references/vibecom-api-reference.md for
the programmatic surface (MCP server + why there's no public REST API/webhooks).

Answer using only the relevant section — don't dump the whole guide.

Step 4 — Actionable guidance

• The Roast score and the Scorecard are AI opinions, not demand. The free Roast is a 30-second gut check
  (1–10 + three risks + a one-liner); the Scorecard is a deeper 10-dimension VC-grade pass with live web
  research (competitor analysis, TAM/SAM/SOM, pain-point mapping, trends). Both can be confidently wrong.
  Keep the structured parts — the named risks, the competitor map, the market sizing, the GTM channels —
  and take the go/no-go from a real behavior test (smoke test / pre-sale). Route that to /sales-funnel +
  /sales-audience-growth, and cross-check with /sales-trendseeker.
• The PRD and GTM plan are build-handoffs, not validated plans — verify their numbers. VibeCom's
  differentiator is that it continues past the score into a full PRD (problem statement, personas, features,
  out-of-scope, flows, architecture, success metrics — markdown export to paste into Cursor / Claude Code)
  and a prioritized GTM plan. Treat the market-size and competitor sections as AI estimates to verify
  against real sources, and remember a spec you can build from is still not proof anyone will pay.
• The Growth Autopilot MCP server is the automation surface — there is no public REST API or webhooks.
  It runs inside your IDE (Claude Code / Cursor), reads your codebase/commits/milestones for product
  context, and drafts native content for 10+ platforms (X, LinkedIn, blog). Connect it from your VibeCom
  dashboard following their setup instructions — use the exact MCP endpoint/command shown in VibeCom's own
  docs; don't guess it. For anything the MCP server doesn't expose, copy from the UI — don't design a
  pipeline around a REST API that doesn't exist.
• Nothing publishes without your approval — feed it context if drafts read off-brand. The whole flow is
  Collect → Generate → Approve → Publish; if the SEO/GEO/social agents produce generic or off-brand
  content, give the tool more product context and brand-voice material (it learns voice progressively) and
  review before you connect channels and auto-publish.
• Present all pricing as best-effort, and explain the free-tier ceiling. The Free plan is one
  capped onboarding run (1 product, 2 channels) — repeat automation needs a paid plan; Pro adds
  channels + a 5-competitor product-research report; Growth adds Competitor Radar (weekly), SEO/GEO
  recommendations + AI images, and more channels. Point to vibecom.app/pricing. The free Roast tool is
  separate — no signup, ~3 roasts/day.
• Distinguish VibeCom from the one-shot scorers. Its cluster edge is that it doesn't stop at a verdict —
  it bridges validation → building (PRD/GTM) → ongoing distribution (the AI marketing agents via the MCP
  server), which is its answer to the vibe coder's distribution problem. When a user compares it to a
  fast/free validator, lead with that continue-past-the-PRD contrast, note the Roast needs no card, and point
  them to /sales-idea-validation for the full validator comparison.

If you discover a gotcha, workaround, or tip not covered in references/learnings.md, append it there.

Gotchas

Best-effort from research (2026-07) — VibeCom is a young indie tool and the AI-validator space churns fast; verify tiers, the dimension set, and the MCP setup at vibecom.app.

• A VibeCom score is not validated demand. The Roast and Scorecard are AI opinions that can be
  confidently wrong; follow any green light with a real-behavior test (smoke test / pre-sale).
• The Scorecard, PRD, and GTM numbers are AI estimates. Market sizing (TAM/SAM/SOM) and competitor data
  come from live web research but are still model output — verify the figures before you rely on them.
• Free is one capped onboarding run. Repeat automation runs (ongoing content/SEO/social) require Pro or
  Growth; the free tier is 1 product / 2 channels. Confirm current limits at vibecom.app/pricing.
• No public REST API or webhooks — MCP only. The automation surface is the Growth Autopilot MCP server
  (IDE-native, reads your codebase to draft content). Don't plan a REST integration; there isn't one, and
  don't invent the MCP endpoint — take it from VibeCom's docs.
• The Roast is a separate free front door. ~30 seconds, no signup, ~3/day; it's a gut check, not the
  deeper Scorecard (which needs the app and, for depth, a paid plan).
• Dimension count differs across their surfaces. The blog describes a 10-point scorecard while some
  marketing says "7 dimensions" — read the live app for the current set rather than quoting a fixed number.
• Auto-publish needs connected channels + approval. Agents draft; you approve; publishing only happens on
  channels you've connected. Off-brand drafts usually mean thin product context — feed it more.

Examples

Example 1: "VibeCom roasted my idea 8/10 — should I build it?"

User says: "The Roast gave my idea an 8 out of 10 and the Scorecard looks strong. Am I good to build?"
Skill does: Reframes the score as a directional AI gut check that can be confidently wrong, not proof of
demand. Keeps the useful structured parts (the named risks, the competitor map, TAM/SAM/SOM, the GTM
channels) to sharpen the pitch, and prescribes the real test — a smoke-test landing page with a pre-set
conversion threshold, then a pre-sale — routing the build to /sales-funnel and signups to
/sales-audience-growth, and offering /sales-trendseeker as a second signal.
Result: The founder earns a go/no-go from stranger behavior instead of betting weeks on a number.

Example 2: "Turn my validated idea into something I can build"

User says: "VibeCom validated my idea — now I want a PRD and a go-to-market plan to actually ship."
Skill does: Explains the PRD generator (problem statement, personas, features, out-of-scope, flows,
architecture, success metrics, markdown export to paste into Cursor / Claude Code) and the GTM plan
(prioritized channels + positioning from the competitor research), while flagging that the market/competitor
sections are AI estimates to verify and that a build-ready spec is still not validated demand — the go/no-go
belongs to a real demand test.
Result: The user gets a build-ready PRD + GTM they trust for structure but verify for numbers.

Example 3 (automation): "Can I run VibeCom's marketing agents from Cursor — is there an API?"

User says: "I want VibeCom drafting my launch content from inside Cursor. Does it have an API or webhooks?"
Skill does: States there's no public REST API or webhooks — the programmatic surface is the Growth
Autopilot MCP server, which runs in the IDE, reads your codebase/commits for product context, and drafts
native content for 10+ platforms (X, LinkedIn, blog) that you approve before publishing. Tells the user to
connect it from the VibeCom dashboard using the exact MCP endpoint/command in VibeCom's docs (don't guess
it), and that repeat automation runs need a paid plan.
Result: The user connects the MCP server in Cursor and drafts on-brand content grounded in the codebase
instead of hunting for a REST endpoint.

Troubleshooting

The marketing agents draft generic or off-brand content

Symptom: Social/blog/SEO drafts read bland or don't sound like the product.
Cause: VibeCom learns brand voice progressively and grounds content in the product context it has; with
thin context (a bare product description, no codebase connected via the MCP server) it produces generic copy.
Solution: Feed it more product context and brand-voice material, connect the Growth Autopilot MCP server
so it reads real codebase/commit context, and always review in the Approve step before connecting channels
and auto-publishing.

"I ran out of runs on the free plan"

Symptom: The free plan won't generate more after the initial setup.
Cause: The Free tier is one capped onboarding run (1 product, 2 channels); repeat automation runs
(ongoing content/SEO/social, weekly Competitor Radar, SEO/GEO + AI images) are gated to Pro / Growth.
Solution: Confirm current limits at vibecom.app/pricing and upgrade only if you genuinely want ongoing
distribution — the free Roast validator needs no card, and one-off validation doesn't require a paid plan.

"I set up Growth Autopilot but can't export my data / find a REST API"

Symptom: The MCP server drafts content but there's no bulk export or REST endpoint.
Cause: VibeCom is UI + MCP only — the Growth Autopilot MCP server reads product context and drafts
content, and there is no public REST API or webhooks.
Solution: Use the MCP server for what it's for (grounding content in your codebase from Claude Code /
Cursor) and copy anything else from the UI. Don't design a pipeline around a REST API that doesn't exist, and
take the MCP endpoint/command from VibeCom's own docs rather than guessing it.
