Getting Started with vAIbecode

Welcome to vAIbecode! This guide walks you through the platform in under 10 minutes.

Prerequisites

Python 3.8+ or Node.js 18+ installed on your machine
A code editor (VS Code recommended)
A vAIbecode account (free)

Step 1: Browse the Library

Head to the Vibe Code Library from the top navigation. You'll see scripts organized by category: File Management, Email Automation, Data Processing, Office Tools, and more.

Use the search bar to find scripts for your specific task. Each script shows:

Language — the programming language
Rating — community score
Category — the automation domain

Step 2: View & Understand a Script

Click View Code on any snippet. You'll see:

Full source code with syntax highlighting
Installation instructions
Usage examples
Community comments

Read through the code carefully. Every script follows best practices: docstrings, type hints, error handling.

Step 3: Fork & Customize

Click the Fork button to create your own copy. Edit the script to match your specific needs:

# Example: customize the bulk renamer for your project
changes = bulk_rename(
    directory="./my-project/assets",
    prefix="v2_",
    pattern=r"old_(\d+)",
    replacement=r"new_\1",
    dry_run=True  # preview first!
)

Step 4: Run Locally

pip install -r requirements.txt  # if dependencies needed
python my_script.py

Always use dry_run=True first to preview changes before committing.
