7.1 Module 7 · The Development Loop

Idea → Prompt → Review → Refine

Development loop simulator — walk through a complete build cycle with decision points at each stage. See how choices at the idea stage cascade through prompting, review, and refinement. Practise the full loop 3 times.

Loop Simulator

Step through three different project scenarios. At each stage of the development loop — Idea, Prompt, Review, Refine — you will choose from 2–3 options. Watch how early decisions cascade through the entire cycle and affect your final quality score.

Scenario 1 / 3
0 / 3 loops

Key insight: The development loop is not a waterfall — each stage feeds back into the others. A vague idea produces vague prompts, which produce code that is hard to review, which leads to unfocused refinements. Investing time at the idea stage compounds quality through every subsequent step. The best vibe coders spend 40% of their time on ideation and only 10% on refinement.

Decision Point Tracker

Track your cumulative quality score and review every decision you made across all scenarios. See patterns in where you excel and where you can improve.

Complete at least one loop above to see your decision history.
