The Ultimate Vibe Coding Guide for Hackathons I Jake Hall

Thu, Oct 2, 2025, 12:00 AM

Jake Hall presents "The Ultimate Vibe Coding Guide for Hackathons," introducing Task-Driven Development (TDD) as an AI-powered alternative to Test-Driven Development. He demonstrates using AI tools like Cursor and models such as GPT-3 and Claude to structure and automate coding workflows, specifically for hackathon projects. The session focuses on building a custom plugin for the Hedera Agent Kit, integrating with Meme Job Fund (a Web3 token platform), and emphasizes the importance of creating a Product Requirements Document (PRD) to anchor AI outputs and prevent hallucinations. Jake details a step-by-step process: drafting a PRD, generating granular tasks, and iteratively collaborating with AI to implement features, referencing documentation and existing code for context. He highlights best practices for context management, task validation, and parallelizing work, aiming to boost productivity and maintainability in rapid development environments. The talk concludes with a recap of the TDD workflow and encourages hands-on exploration. 00:00 Introduction 00:29 Task-Driven Development Overview 01:19 Repo and Hackathon-Specific Rules 01:36 Hedera Agent Kit & Project Context 02:44 Plugin Objective & Workflow Steps 03:08 Step 1: Creating the PRD 04:19 Context Engineering & Referencing Docs 05:24 Choosing AI Models & Prompt Engineering 06:16 Clarifying Questions & PRD Anchoring 07:20 PRD Structure & Task Generation 08:37 Q&A: Managing Context 09:29 Step 2: Creating Tasks 10:40 Reviewing & Adjusting Tasks 12:04 Implementation Phase & Parallelization 14:14 CLI Tools & Productivity Tips 15:14 Adding Context for Implementation 16:17 Managing Chat Contexts 17:22 Monitoring AI Progress & Reference Tools 18:48 Plugin Creation & LangChain Integration 19:42 Final Steps & Time Constraints 20:17 Recap & Best Practices 21:00 Conclusion & Q&A _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 🇫🇷 *ETHGlobal Cannes* This workshop is specifically for ETHGlobal Cannes, a 3-day hackathon held July 4-6, bringing together the most skilled web3 developers, designers and product builders from all around the globe for a weekend-long adventure to advance the Ethereum ecosystem!
