Appendix

The appendix is neither a prep assignment nor a second book for you to read cover to cover. It is more like a toolbox: follow the main path in the main text first, and come back here to look things up as needed when you get stuck, forget how to phrase something, forget how to ask, or forget how to roll back.

Appendix Navigation

Appendix	Content	Best time to read
A. Common Prompt Templates	5 copyable templates for high-frequency scenarios	When you do not know how to get started
B. Common Errors and the “Ask AI” Process	Symptoms, supplemental information, how to ask, and recovery directions	When the page is blank, a button does not respond, or deployment fails
C. UI Quick Reference Card	Basic vocabulary for style, color schemes, layout, and interaction	When you want to change the interface but do not have the words
D. Git Minimal Operations Card	Save points, viewing history, rollback, and wording for delegating to AI	When changes are piling up and you are afraid of breaking things
E. API Keys, Environment Variables, and Basic Security	.env, .gitignore, and pre-launch checks	When connecting APIs or preparing to launch
F. What Vibe Coding Can and Cannot Do	Capability boundaries, suitable scenarios, and unsuitable scenarios	When you want to judge whether a project should be done this way
G. Advanced Jump Map	Advanced entry points corresponding to each boundary in the basic version	When you want to go deeper into a specific area

How to Get the Most Value from the Appendix

If you are already moving your project forward in the main text, the most recommended approach is not to “read from A to G,” but to look things up with a specific problem in mind.

• If you do not know how to write requirements, start with A
• If you hit an error, start with B
• If you are stuck on the interface, check C
• If you are preparing for a larger change, read D first
• Before connecting APIs or launching, read E first
• When judging project boundaries, go to F
• If you want a more systematic deeper dive, go to G

Used this way, the appendix truly becomes an accelerator rather than an extra burden.
