ai-guide

This repository is a free, open knowledge base about AI tools and techniques, assembled by a Chinese content creator known as Fish Skin or yupi. It is a collection of documents and links rather than software you install and run. The stated goal is to cut through the information overload around AI so that anyone, not just programmers, can understand and use current tools.

The main focus is a beginner course on what the author calls Vibe Coding: a style of building software where you describe what you want in plain words and let an AI assistant write the code. The author says this approach has spread beyond developers to designers, product managers, and people with no technical background, some of whom have shipped and monetized their own products this way. The course is described as very large, with thousands of images and hundreds of thousands of words, organized so a newcomer can work through it in order or jump to a specific section.

The content is divided into clear areas. Basics help you produce something in your first session. A tools section guides you through choosing AI coding assistants such as Cursor and Claude Code. Project walkthroughs lead you through building real working products from scratch. Tips on working effectively with AI cover managing context and handling cases where an AI gives wrong answers. A section on turning a product into revenue discusses pricing, search optimization, and running social media channels.

Beyond the core course, the knowledge base includes introductions and usage guides for models like DeepSeek, GPT, Gemini, and Claude, reviews of AI tools, a library of prompt templates, and explanations of concepts such as AI agents and RAG. Suggested learning paths are provided for total beginners and for people who already have some programming experience.

The repository also invites contributors to add their own knowledge and welcomes readers into discussion groups. The project has expanded into an accompanying navigation website where all the content can be read online.
