Its purpose is to aggregate AI learning resources, tool guides, and tutorials into a single free platform. The primary audience is Chinese-speaking developers and non-technical users who want to learn how to use AI tools and build products with them without paying for premium courses. The project calls itself a completely free and open AI knowledge sharing platform. The author's stated goal is reducing the information gap between those who have access to AI tool knowledge and those who do not. The repository is also the source for the navigation and learning site at ai.codefather.cn, which renders the documentation through VuePress. The repository has no GitHub releases. It is continuously updated as new content is added. The last push as of the writing of this article was on 2026-09-28. ## Repository Structure and Navigation The repository is organized into three main content areas: The `Vibe Coding 零基础教程/` directory is the flagship content, described as the most important material in the repository. It contains 15 numbered subdirectories spanning an introduction through advanced topics: - `00 Vibe Coding 简介` (introduction) - `01 快速上手 Vibe Coding` (quick start) - `02 AI 编程学习路线` (learning path) - `10 编程工具/` (AI coding tools: Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, etc.) - `15 模型动态/` (model release reviews) - `20 项目实战/` (hands-on projects) - `30 经验技巧/` (experience and efficiency tips) - `40 编程学习/` (programming fundamentals) - `50 产品变现/` (product monetization) - `60 Vibe Coding 资源大全` (resource collection) - `65 鱼皮的 AI 编程实战视频课` (companion video course) - `70 Vibe Coding 概念大全` (concept glossary) - `75 AI 大模型原理入门` (LLM fundamentals) - `90 Vibe Coding 常见问题和解决` (troubleshooting FAQ) The `AI/` directory holds a broader AI knowledge base, organized around tools, models, and application scenarios. The `OpenClaw 保姆级教程/` directory contains a step-by-step guide to the OpenClaw platform. The `translations/` directory provides English and Traditional Chinese versions of the Vibe Coding tutorial, making that specific section accessible to non-Simplified-Chinese readers. ## Getting Started with the Repository The documentation site at ai.codefather.cn is the intended reading interface. To read the content locally or build a local copy of the VuePress site, clone the repository and install the dependencies: ```bash git clone https://github.com/liyupi/ai-guide.git cd ai-guide npm install ``` Start the VuePress development server: ```bash npm run docs:dev ``` To build a static export: ```bash npm run pre-docs:build npm run docs:build ``` The pre-build step runs two scripts that auto-generate the sidebar configuration and the README index for the `AI/` directory. The generated static files land in `.vuepress/dist`. The `npm run serve` command starts a local server for the built output. For the English-language Vibe Coding tutorial specifically, the content is at `translations/en/Vibe Coding 零基础教程/README.md` in the repository. ## Content Coverage and What the Site Teaches The README describes the Vibe Coding tutorial as covering seven areas: foundational concepts, AI programming tool selection (AI code editors, no-code platforms, agent platforms, CLI tools, IDE plugins), hands-on project walkthroughs, efficiency and quality techniques, product monetization guidance, programming fundamentals for deeper learning, and a resource collection of tools and prompt templates. The knowledge base navigation table in the README links to sections on specific models (DeepSeek, GPT, Gemini, Claude), specific tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, TRAE), development frameworks (Spring AI, LangChain), and application scenarios (video creation, office productivity, knowledge management, job applications). The tool reviews section names specific products: GPT-5, Claude 4, Cursor 2.0, Gemini CLI, and others. These are time-bound reviews; content about specific model versions will become outdated as models are updated or superseded. The repository does not document a formal curriculum structure with prerequisites or assessments. It is organized as reference material that a reader can navigate by topic rather than a sequential course. ## Language Barrier and Accessibility for English Readers The majority of the content in liyupi/ai-guide is written in Simplified Chinese. The English translation covers the Vibe Coding tutorial but not the broader AI knowledge base, the tool reviews, or the OpenClaw guide. An English reader who clones the repository will find that most Markdown files are inaccessible without translation tooling. The license file is listed as NOASSERTION in the repository metadata, meaning the standard automated license detection did not produce a definitive result. There is a LICENSE file in the repository, but its terms are not surfaced through standard metadata. Anyone planning to redistribute or derive commercial work from the content should examine the LICENSE file directly. The VuePress 1.9 build system used in this repository is an older version of VuePress. VuePress 2.x and the successor project VitePress are the current generation of the same toolchain. This does not affect reading the content on the live site but is relevant for contributors who plan to modify the build configuration. ## How It Compares to Other AI Learning Repositories Microsoft's unilm repository and Meta's llama-cookbook are also large AI repositories on GitHub, but they contain research code and fine-tuning examples rather than tutorial documentation. liyupi/ai-guide is closer in purpose to an awesome-list or a gitbook: it is a curated set of links, prose explanations, and lightweight tutorials aimed at helping practitioners adopt AI tools quickly. Compared to the typical awesome-list format, ai-guide adds opinionated guidance. The README describes learning paths for both beginners and developers with prior coding experience. It gives explicit time estimates (first day, first week) and concrete first goals, which is more prescriptive than the aggregation-only format of a typical awesome list. The repository's community contribution model invites submissions from AI practitioners who want to share knowledge, with stated benefits of visibility and peer recognition. The structure and scale of accepted contributions are not formally documented in the README. ## Maintenance and Contribution The project is under active development with a last push on 2026-09-28. It has no tagged GitHub releases; the live site reflects the current state of the main branch continuously. Contributions are welcomed from anyone who identifies as an AI practitioner. The CONTRIBUTING.md file in the repository describes the process. The README explicitly invites community co-creation, positioning the project as a collectively built knowledge resource rather than a single author's personal notes. The project's community channel is through the WeChat public account listed in the README. Developers outside the Chinese social media ecosystem may find the primary support channel inaccessible. ## Conclusion liyupi/ai-guide is worth bookmarking for Chinese-reading developers who want a single free resource covering Vibe Coding, LLM tool selection, and monetization paths. English-speaking developers can access the Vibe Coding tutorial via the translations directory but will find the broader knowledge base inaccessible without reading Chinese. The repository has no formal versioned releases, so the best way to follow it is by watching the main branch, which received its most recent push on 2026-09-28. ## FAQ ### What is ai-guide? liyupi/ai-guide is a free, open-source AI knowledge base and Vibe Coding tutorial repository in Chinese, maintained on GitHub and published as a navigation site at ai.codefather.cn.
