AI Guide (程序员鱼皮) Free

What it is

AI Guide (程序员鱼皮的 AI 资源大全) is a curated, Chinese-language knowledge base and tutorial hub about AI and "vibe coding," maintained by 程序员鱼皮 (Liu Yupi / liyupi), a well-known Chinese programming educator. It is not a coding tool itself — it is a large collection of original tutorials, comparisons and reference material for developers learning to build software with AI.

What is inside

• A from-scratch "Vibe Coding" tutorial track described as running to hundreds of thousands of words with accompanying screenshots, walking through the full path from idea to shipped product
• Comparisons of major model providers (DeepSeek, GPT, Claude, Gemini, GLM), covering strengths, weaknesses and suggested use cases for each
• Usage guides for coding tools including Cursor, Claude Code, TRAE and GitHub Copilot, aimed at readers going from first install to daily workflow
• Reference material on Agent Skills, RAG, MCP and Agent-to-Agent (A2A) concepts, explaining the underlying standards rather than just naming them
• Framework tutorials (Spring AI, LangChain) and notes on monetizing AI-built products, aimed at developers who want to ship and sell what they build
• Linked video courses on Bilibili that pair with the written tutorials

Works with

Documentation only — it describes and links to Cursor, Claude Code, TRAE, Copilot and other tools rather than integrating with them directly.

How to use it

There is nothing to install; it is a documentation site and GitHub repository you browse, at ai.codefather.cn or on GitHub.

Maintenance and safety

Very active: 20,600+ stars, 2,287+ forks, and commits as recent as this month. Documentation content is licensed CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 (non-commercial); the website's own code is MIT licensed.

Pricing

Free to read online or clone. There is no paid tier, subscription or account wall for the written material; the linked Bilibili video courses live on that platform's own terms and pricing, separate from this repository.

Who should use it

Chinese-speaking developers who want one continuously updated reference for vibe coding concepts, model comparisons and coding-tool usage, instead of piecing tutorials together from scattered blog posts. It is a poor fit for anyone who does not read Chinese, or who is looking for a downloadable app or CLI rather than a reading list.
