SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Throwaway prototypes let you sanity-check a data model, state machine, or UI design before writing behavior specifications, reducing risk and rework.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Throwaway, quick-feedback prototypes that answer a defined design question.
  • Branch exploration for data models, state machines, or UI variants, with decisions documented for absorption into production code.
  • Rapid learning and governance by capturing assumptions and outcomes to inform architecture.

Quick Start

Create a minimal prototype focused on the key question and run it to observe outcomes before committing to production code.

FAQPage Schema
Why build a throwaway prototype before writing behavior specifications?

A throwaway prototype validates a data model, state machine, or UI design before committing to behavior specifications. This reduces risk and rework by sanity-checking design questions early.

How do I validate a state machine design without affecting production code?

You validate a state machine design by building a lightweight, throwaway prototype that explores branches and records decisions. This ensures your production code remains unaffected during design validation.

Can I explore multiple UI variants rapidly before committing to an architecture?

Yes, you can explore multiple UI variants rapidly by building throwaway prototypes. The skill documents assumptions and outcomes from each branch to inform your final architecture.

What's the best way to capture assumptions during rapid UI design iteration?

The best way to capture assumptions during rapid iteration is by recording decisions within the throwaway prototype. This captures rapid learning and governs outcomes for later integration.

Do I need specific frameworks to prototype a data model for quick feedback?

No specific frameworks are required. The skill requires only a lightweight implementation to build a minimal prototype focused on your key data model question for quick feedback.

When should I not use throwaway prototypes for design validation?

You should avoid throwaway prototypes when you need permanent production features or lack a defined design question. They are strictly for lightweight exploration before committing to specifications.
