SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Prototype helps you quickly validate whether a design, interaction, or state model actually works before you invest in production code.

Core Features & Use Cases

Logic prototyping: Explore business rules, state transitions, and edge cases with a small interactive terminal experience.
UI prototyping: Compare several structurally different interface options on one route and switch between them easily.
Throwaway workflow: Keep the prototype close to the real codebase so you can learn fast, then delete or absorb the winner.
Use case: Try out a new dashboard layout, test a tricky workflow, or pressure-test a draft state machine with realistic inputs.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to build a throwaway prototype for your specific logic or UI question and make it runnable in one command.

FAQPage Schema

How do I validate a state machine design before writing production code?▼

To validate a state machine before production, you can build a throwaway logic prototype that tests state transitions and edge cases with a small interactive terminal experience. This lets you pressure-test draft models with realistic inputs quickly.

What is the best way to compare competing UI concepts in a live environment?▼

The best way to compare UI concepts is through UI prototyping with route-based variant switching. This approach places structurally different interface options on one route, allowing you to easily switch between them for hands-on comparison.

How do I set up a throwaway prototype to test business logic in my host project?▼

To set up a throwaway prototype for business logic, ask the assistant to build it for your specific question and ensure it has a one-command runnable setup in the host project. It keeps experiments close to your codebase for fast learning.

Do I need a specific prototype question defined before starting logic prototyping?▼

Yes, you need a clear prototype question defined before starting. Logic prototyping requires knowing exactly what design or state model you want to validate so the throwaway prototype can directly answer those specific business rule inquiries.

Can I test route variants without permanently changing my application codebase?▼

Yes, you can test route variants without permanent changes by using in-memory or route-based variant switching. This throwaway workflow lets you learn fast and then delete the prototype or absorb the winning variant into production.
