SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you create throwaway prototypes to explore and validate designs before implementing them in production. It routes between two branches: a terminal app for state/business-logic questions and UI variations for visual designs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Terminal Prototype: Build an interactive terminal app to test state models and logic.
  • UI Prototype: Generate multiple UI variations for a single route, allowing quick design exploration.
  • Use Case: If you're unsure about the state model or UI design for a new feature, use this Skill to quickly create a prototype to validate your ideas.

Quick Start

Run the prototype skill with the command: /start prototype --type terminal --question "Does this state machine handle the edge case where X then Y?"

Frequently Asked Questions about prototype

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate state machine logic before implementing it in production?▼

You can validate state machine logic by building a throwaway terminal prototype. This interactive terminal app lets you test business logic and edge cases quickly before committing to full implementation.

What is the best way to explore multiple UI variations for a single route?▼

Exploring UI variations involves generating multiple visual designs for one route using a UI prototype switcher. This allows quick design exploration and side-by-side comparison before final commitment.

When should I use throwaway prototypes for design validation?▼

Use throwaway prototypes for design validation when you are unsure about a state model or UI design. They enable fast iteration to test ideas without the overhead of production-ready code.

Can I test business logic edge cases using a terminal app prototype?▼

Yes, you can test business logic edge cases using a terminal app prototype. It provides an interactive interface specifically for exploring state models and validating logic flows.

Does prototyping before committing to implementation slow down development?▼

Prototyping before implementation accelerates development by validating ideas early. Creating throwaway terminal or UI prototypes prevents committing to flawed state models or visual designs.
