SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Orchestrates the full prototype build cycle for a Subject Matter Expert. Coordinates layout confirmation and component building — it does not build components directly. Acts as the single entry point for all prototype-related requests. Trigger phrases: "build a prototype", "create a working prototype", "show me a working version", "prototype to clarify scope", "build an exploratory prototype"

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates a complete prototype lifecycle from plan alignment to SME walkthrough.
  • Delegates building tasks to specialized sub-skills (e.g., visual-companion and subagent-driven-prototyping) while maintaining coordination.
  • Supports hard-gate enforcement and discovery-plan-driven workflows for consistent outcomes.

Quick Start

Trigger prototype-builder in an active Exploration Session to coordinate the prototype workflow based on the approved Discovery Plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I orchestrate an end-to-end prototype build cycle for a subject matter expert?▼

Coordinate the full prototype build cycle by enforcing hard-gate requirements, confirming layouts, decomposing components, orchestrating builds, and conducting SME walkthroughs based on an approved Discovery Plan.

What is a hard-gate requirement in prototype workflow management?▼

A hard-gate requirement in prototype workflow management is an enforced checkpoint ensuring layout confirmation, component decomposition, and discovery plan alignment are completed before advancing the build cycle.

Do I need a Discovery Plan before starting a prototype build session?▼

Yes, a Discovery Plan is required before starting a prototype build session. The orchestration workflow applies in exploration sessions where a Discovery Plan exists to drive layout confirmation and component decomposition.

How do component decomposition and layout confirmation work during prototype exploration?▼

Component decomposition and layout confirmation work by validating the layout direction first, then breaking the prototype into buildable components delegated to specialized sub-skills for execution during the exploration session.

Can I build prototype components directly within this workflow management process?▼

No, you cannot build prototype components directly within this workflow. It coordinates layout confirmation and delegates component building tasks to specialized sub-skills like visual-companion and subagent-driven-prototyping.

Where are exploration notes and prototype walkthrough captures written after a build?▼

Exploration notes and prototype walkthrough captures are written to the exploration/captures directory after completing the build cycle, ensuring all prototype notes and SME feedback are documented.
