prototype

To set up a rapid testing prototype workflow for Luau scripts in Roblox, create a folder under prototypes/<name>/ with a README.md stating your hypothesis, place code in a src/ subfolder, and run it via Rojo or Roblox Studio.

The best way to structure throwaway code for Roblox experiments is isolating files within a dedicated prototypes/<name>/ directory, explicitly documenting the hypothesis in a README.md, and keeping code separate from production src/ imports.

Prototyping Luau code requires a specific directory structure where files live under prototypes/<name>/src/ and must avoid importing from the main src/ directory to maintain isolation from production standards.

You can run a Roblox prototype directly in Studio without a full Rojo setup, as the workflow supports simple runnable setups via either Rojo or Roblox Studio to test hypotheses quickly.

You should avoid using a throwaway prototype workflow for production-grade code, as the minimal scope and isolated prototypes/ directory are designed for quick learning and testing rather than maintaining production standards.

To document findings after testing a rapid Roblox prototype, record results in the README.md, then reach a decision point to either rewrite the code for production standards or archive the prototype.
