Disposable code that answers a design question without committing to a full feature, enabling quick validation before investing in implementation.
Identify the design question, implement the smallest working prototype for that question (logic/state or UI), and capture the final decision in NOTES.md before deleting.
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
You validate a design question by building the smallest possible throwaway prototype that directly answers the query, enabling rapid validation before committing to full feature implementation.
The best way to structure a rapid prototype is through guided bifurcation, splitting work into UI variant explorations or logic/state prototypes based on the question type, while documenting references in REFERENCE.md.
You document validation notes by capturing the final design decision in NOTES.md or an ADR (Architecture Decision Record) before deleting the throwaway prototype to ensure no-persistence by default.
Yes, rapid prototyping covers both logic/state prototypes and UI variant explorations depending on the question type, allowing you to test state management logic or visual design alternatives quickly.
You should avoid throwaway prototypes when you need persistent implementation features, as they enforce no-persistence by default and require capturing decisions in NOTES.md or ADR before deletion.
No, rapid prototyping requires no specific dependencies or components, allowing you to create disposable code quickly with minimal setup to answer focused design questions.
