SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of prototyping design solutions quickly and without commitment, allowing for disposable code that focuses on answering specific questions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Design Question Answering: Build throwaway code to test and validate design assumptions.
  • Logic and UI Prototyping: Supports two branches for prototyping logic and UI designs.
  • State Capture: Ensures that the answers and learnings from prototypes are captured durably.

Quick Start

Invoke the prototype skill with the command: prototype -q "What should this feature look like?"

FAQPage Schema
How do I use throwaway code for design validation without committing to production logic?

To validate UI or logic branches, you generate disposable scripts that answer specific design questions without committing to production code. This approach supports quick prototyping and durable capture of findings for later manual integration or deletion.

What is the best way to prototype UI and logic branches separately?

Prototyping UI and logic branches separately involves creating disposable code targeted at answering one specific design question at a time. This method focuses on quick validation and ensures the learnings from each branch are captured durably before discarding the code.

Can I run interactive UI/UX testing using generated throwaway scripts?

Yes, UI/UX testing can be performed using generated throwaway scripts that require interactive execution. This allows you to validate design assumptions and capture findings durably before manually integrating or deleting the prototype code.

How do I capture state and findings from a design prototype durably?

Capturing state from a design prototype durably means recording the answers and learnings derived from your throwaway code. This ensures that the validation results outlive the disposable scripts themselves, requiring manual integration into production code.

When should I not use disposable code for design prototyping?

You should not use disposable code for design prototyping when you need permanent implementation or lack the environment for interactive execution. This approach requires manual deletion or integration of findings and is strictly for quick, non-committal validation.
