SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of design paralysis by providing a structured, throwaway environment to test business logic, state machines, or UI variations before committing to a permanent implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Logic Prototyping: Build interactive terminal applications to stress-test state transitions and business rules.
  • UI Exploration: Generate multiple structural UI variations on a single route to compare layouts and information hierarchies.
  • Use Case: When you are unsure if a complex state machine handles edge cases correctly, use this Skill to build a TUI that lets you manually trigger state changes and observe the results in real-time.

Quick Start

Use the prototype skill to create a new logic prototype for the current state machine and run it in the terminal.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate business logic and state transitions before committing to a final implementation?

You can validate business logic by building interactive terminal applications to stress-test state transitions and business rules. This allows you to manually trigger state changes and observe results in real-time within a throwaway environment.

What is the best way to explore UI design variations and compare layouts?

The best way to explore UI variations is by generating multiple structural UI layouts on a single route to compare information hierarchies. This iterative design process prevents design paralysis before committing to a permanent implementation.

Do I need a specific task runner to execute isolated prototype modules?

Yes, executing isolated prototype modules requires a project-specific task runner. This setup ensures throwaway code artifacts run without persistent side effects, maintaining a clean environment for iterative experimentation.

When should I use throwaway code to test a state machine?

Use throwaway code to test a state machine when you are unsure if it handles edge cases correctly. It provides a structured environment to validate complex state models safely before integrating them into your permanent codebase.

Can I manually trigger state changes in a terminal-based prototype?

Yes, you can manually trigger state changes in a terminal-based prototype. By building a TUI for state machine testing, you can interactively observe the results of business rules and state transitions in real-time.
