SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill allows users to quickly create and interact with throwaway prototypes to validate logic and UI designs before implementing them in the codebase.

Core Features & Use Cases

Logic Prototyping: Build interactive terminal apps to explore and test state models and business logic.
UI Prototyping: Generate multiple UI variations for a single route, allowing users to visualize and choose the best design.
Use Case: When designing a new feature, use this Skill to create a logic prototype to ensure the state model works as expected before writing the actual code.

Quick Start

Run the prototype by typing 'pnpm run prototype' in the project directory.

FAQPage Schema

How do I validate UI design variations before implementing them in my codebase?▼

You can validate UI design variations by generating multiple interactive prototypes for a single route, allowing you to visualize and choose the best design before writing actual implementation code.

What is logic prototyping with state machines?▼

Logic prototyping with state machines involves building interactive terminal apps to explore and test state models and business logic, ensuring your state machine works as expected before actual implementation.

How do I create an interactive prototype to test my design logic?▼

To create an interactive prototype, run the command 'pnpm run prototype' in your project directory to launch a lightweight TUI for interaction and in-memory state management.

Can I use interactive prototypes for state model validation without external dependencies?▼

Yes, interactive prototypes for state model validation require no external dependencies, relying solely on in-memory state management and a lightweight terminal user interface for interaction.

What's the best way to sanity-check design questions during feature development?▼

The best way to sanity-check design questions is using throwaway interactive prototypes that validate both logic state machines and UI designs before committing to codebase implementation.

When should I not use interactive prototypes for design validation?▼

You should avoid using interactive prototypes for design validation when you need permanent production code, as these are throwaway prototypes meant for temporary logic and UI design testing only.
