Our assessment of prototype
prototype scores 70/100 on our quality scale, 168th of 194 Design skills we index.
Its SKILL.md is 1.6 KB long, split into 3 sections and no code examples: moderately detailed.
With 4,427 GitHub stars, it is one of the more widely adopted skills in the catalogue.
Maintenance, license and trust
- The repository was last updated 5 days ago, so prototype is actively maintained.
- It is released under the MIT license, a permissive license that allows use, modification and commercial use with attribution.
- Its trust signals score 100/100, with no cautions. These come from repository metadata, not a code audit — read the skill file before letting an agent act on it.

Prototype
Prototype 是用来回答一个问题的 throwaway code。问题决定形状。
Pick a branch
先识别正在回答哪个问题:来自用户 prompt、周围代码,或在用户在线时直接询问:
- "Does this logic / state model feel right?" → LOGIC.md。构建一个单一、可分享的 HTML 文件——free-play buttons 加 tabbed guided walkthroughs——推动 state machine 跑过纸面上难以推理的 cases,而且非开发人员也能驱动它。
- "What should this look like?" → UI.md。在单一路由上生成几种差异很大的 UI variations,并通过 URL search param 和浮动底栏切换。
这两个分支会产出非常不同的 artifacts;选错会浪费整个 prototype。如果问题确实模糊且用户不可达,默认选择更匹配周围代码的分支(backend module → logic;page 或 component → UI),并在 prototype 顶部说明假设。
Rules that apply to both
- 从第一天就是 throwaway,并明确标记。 Prototype code 要靠近它实际会被使用的位置(放在被 prototype 的 module 或 page 旁边),这样上下文清楚;但命名要让随手读代码的人看出它是 prototype,不是 production。对 throwaway UI routes,遵守项目现有 routing convention;不要发明新的顶层结构。
- 运行毫无负担。 UI prototype 从项目 task runner 中的一条命令启动——
pnpm <name>、python <path>、bun <path>等。Logic demo 则是用户双击即可打开的单个 HTML 文件。无论哪种,启动都不需要动脑。 - 默认不持久化。 State 保存在内存中。Persistence 是 prototype 要_检查_的东西,不该成为依赖。如果问题明确涉及 database,就用 scratch DB 或带有清晰 “PROTOTYPE — wipe me” 名称的本地文件。
- 跳过 polish。 不写 tests,不做超过“能跑起来”所需的 error handling,不做 abstractions。重点是快速学到东西。
- 暴露 state。 每次 action(logic)或每次 variant switch(UI)后,打印或渲染完整相关 state,让用户看到发生了什么变化。
- 完成后 capture。 把验证过的 decision 折进真实 code,然后把 prototype 本身作为 primary source 保存:commit 到 main 之外的 throwaway branch,并在 implementation issue 上留下指向该 branch 的 context pointer。同时在 issue 或 commit 中 capture answer,也就是 verdict 与它解决的问题。Main branch 只保留验证过的 decision。
