prototyping-lab SKILL.md skillA
prototyping-lab from vecnode/vncode is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add vecnode/vncode/prototyping-lab@git:20261011.069f245Pins git:20261011.069f245 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Work the prototyping lab itself — where runs live, what a run is, how to promote a run into the checked example library, and how to add a new runtime (Processing in Rust, Cinder) in one module. Use when asked to add a language or framework to the lab, to turn a prototype into a reusable example, to find or tidy what is in the lab, or when the lab's folder or catalog needs explaining.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# The prototyping lab itself This skill is about the **lab**, not about drawing in it. Read it when the task is to extend or maintain the place rather than to write a sketch. ## Where the lab is, and why it is not in git ``` ~/Desktop/vncode-lab/runs/<runtime>/<slug>/ one folder per run ~/Desktop/vncode-lab/runs/catalog.json what the lab has made (seed, concept, files) ~/Desktop/vncode-lab/prints/ saved PNGs ~/Desktop/vncode-lab/apps/ compiled binaries ``` Resolution, in order: 1. `DSH_PROTO_LAB_ROOT` — an explicit root: an absolute path, or one relative to the workspace (a standalone clone, a different project). Prints and apps then live inside it; 2. otherwise `~/Desktop/vncode-lab/` — because a prototype is a thing you open and a print is a thing you look at, so both belong where a person can see them rather than buried in a checkout; 3. otherwise `<workspace>/lab` on a machine with no Desktop at all (a container, a CI runner). The lab still works there; it is simply not on a desktop. The desktop folder is what `lab_open` prints, and it is the answer to "where did my …

How to install
mdr add vecnode/vncode/prototyping-lab@sha256:c4104cc85e716103The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.069f245, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
