Build a throwaway prototype to flush out a question before committing to it. Routes between three branches — a runnable terminal app for state/business-logic questions (LOGIC), several radically different UI variations toggleable from one route (UI), or a focused spike that gives a binary verdict on whether a technical assumption holds (FEASIBILITY). Use when the user wants to prototype, sanity-check a data model or state machine, mock up a UI, explore design options, verify an `Uncertain`…
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
# Prototype A prototype is **throwaway code that answers a question**. The question decides the shape. > **Forked from Matt Pocock's `/prototype` on 2026-05-11; kit-owned for iteration.** The LOGIC and UI branches are unchanged from upstream. The FEASIBILITY branch is a kit addition so `/research` and `/execute` can name a discharge route for `Uncertain` assumptions that are cheaply verifiable by code. ## Pick a branch Identify which question is being answered — from the user's prompt, the surrounding code, or by asking if the user is around: - **"Does this logic / state model feel right?"** → [LOGIC.md](LOGIC.md). Build a tiny interactive terminal app that pushes the state machine through cases that are hard to reason about on paper. - **"What should this look like?"** → [UI.md](UI.md). Generate several radically different UI variations on a single route, switchable via a URL search param and a floating bottom bar. …

How to install
mdr add chrislacey89/skills/prototype@sha256:4609712b4677d3b7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260618.9e506b1, 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.
