?variant= URL param and a floating bottom bar with arrow-key cycling. - Use Case: You are unsure whether a state machine handles a specific edge case. The Skill creates a runnable terminal prototype with keyboard shortcuts that mutate in-memory state and re-render the full frame after every action, so you can feel the problem immediately. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to prototype the state machine or page design you are unsure about, and it will build a runnable throwaway prototype you can drive yourself.High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Build a small interactive terminal app where a pure reducer or state machine holds in-memory state and keyboard shortcuts dispatch actions. The screen clears and re-renders the full state after every action, so illegal transitions become obvious when you drive it by hand.
Render several structurally different variants on the same route, gated by a ?variant= URL search param, with a floating bottom bar to cycle between them. Keeping the existing data fetching and page context makes each variant easier to judge against real content.
No. Prototypes keep state in memory by default because persistence is usually the thing being checked, not a dependency. Only hit a scratch database or local file when the question explicitly involves persistence, and name it clearly as disposable.
Choose a terminal prototype when the question is about logic, state transitions, or data shape. Choose a UI prototype when the question is what something should look like. A backend module suggests logic; a page or component suggests UI.
Capture the answer in a commit message, ADR, or NOTES.md, then delete the prototype or fold the validated decision into real code. The portable logic module can be lifted into production, but the TUI shell and losing UI variants should be removed.
