Build a throwaway prototype to de-risk a design decision before committing to production code. Use for state-machine validation, API ergonomics testing, UI layout exploration, or algorithmic feasibility. The prototype is explicitly disposable — no tests, no types, no polish. Goal is learning speed, not shipping quality.
Open a disposable prototype session, define one falsifiable question, time-box the exercise to 15–25 minutes, and document findings in PROTOTYPE_FINDINGS.md before deleting the prototype.

Test API ergonomics by prototyping the interface with minimal dependencies and no polish, focusing purely on how the API feels to consume. You time-box the exercise to 15–25 minutes and record whether the design decisions are viable in a dedicated findings file.
Run a throwaway prototype by defining a single focused question, setting a clear 15–25 minute duration, and building a disposable script with no production polish. You preserve the trade-offs and outcomes in PROTOTYPE_FINDINGS.md to inform your real implementation.
Disposable prototyping supports radical variations to compare A/B UI layout experiments and reveal trade-offs. You can explore multiple approaches quickly, ensuring each prototype remains single-purpose and explicitly disposable to prevent drift into production code.
Do not use throwaway prototypes when you need shipping quality, comprehensive tests, or strict type safety, because the workflow is explicitly designed to skip polish. If your task lacks a single falsifiable question or cannot be time-boxed, prototyping will likely drift.
You should keep dependencies minimal when testing design decisions with a prototype to ensure disposability and fast iteration. The goal is learning speed through a single focused exploration, so you avoid heavy setups and document findings in PROTOTYPE_FINDINGS.md before deleting the code.
