# Skill Card: prototype-lab

## Description
Guides creation of throwaway prototypes that answer one concrete design, logic, or integration question.

## Owner
ABVX / Anton Biletskiy-Volokh

## License
MIT. See repository LICENSE.

## Intended Use
Use for UI variants, state-machine exploration, data-model sanity checks, interaction sketches, and unknown integration behavior.

## Out of Scope
Do not use to ship production code without tests, review, or cleanup.

## Sources and Attribution
ABVX adapted from local prototype workflow.

## Inputs and Outputs
Inputs: question to answer, repo context, constraints, target users, existing app patterns.

Outputs: runnable prototype, observed learning, decision note, cleanup/absorb plan.

## Risks and Mitigations
- Risk: prototype rots in repo. Mitigation: mark throwaway and close with delete/absorb decision.
- Risk: polishing too early. Mitigation: focus on one question and one command.
- Risk: wrong prototype type. Mitigation: choose logic, UI, or integration branch first.

## Evaluation
Evaluated by structural validation and manual review against prototype workflows.

## Version
0.2.0
