Matt Pocock&amp;rsquo;s Prototype skill inverts that. It treats a prototype as &lt;strong&gt;throwaway code that answers a single question&lt;/strong&gt;, and it makes that throwaway-ness a hard rule instead of an accident. The skill ranks #12 on the skills.sh all-time leaderboard with about 34,000 weekly installs, inside the &lt;a href="https://github.com/mattpocock/skills" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;mattpocock/skills&lt;/a&gt; family (223K stars) alongside &lt;a href="https://topaiskills.com/skills/general/handoff/"&gt;handoff&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://topaiskills.com/skills/general/grilling/"&gt;grilling&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="https://topaiskills.com/tutorials/guides/domain-modeling-procedural-guide/"&gt;domain-modeling&lt;/a&gt;. I read the actual SKILL.md, LOGIC.md, and UI.md line by line, and the discipline is tighter than the one-liner suggests.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
