| description | Use when exploring a Gormes UI, TUI, protocol, state-machine, or runtime design with throwaway code before committing to production implementation. |
Use this when a small disposable experiment will answer a design question faster than editing production code.
Inspired by mattpocock/skills prototype; adapted for Gormes branch, progress, and parity rules.
Do not use this for normal progress-row implementation; use gormes-tdd-slice instead.
tmp/, artifacts/, or a prototype_*.go/*_prototype.dart file excluded from production paths.git status --short shows prototype files are removed, isolated, or clearly staged as artifacts.Implement one selected repo-scoped Gormes row with tests. Use when next-work says decision=build. Do not use for decision=plan, broad parity audits, or untracked feature ideas.
Shape source-backed Gormes progress rows. Use for decision=plan builder handoffs, row splitting, feature maps, or parity planning. Do not use when decision=build or for runtime code.
Route Gormes work to the smallest repo-local skill chain. Use before substantial planning/building/refactor work, when unsure which Gormes skill applies, or when creating/improving repo-local skills.
Build one selected Gormes behavior with red-green-refactor. Use when the row or reproduced bug defines a test target. Do not use after decision=plan or for broad planning.
Move one bounded cmd/gormes command domain out of root files toward root main.go only. Use when thinning cmd/gormes, burning down loose root files, preserving CLI behavior, or catching refactor regressions during cmd moves.
Use when an agent is unfamiliar with a Gormes code area, a change crosses package boundaries, or a refactor needs a source-backed module map before edits.
