ss14-prototype-basics

name	ss14-prototype-basics
description	Learn or explain the basics of SS14 prototypes. Use when creating a first entity prototype, teaching prototype inheritance, finding where YAML lives, understanding common prototype components like `Sprite`, `Item`, `Tag`, or `Storage`, or when converting a rough gameplay idea into a prototype-first implementation plan.

SS14 Prototype Basics

Use this skill for first-contact prototype work and for explaining prototypes to contributors or agents.

Workflow

1. Open references/prototype-primer.md.
2. Open references/first-prototype-workflow.md for the practical search-parent-edit loop.
3. Open references/common-prototype-components.md when you need quick reminders for the most common YAML-side components.
4. Start from an existing nearby prototype instead of writing a large entity from scratch.
