prototype

prototype is a cursor rule for Cursor from GktuOktay/ai-skills. It costs 0 tokens per session (971 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to building early models of applications so ideas, user flows, and technical feasibility can be tested before full development. It explains low-, medium-, and high-detail prototypes, including coded MVPs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan wireframes, clickable mockups, interactive prototypes, or small working MVPs.
Why use it?
It helps teams choose the right level of detail without spending full-product effort on an untested idea.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

prototype scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Rapid Prototyping and MVP Development

Prototyping is the process of creating a preliminary model of an application to validate concepts, flows, and technical feasibility before committing to full-scale development.

1. Choosing the Right Fidelity

Prototypes range from low to high fidelity. Choosing the right level is essential for efficiency.

Fidelity Level Format Purpose Speed Tools
Low (Lo-Fi) Paper Sketches, Whiteboard Brainstorming, defining core layout, early validation of user flows. Very Fast Pen & Paper, Excalidraw, Balsamiq
Medium (Mid-Fi) Wireframes, Clickable Screens Defining structure, navigation, and content hierarchy without visual distraction. Fast Figma, Sketch, Whimsical
High (Hi-Fi) Interactive Mockups Finalizing visual design (colors, typography), micro-interactions, realistic user testing. Slow Figma, Framer, Protopie
Coded (Code-Fi) Functional MVP (HTML/CSS/JS) Validating technical feasibility, testing with real data, actual user interaction on devices. Very Slow CodeSandbox, Vercel, HTML/CSS, Tailwind

2. Tool Selection

  • Figma: The industry standard for Mid-Fi and Hi-Fi prototyping. Excellent for collaboration, creating clickable flows, and sharing with stakeholders.
  • Code-based Prototyping: Tools like Framer (which bridges design and code) or jumping straight into React/Tailwind. Best when interactions are too complex for Figma or when you intend to iterate the prototype directly into production.
  • No-Code/Low-Code: Tools like Webflow, Bubble, or Retool. Excellent for functional MVPs without requiring a full engineering team.

3. Speed vs. Quality Tradeoffs

A prototype is a disposable artifact used for learning, not a production application.

  • Accept Technical Debt: Hardcode data, skip error handling, ignore edge cases.
  • Fake It 'Til You Make It: Use "Wizard of Oz" techniques (humans manually doing tasks behind the scenes) instead of building complex backend logic.
  • Focus on the Core Loop: Only build the features necessary to test the specific hypothesis.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

prototype is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository GktuOktay/ai-skills (2 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 971 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
