apexyard: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/prototype-close/SKILL.md

prototype-close is a skill for Claude Code from me2resh/apexyard. It costs 45 tokens per session (2,693 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A closing step for a disposable UX prototype that records whether the idea should become a real feature or be discarded.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to promote a chosen direction into a feature ticket or write a memo explaining why the prototype was discarded.
Why use it?
It prevents an experimental mockup from quietly becoming production work without a deliberate decision.

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-close 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 yesterday.

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.

Writing rule

When this skill writes a durable artifact, read .claude/rules/writing-standard.md. Use the controlled technical writing profile.

/prototype-close — Close a Prototype via the Disposition Gate

The disposition gate prevents the worst-of-both case: a prototype that "looked great in the demo" but never decides what to do with it, leaving a throwaway mockup that quietly gets promoted into production. Every prototype must close with one of two paths:

  • PROMOTE — the direction was chosen; file a fresh [Feature] ticket so the real work goes through the full production SDLC. The prototype artifact is NOT lifted into production — the new feature re-implements based on the chosen direction.
  • DISCARD — the direction was rejected (or "not now"); write a memo at docs/prototype-memos/<slug>.md so future-us doesn't re-explore the same ground.

This is the UX/demo sibling of /spike-close (technical exploration). Same gate, same two paths, different artifact directory (docs/prototype-memos/ vs docs/spike-memos/).

Path resolution

Read the registry path via portfolio_registry, the per-project docs dir via portfolio_projects_dir, and the ideas backlog via portfolio_ideas_backlog — all from .claude/hooks/_lib-portfolio-paths.sh. Source the helper at the top of any bash block that touches those paths:

source "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/.claude/hooks/_lib-read-config.sh"
source "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/.claude/hooks/_lib-portfolio-paths.sh"
registry=$(portfolio_registry)

Defaults match today's single-fork layout. See docs/multi-project.md.

Usage

/prototype-close --promote 142
/prototype-close --discard 142
/prototype-close --promote          # uses the active-ticket marker
/prototype-close --discard

Process

1. Resolve the prototype ticket

Two paths:

  • If $ARGUMENTS includes a number (e.g. --promote 142 or --discard owner/repo#142), use that.
  • Otherwise read the active-ticket marker (.claude/session/current-ticket or .claude/session/tickets/<project>) and use the ticket recorded there. If neither resolves, ask:

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
