prototype

prototype is a skill for Claude Code from qGolem/orc. It costs 12 tokens per session (6,327 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided workflow for taking a full-stack feature from requirements through implementation, testing, and deployment. Full-stack means work spanning the user interface, server-side code, and data or infrastructure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prototype and deliver a feature through a fixed sequence of planning, building, verification, and deployment steps.
Why use it?
It keeps each stage documented, pauses for approval at checkpoints, and stops when a step fails instead of silently moving on.

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 1mo 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.

CRITICAL BEHAVIORAL RULES

You MUST follow these rules exactly. Violating any of them is a failure.

  1. Execute steps in order. Do NOT skip ahead, reorder, or merge steps.
  2. Write output files. Each step MUST produce its output file in .prototype/ before the next step begins. Read from prior step files -- do NOT rely on context window memory.
  3. Stop at checkpoints. When you reach a PHASE CHECKPOINT, you MUST stop and wait for explicit user approval before continuing. Use the AskUserQuestion tool with clear options.
  4. Halt on failure. If any step fails (agent error, test failure, missing dependency), STOP immediately. Present the error and ask the user how to proceed. Do NOT silently continue.
  5. Use only local agents. All subagent_type references use agents bundled with this plugin or general-purpose. No cross-plugin dependencies.
  6. Never enter plan mode autonomously. Do NOT use EnterPlanMode. This command IS the plan -- execute it.

Pre-flight Checks

Before starting, perform these checks:

1. Check for existing session

Check if .prototype/state.json exists:

  • If it exists and status is "in_progress": Read it, display the current step, and ask the user:

    Found an in-progress prototype session:
    Feature: [name from state]
    Current step: [step from state]
    
    1. Resume from where we left off
    2. Start fresh (archives existing session)
    

    Resuming: Read current_step from state.json. Skip directly to that step — all prior step output files already exist in .prototype/ and should be read from disk, not regenerated.

    Archiving: Move the entire .prototype/ directory to .prototype-archived-{ISO_DATE}/, then create a fresh .prototype/.

  • If it exists and status is "complete": Ask whether to archive and start fresh.

2. Initialize state

Create .prototype/ directory and state.json:

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.

prototype is a skill published in the GitHub repository qGolem/orc (5 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 6,327 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
