prototype-ux

prototype-ux is a skill for Claude Code from tomzx/agents. It costs 29 tokens per session (477 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A user-experience prototyping guide for making wireframes or clickable prototypes and testing key user journeys before development. A wireframe is a simple screen layout used to explore an interface without building the finished product.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to decide whether an initiative has a user interface, prototype its main journeys, and run a short test with target users.
Why use it?
It finds usability problems while changes are still cheap. It also records risks and feeds important findings back into requirements or acceptance criteria.

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-ux 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 6d 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.

What it actually says

Prototype UX

For UI-bearing initiatives, de-risk the experience before build: produce wireframes or a clickable prototype, run a short usability test, and record what was learned. For initiatives with no UI surface, this skill is a no-op (state surface: none and skip).

Prerequisites

  • Apply the shared PDLC conventions in skills/pdlc/references/shared.md.
  • prd.md with functional requirements.

Steps

  1. Determine whether the initiative has a UI surface. If not, write prototype.md with surface: none and stop.
  2. Map the key user journeys the prototype must cover (tie to FR-N requirements).
  3. Produce the lowest-fidelity artifact that lets a user walk the journey: sketches, wireframes, or a clickable prototype. Fidelity should match the risk — higher fidelity only where a workflow question is unresolved.
  4. Run a usability test with 3-5 target users (or teammates role-playing the persona). Task them with the journeys; observe where they struggle.
  5. Record findings as usability risks ranked by severity, each tied to a requirement or journey step.
  6. Feed material findings back into write-prd (revise requirements) or define-acceptance (add usability acceptance criteria).
  7. Write prototype.md to the initiative directory.

Output Format

Use the template at skills/pdlc/templates/initiatives/prototype.md. Include the journeys tested, the fidelity used, the findings, and links/references to the artifact itself.

Outcome

If $OUTCOME_YAML is set, emit verdict: drafted (or surface: none).

Completion Checklist

  • UI surface confirmed or surface: none recorded
  • Key journeys tied to requirements
  • Usability test run with named participants (or personas)
  • Findings ranked and routed back to PRD or acceptance where material

Next Step

Load define-acceptance if not already run, then run the Define gate via make-decision.

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.
