Prototype Work

Purpose

A React-based prototype reference app models user flows, designs, and user journeys in a React single-page application with mocked external dependencies and API calls. It provides an easy-to-change place to iterate on domain objects, business rules, validation, the design system, and the look of the real application. Agents use it as a guide when implementing approved production features.

When To Use

• Use when iterating on the maintained prototype of a production application, including its design system, user flows, domain objects, domain validation, and planned or existing features.
• For implementation work, use only when the user requests a feature implementation or update that touches a production application's frontend or user-visible interface.
• Use for exploratory research that compares prototype features with implemented production features.

Rules

• Make and approve new production features in the prototype before making them in production. Production must not contain features absent from the prototype, while the prototype may contain features absent from production.
