ce-prototype

by Compound Engineering (Every)

Build a throwaway prototype someone can try, to answer how an interface, flow, or state model should work or feel. Use when they have to try it to decide — one question, or the next related question after they try it — not just talk it through or look at a sketch. Not a visual probe, not for brainstorming what to build, polishing a feature that already works, or implementing the real thing.

Frequently asked questions about ce-prototype

What does the ce-prototype skill do?

Build a throwaway prototype someone can try, to answer how an interface, flow, or state model should work or feel. Use when they have to try it to decide — one question, or the next related question after they try it — not just talk it through or look at a sketch. Not a visual probe, not for brainstorming what to build, polishing a feature that already works, or implementing the real thing. It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.

How do I install the ce-prototype skill?

Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install compound-engineering-ce-prototype` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/compound-engineering-ce-prototype/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.

Which AI tools does ce-prototype work with?

ce-prototype runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.

Is the ce-prototype skill free?

Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.

How do I use ce-prototype after installing it?

In Claude Code, type `/compound-engineering-ce-prototype` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.

Can I share the ce-prototype skill with my team?

Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
