Prototype environment
This is a prototype, not the real app
It's a sandbox for trying out an idea quickly — fake data, no real backend calls, no production credentials — before anyone commits to actually building it.
Prototype
Build the screens and flows that matter most
Document
Jot down what you built in HANDOFF.md as you go
Review
Everyone takes a look and says yes, or not yet
Hand off
A developer picks it up and builds it for real
A few ground rules
Worth knowing whether you're typing this by hand or pairing with an AI agent.
Where fake data lives
Keep it in data/ as plain .json files — never call a real API from here.
Note it in HANDOFF.md so whoever picks this up later knows what's fake.
If you're pairing with Claude
It reads AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md first — that's what tells it to
ask before installing anything, and to keep HANDOFF.md up to date as it works.
Keep it light
Only add what you actually need right now. Nothing production-related belongs here: no real credentials, no internal packages, no real client data.
Running it locally
open index.htmlNo build step, no install — just open the file in a browser. For a local server with live reload, use VS Code's "Live Server" extension, or run python3 -m http.server.
