README

Excerpt

Skill: Prototype & Research

Guide work through the right fidelity level with validation.

Steps

Read workflows/prototyping.md (5-level fidelity ladder, journey mapping template, usability-testing script, sample data).
Identify the current need and pick the lowest fidelity that answers it — never skip levels:
- Content-first (info needs) → Wireframe (layout/nav) → Low-fi (task completion) → High-fi (visual/a11y) → Code (feasibility/perf).
For flows: produce a user-journey map with decision points, error paths, and edge cases.
For validation: define the usability test (tasks, success criteria, 5-user rule) using the script.
High-fi/code steps pull tokens (tokens/*), components (components/*), taste (taste/*), and a11y (accessibility/*).

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
