Two design skills · both proven

prototype vs ui-ux-pro-max

Both skills were run through Claude twice: once on a fixed brief without the skill, once with it. The briefs differ because each is written for the job the skill claims to do, so compare each skill against its own baseline, then decide which difference matters for your work.

prototype

Build a throwaway prototype to answer a design question. Use when the user wants to sanity-check whether a state model or logic feels right, or explore what a UI should look like.

Brief: “We are designing the order state model for a food delivery app. An order can be placed, accepted by the restaurant, being prepared, ready for pickup, picked up by a courier, and delivered. The customer can cancel until the restaurant starts preparing; the restaurant can cancel at any time before pickup; a cancellation after payment triggers a refund, partial if food was already prepared. We are not sure this logic is right. Build a throwaway prototype as a single HTML page that lets someone on the team drive an order through these states and see where the rules break or get confusing.”

Brief: “Build the dashboard home screen for Tally, a personal finance app: a sidebar, a header with the account switcher, a balance hero, a monthly spending chart drawn with inline SVG, a recent transactions list, budget progress cards, and an upcoming bills panel. It should feel like a finished product, with hover states and subtle motion.”
