The workshop skill now asks once whether to build a clickable prototype first, but only for UI-ish work.

What

The workshop skill now surfaces one early choice about whether to build a clickable prototype artifact before doing the real work.

Details
  • New section with a canonical decision block using id: build-approach and the options prototype and direct.
  • Only raised when a shareable page could plausibly stand in for the work.
  • Explicitly not mentioned at all for backend, CLI or refactoring work.
Evidence

## Prototype first or build directly

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
