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.
