Agent Task: Triage Prototype Intake

Goal

Turn a rough idea into a clear triage outcome: prototype card, merge, park, or reject.

Context

whynot-control uses PROTOTYPE_PIPELINE.md to move ideas from raw capture into structured prototype exploration.

Inputs

• One item from inbox/ or an equivalent rough note.
• PROTOTYPE_PIPELINE.md
• templates/prototype-card.md

Allowed Changes

• Create or refine a prototype card in prototypes/.
• Improve wording and structure of the input note.
• Recommend park, merge, or reject when a prototype card is not justified.

Forbidden Changes

• Do not treat the idea as a committed product.
• Do not invent signal evidence that does not exist.
• Do not create beta, pricing, or public launch commitments.

Expected Output

• One explicit triage outcome.
• If promoted to prototype, one draft prototype card with learning question, test, and expected signal.

Acceptance Criteria

• The output states who might care, what is being tested, and the smallest useful next step.
• The outcome is one of: prototype card, merge, park, or reject.

Human Approval Required For

• Promoting the idea beyond prototype exploration.
• Making external commitments.
