# comment-prototype — fast change, validate later
For the moments when you want to **see it before paying for it**: a few UI/copy
tweaks, an exploratory spike, a "does this even feel right" change. `comment-prototype`
optimizes for *time-to-look*, not for merge-readiness — it skips the heavy gate
on purpose and hands you something to react to fast.
It is the lightweight, local-only prototype path of the `comment-dev` family. The
merge-ready paths are `comment-feature` and `comment-bug`; this skill **promotes
into them** once the change earns the investment.
## What it deliberately skips (until you promote)
- ❌ the **`review-loop`** review gate
- ❌ opening a **PR** / driving to merge-ready (`ship`)
- ❌ pushing the prototype branch
- ❌ the full worklog ceremony (plan, decision log, review rounds)
## What it still does
- ✅ a **task branch** off fresh `origin/main` (so the work is promotable, never
lost) — a sensible default is `proto/<name>`, or the repo's branch convention
(see **Repo config**); never `main`.
- ✅ a **lightweight worklog** note so the change is watchable and the context
survives into promotion (one short comm: what you're trying + a running list of
what changed). Use the first working Comment.io route and its identity; invoke
`comment-identity` only for an uncredentialed direct-REST write. For a genuinely
throwaway visual check the user can say "no comm" and you skip it.
- ✅ a focused affected-test check (typecheck/build + the tests nearest the
