Getting Started

The Prototypes repo is a pnpm + Turborepo monorepo. All 104 packages live under packages/ and can be explored, built, or tested from the repo root. See The Seed Vault for the metadata system that keeps them discoverable at scale — passport schema, taxonomy, validators, generator.

Prerequisites

Node.js 20+
pnpm 10+ (corepack enable to activate)
.NET 8+ SDK (for C#/MAUI packages)

Clone and install

git clone https://github.com/mcp-tool-shop-org/prototypes.git
cd prototypes
pnpm install

Build all packages

pnpm build

This runs turbo build across all packages that have a build script. C#/.NET packages need dotnet build run separately inside their directories.

Explore a specific package

Each package is self-contained under packages/<name>:

cd packages/deltamind
ls

Most packages include their own package.json (or .csproj), src/ directory, and tests.

Run tests

pnpm test

Some packages may have outdated test configurations. These are archived prototypes and test infrastructure was not always complete at the time of consolidation.

Reviving a package

If a prototype looks like it should be a real product, graduate it. The formal flow is documented in The Seed Vault → Graduate a seed:

Push the package contents to a new repo under mcp-tool-shop-org
Run shipcheck on the new repo
Set lifecycle.state = "graduated" and lifecycle.graduatedTo = "<new-repo-url>" in the seed’s passport.json
pnpm seed:validate enforces the graduation shape

The passport acts as a forwarding address — anyone browsing the vault sees where the seed went.
