build-frontend SKILL.md skillA

build-frontend from phelan164/codex-howto is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add phelan164/codex-howto/build-frontend@git:20260731.42e092c

Pins git:20260731.42e092c in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Build or modify frontend interfaces using repository-native components while preserving accessibility, responsive behavior, state handling, and visual verification. Use for UI features, design implementation, forms, client-side defects, and frontend refactors; do not use for backend-only or infrastructure-only work.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Build Frontend

## Domain contract

- Preserve the project’s framework, styling system, and component conventions.
- Do not invent API response fields or silently change backend contracts.
- Do not replace an established design system with custom one-off styling.
- Define loading, empty, error, success, and disabled states that the changed
  flow can reach.
- Keep semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, focus behavior, labels, and contrast in scope.
- Avoid speculative shared abstractions for a single component.
- Treat screenshots and mockups as visual references, not proof of interaction behavior.
- Do not claim visual verification unless the UI was rendered or inspected.

## Execute and verify

Read [references/verification.md](references/verification.md) for UI, accessibility, responsive, and browser verification. Load it when the task changes rendered behavior or interaction.

Reuse existing components and tokens, implement the smallest coherent change,
and prove behavior at the lowest useful layer. Prefer:

```text
component test → feature test → type/lint → build → visual/interaction check
```

If a command cannot run, report the exact blocker and what remains unverified.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add phelan164/codex-howto/build-frontend@sha256:8c34e89a05f58bbc

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260731.42e092c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
