Apply conventional interaction behavior for keyboard shortcuts, focus, dialogs, overlays, menus, forms, and asynchronous controls. Use when those interaction mechanics are being built or reviewed; do not use for general page aesthetics, information architecture, or visualization quality.
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
# App UX: keyboard shortcuts and common paradigms ## User preference **Match desktop-app and modern web conventions by default.** Users should not need to hunt for close affordances or discover shortcuts only by accident. Apply only the patterns relevant to the interaction being built or reviewed. This skill does not authorize unrelated UI changes, and its tables are defaults, not a product-wide acceptance checklist. Accessibility, prevention of unintended destructive action, and avoiding silent data loss remain blocking where the touched interaction creates those risks. Stop when the requested interaction works in its relevant input and state variants; report adjacent consistency improvements as follow-ups. Pair with the **sync-url-navigation** skill for bookmarkable nav/filter state. ## Keyboard shortcuts ### Common expectations for touched interactions | Key / chord | Expected behavior | |-------------|-------------------| | **Esc** | Close the topmost overlay: modal, drawer, popover, context menu, inline edit. Do not close if a destructive save is in flight—block Esc while `saving` or show a clear state. | …

How to install
mdr add swyxio/skills/app-ux-paradigms@sha256:21b46d98cb1621b5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260822.a6cb86f, 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.
