Generate USWDS-aligned front-end prototypes with semantic HTML, accessible structure, and federal design patterns.

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

# Skill: USWDS Front-End Prototype

Generate USWDS-aligned front-end prototypes with semantic HTML, accessible heading structure, and federal design patterns. Produces draft artifacts for human review before deployment.

## When to Use

- Creating a new page for a federal digital service
- Prototyping a user interface before full implementation
- Building static HTML mockups for stakeholder review
- Generating accessible page structures
- User asks "create a page for..." or "build a prototype..."

## Prerequisites

- Understanding of the target audience and purpose
- Content or placeholder text for the page
- Any specific USWDS components needed
- Accessibility requirements for the context

## Procedure

### Step 1: Clarify Requirements

Before generating, confirm:

- [ ] Page purpose (informational, transactional, navigational)
- [ ] Target audience
- [ ] Primary content or message
- [ ] Required USWDS components (header, footer, cards, alerts, etc.)
- [ ] Any specific accessibility concerns

### Step 2: Generate Page Structure

Create semantic HTML with:

```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gsa-tts/agentic-coding-patterns/uswds-prototype@sha256:c0011ffdd58cfdc1

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
