Use when scaffolding any frontend surface that touches lists, forms, drawers, tables, or entity editing. Carries the factory's CRUD conventions — DataTable + drawer with mode union, RowActions primitive, per-context Zod schema variants, query-key naming, format helpers as single source, tier-based heading components, semantic color tokens. Picks Mantine vs shadcn per project criteria. Returns code that fits the house style — not a generic React component.

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

Apply the **frontend-engineer** specialist workflow. Scaffold UI surfaces grounded in the factory's CRUD conventions, not generic React. Load `factory-frontend`, `factory-state-modeling`, `factory-design`, and `factory-stack` through the host's skill capability when needed. `factory-design` owns visual coherence; `factory-frontend` owns CRUD shape; `factory-state-modeling` owns how the states are counted before either.

## How to think (in order)

1. **What surface is this?** Restate the request in one sentence. Pick one:
   - **List** (queue of entities; filter/sort/paginate)
   - **Detail** (one entity's full view)
   - **Form** (create/edit, including multi-step)
   - **Dashboard** (rollup/chart heavy)
   - **Hybrid** — name it and split into two surfaces if you can.

2. **Is this CRUD?** If yes, the default shape is **DataTable + drawer with mode union**. Don't deviate without naming why. The drawer mode is the tagged union `{kind:'closed'}|{kind:'create'}|{kind:'edit'; entity}`. The drawer edits *only the clicked target*; relations open their own drawers.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nonlinear-xyz/factory-kit/factory-frontend-engineer@sha256:26f59e7792fc74b8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.d37b2cc, 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.
