build-for-good-ux skillA

build-for-good-ux is agent-read markdown (skill) from alper-dev/build-for-good-ux-skill: Audit, build, or refactor frontend UI components, pages, forms, and interactive flows to implement complete UX states (loading, success, error, empty), resilient async degradation, accessible button interactions, error recovery, Fitts's Law mobile touch targets, and choice simplification. Use when creating or reviewing user-facing interfaces, form validations, multi-section dashboards, checkout flows, or gesture-sensitive mobile screens..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Build For Good UX

Based on Katherine Gilligan's public "Build For Good UX" series ([@synsation_](https://instagram.com/synsation_)). Use this as an implementation checklist for UI work, not as transcript notes.

## Core Principle

Good UI is how an app looks. Good UX is whether users understand what to do, what happened, what failed, and how to recover. AI-generated UI often covers only the happy path. Build the full experience.

Every screen needs these states:

| State | Required UX |
|---|---|
| Loading | Shows progress appropriate to wait time and scope |
| Success | Confirms the user's action worked |
| Error | Explains what happened, why, and next action |
| Empty | Explains why nothing is there and how to start or continue |

Good UX builds trust. Bad UX creates uncertainty, extra steps, and friction. Users leave and blame the product, not themselves.

## Required Workflow

When building or reviewing a UI, do this before considering the work complete:

1. Identify every user action and async data source.
2. Define loading, success, error, and empty states for each relevant screen or section.
