State-first design pass — inventories and implements all non-happy states (loading, empty, error, partial, conflict, offline) before the happy path, and refactors impossible boolean state to proper state machines. Use when starting a new screen, reviewing an existing one for edge-case gaps, or when the user says "handle the error state" / "add loading states" / "what happens when data is missing". Invoke when the user asks for unhappy on their UI, or mentions 'unhappy' alongside design / UI /…

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

<!-- HARNESS MIRROR — do not edit here. Canonical source: skills/ or commands/. After editing source, copy into cli/assets/<harness>/ and repo-root harness mirrors. -->

**Context:** this sub-skill is one lens of the broader `ui-craft` skill. If the `ui-craft` skill is also installed, read its SKILL.md first for Discovery + Anti-Slop + Craft Test, then apply the specific lens below.

Design every non-happy state for the UI at `$ARGUMENTS`. Load the `ui-craft` skill and read `references/state-design.md`.

**Step 1 — Inventory.** List every data source and interactive surface in the target. For each, enumerate its states:

| Surface | idle | loading | empty | error | partial | conflict | offline |
|---------|------|---------|-------|-------|---------|----------|---------|

Mark each cell as **designed** (exists in code), **missing** (must add), or **N/A** (not applicable — e.g., a read-only view has no conflict state).

**Step 2 — Fill the missing states.** For each missing state, either stub it inline or add a follow-up task comment. Use `references/state-design.md` for:
- Skeleton sizing (match final layout, 200ms delay, 5s upper bound)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add educlopez/ui-craft/unhappy@sha256:ab8d6a0cd93b504d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260806.bb71f4d, 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.
