harden SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

harden from educlopez/ui-craft is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Production-readiness pass — audits and implements the full non-happy-path matrix: loading skeletons, empty states, error messages, partial data, i18n, offline, permissions, and first-run guidance. Use when preparing a surface for production or when the user says "it crashes on empty data" / "there's no loading state" / "harden this". Invoke when the user asks for harden on their UI, or mentions 'harden' alongside design / UI / frontend work.

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.

Harden the UI at `$ARGUMENTS` for production. Load the `ui-craft` skill.

**Coverage matrix — check every key surface:**

1. **Loading** — skeletons match the final layout (no CLS on resolve), shown after ~200ms to avoid flash on fast responses. Never a generic centered spinner when a skeleton is possible.
2. **Empty** — purposeful: one line explaining why it's empty + one clear primary action. Illustration optional, CTA mandatory.
3. **Error** — inline, actionable. "Save failed. Try again / Copy error / Contact support" — never just "Something went wrong." Surface the *what* and the *next step*.
4. **Partial data** — `—` (em dash) for missing metrics, never `N/A` or `null` or `0` when the value is truly unknown.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add educlopez/ui-craft/harden@sha256:2273e4c62d92212e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260817.c2d392b, 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.
