Read-only audit of unhappy-path UI states — empty, loading, error, offline, zero-results, permission, overflow — then a fix plan. Use when "check empty/error states", "audit loading states", or "what happens when this fails".
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
# audit-ui-states — Unhappy-path state matrix **Degree of freedom: MIXED** — Phases 0–1 `[HIGH freedom]`; Phase 2 live force `[LOW freedom — run exactly]`. Read `protocol-browser-anti-stall` before any browser work. Read-only. Map every meaningful screen against the states it can be in. Flag blank boxes, infinite spinners, raw error objects, and broken overflow. **Happy-path-only UI is the signature of generated code:** it looks finished in the demo and falls apart the first time a list is empty or a request fails. > **Present the matrix first. Implement only on approval.** ## This skill vs neighbors | Skill | Owns | |---|---| | **audit-ui-states** (this) | Per-screen empty/loading/error/offline/overflow matrix | | `plan-stub-checker` | Dead buttons, fake data, unwired handlers | | `audit-resilience` | Backend timeouts/retries — not the front-end empty state | | `audit-responsive` | Breakpoint layout / linearized desktop | | `audit-ux` | Heuristics and microcopy voice | | `enhance-web-forms` | Form field/error/success patterns | | `test-visual-regression` | Lock the states this skill designs | Do **not** fire for "desktop looks like a phone" → `audit-responsive`. …

How to install
mdr add kensaurus/skills/audit-ui-states@sha256:b535a01980fe314eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.68c095e, 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.
