Build or improve progress, cancellation, result handoff, and reliability when creating or changing a user-facing slow asynchronous action, model call, media job, queue, or multi-step workflow. Applies to batch size, concurrency, and rerun changes affecting the visible wait; do not wait for a stuck-action complaint. Exclude ordinary fast requests and backend-only changes with no user-facing operation affected.
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
# Long-Running Operation UX Match the solution to the actual user problem. Preserve accumulated workflow lessons and the preferred stack without making advanced architecture mandatory. ## Activation Apply this skill when creating or materially changing a user-facing action that launches noticeable asynchronous work, including batch size, concurrency, reruns and result handoff. Do not wait for the user to report that it looks stuck. A backend change affecting a visible operation is in scope; a model call with no user-facing wait is not sufficient by itself. ## Maturity profiles ### L0 — Blind button A user action silently waits, appears stuck, or loses its result. This is the failure to diagnose, not a maturity level to ship. ### L1 — Busy state Use for short, predictable interactions. Acknowledge the click immediately, show pending/completed/failed, prevent duplicate submits, restore controls, and display the new result. Reuse existing component state. ### L2 — Honest wait Use for a noticeable one-shot or an existing background job. Add elapsed time, the real latest state, useful errors, and existing polling or subscriptions. …

How to install
mdr add swyxio/skills/long-running-operation-ux@sha256:8eb21dfe5070a526The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.bb1fad9, 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.
