At a glance

Design the three states every data UI forgets. An agent skill from Archive228/loopkit.

  • Any component that fetches
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Loading Empty Error States is an agent skill from Archive228/loopkit. Design the three states every data UI forgets. Use for any component that fetches or lists data.

Its SKILL.md is about 210 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: 33 battle-tested skills + minimal .claude harness for any coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI). The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Any component that fetches

Example prompts

  • “/loading-empty-error-states”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5ae033e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Loading Empty Error States loads about 206 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 98 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~31
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~206

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

when_to_use
a list, a fetch, a dashboard, anything async in the UI

Loading / Empty / Error States

AI-built UIs handle the happy path and crash on the other three. Design all four:

  • Loading — skeletons that match the final layout (not a centered spinner that shifts everything).
  • Empty — a real first-run state: what it is, and the one action to fill it. Not a blank box.
  • Error — what failed, in human terms, plus a retry. Never a raw stack trace or silent nothing.
  • Partial — slow/streaming data, optimistic updates that can roll back. For each fetch in the diff, confirm all four exist. The empty and error states are where products feel broken.
