What it does

Frontend UX is an agent skill from austintgriffith/ethskills. Frontend UX rules for Ethereum dApps that prevent the most common AI agent UI bugs. Mandatory patterns for onchain buttons, approval flows, address UX, USD context, RPC reliability, theming, and pre-publish metadata. Use whenever you are building a frontend for an Ethereum dApp.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Smart contracts and Theming and dark mode. It works with Ethereum. The repository describes itself as: The missing knowledge between AI agents and production Ethereum.

When your agent uses it

  • You are building a frontend for an Ethereum dApp
  • Tasks that involve Smart contracts
  • Tasks that involve Theming and dark mode

Example prompts

  • “/frontend-ux”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Disable immediately on click
  2. Show spinner + action text (Approving..., Staking...)
  3. Stay disabled until chain state confirms completion
  4. Show success/error feedback when done

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 06ea4ef. 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 (its code samples are typescript).

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • ethskills.com

    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

Frontend UX loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 616 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 616 words (~1,495 tokens).

“"The button works." A clickable button is not enough. It must disable immediately, show a clear pending state, and stay locked until onchain confirmation.”
