apptension-frontend-craft

Award-informed product experience skills for AI coding agents — complete UI states, interaction craft, supporting imagery, forms, polish passes, and anti-slop visual design.

When to use it

I turn this on when I'm about to build or polish user-facing UI and want agents to ship calm, original, complete-state interfaces — not happy-path template chrome.

What's inside

Skills:

  • product-experience-standard — umbrella Done bar; points at the specialists
  • complete-ui-states — loading / empty / error / offline / success / conflict
  • interaction-craft — motion tokens, press feedback, reduced motion
  • supporting-imagery — required art for new surfaces (or documented no-art)
  • ux-inputs-and-forms — mobile forms, choices, labels, overflow
  • award-level-visual-design — composition, brand strength, anti-AI-slop
  • frontend-polish-pass — polish without changing functionality

Bundled (not skills — agents read on demand):

  • checklists/SHIP-UI.md — pre-Done craft checklist
  • checklists/REVIEW-4G.md — product-experience review checklist
  • prompts/DISTILLED-PROMPTS.md — reusable human/agent prompt macros
  • references/SUPERPOWERS-BRIDGE.md — how this plugs into Superpowers process
  • references/PRESSURE-SCENARIOS.md — TDD-for-docs scenarios

Notes

Why a new plugin (not folded into apptension-review or apptension-sdlc): Review is read-only findings; SDLC is issue→PR process. Frontend craft is a separate toggle — "I turn this on when building UI" — and can grow without diluting those intents. See plugins/README.md.

Superpowers is external (obra/superpowers). We do not fork it here. references/SUPERPOWERS-BRIDGE.md tells agents how to apply craft gates during brainstorming, planning, verification, and review dispatch.

Path convention: skills resolve relatives from their own directory. Bundled checklists / prompts / references are at the plugin root, so skills link them as ../../checklists/…, ../../prompts/…, ../../references/… (same pattern as apptension-sdlc → ../../docs/…).

Pairs with:

  • apptension-review code-review area 4g. Product experience
  • apptension-sdlc craft-never-skipped note + UI AC template + PR Experience
