What it is

Checklist Design provides short, practical checklists for pages (sign-up, pricing, settings, 404) and components (buttons, forms, tables, modals), covering the states and details people forget: loading, empty, error, hover, focus, keyboard.

Why it’s here

Paste a checklist into your prompt and your agent stops forgetting the empty state and the focus ring. Cheap, effective, and a good way to learn what "complete" means.

Best for

  • making sure a screen is complete
  • prompting for all states
  • QA before shipping

Can my agent use this?

Agent good agent friendliness

Yes. Copy the relevant checklist into your prompt: "build the settings page and satisfy every item on this list".

Good: Publicly accessible and useful to reference, but the agent will need to interpret it rather than install it.
