What problem does it solve?
Strengthen user interfaces against real-world failures by improving error handling, internationalization, text overflow handling, and edge-case management so designs survive messy production inputs and unreliable environments.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Error handling & recovery: Clear user-facing errors, retry paths, timeouts, and fallback modes for network and API failures.
- Internationalization & RTL support: Accommodate long translations, RTL scripts, CJK characters, and localized date/number/currency formats.
- Layout resilience & performance: Prevent text overflow, support responsive typography, handle large datasets with pagination or virtualization, and avoid memory leaks.
- Accessibility & graceful degradation: Keyboard navigation, screen reader announcements, reduced-motion preferences, and progressive enhancement for no-JS scenarios.
- Validation & security: Client and server-side validation, sanitization, and clear permission/validation states for reliable UX.
Quick Start
Use the harden skill to test a UI with extremely long inputs, RTL text, CJK characters, and simulated network failures to validate error states and layout resilience.
