related-entity-entry-points

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the common SaaS UX gap where users cannot find entry points to create or navigate to child entities from parent pages, even when the backend has fully defined one-to-many relationships. It enforces the "if users can't see it, it doesn't exist" rule for parent-child UI flows, eliminating user feedback like "I can't create X from Y" or "I can't find where to add Z".

Core Features & Use Cases

• 4 Core Entry Point Patterns: Covers always-rendering detail page child sections with create buttons, URL parameter-driven child list page auto-open dialogs, clickable Kanban card related-count actions, and multi-preset grandchild page creation flows.
• FAB & Embedded Modal Patterns: Includes guidance for repositioning cross-cutting utilities (like AI assistants) to floating action buttons, and implementing embedded quick-create modals that preserve parent context instead of navigating away.
• Use Case: Applicable to any SaaS product with parent-child entity relationships, including CRM, ERP, e-commerce admin panels, and project management tools.
• Built-in Guardrails: Includes a curated list of common pitfalls (like hidden empty states, click event bubbling, URL preset leaks) and a 10-point audit checklist to verify implementation correctness.

Quick Start
