Empty States Need Clear Actions

Verbatim from the baseline-ui skill — one line under "Design". Our reasoning: an empty state is the first screen a new user sees, and "No items" is a dead end dressed up as information. It reports a fact the user can already see and withholds the only thing they need, which is what to do about it. Give it three parts — what this space is for, why it is empty right now, and one primary action that fills it — and note the word "one": two competing buttons hand the decision straight back.

Distinguish the empty cases, too, because they need different actions: nothing created yet is an invitation, no search results is a prompt to widen the filter, and a load failure is a retry.
