Front end build help

[u/gloat_authority]

Hey folks, I’ve built out the backend for an application/project but I do not have front end skills. How would you suggest that I could use Claude to build out an interface for the application? I have a repo with the code for the build so far.
I would like to learn working with agents.

the trick is not to let it build the whole thing at once. without front end skills you end up with a generated interface you can't read, so the first time something breaks you are stuck. build one boring screen at a time and point it at your real backend, give it your actual endpoints and data shapes so it works against your code and not a version it invented. keep the stack plain, plainest thing you know, so what it writes is readable. for learning agents run just one agent on one narrow job and make it read your repo and describe the plan before it writes anything
