When should I use a widget versus text in my MCP app?

Use widgets for visual comparisons, interactive selections, or complex data displays. Use the model's text for gathering info, explaining results, and making recommendations.

How does this skill help with OpenAI Apps SDK development?

It provides structured templates and scoring rubrics specifically designed to align with OpenAI's UX principles, helping you decide what should be a tool call versus a visual widget.

What is an MCP-native mindset?

An MCP-native mindset focuses on extracting specific, conversational value from an application rather than porting an entire complex dashboard or interface into a chat environment.

What are common UX anti-patterns for ChatGPT apps?

Common anti-patterns include 'The Portal' (recreating navigation tabs), 'The Form Dump' (complex multi-field forms), and 'The Dashboard' (unnecessary charts and metrics).
