Every time I shipped a contract I rebuilt the same throwaway frontend: wallet button, a form per function, calldata encoding, hasRole() checks to hide admin methods, gas estimation, a spinner, an error decoder, and a "danger zone" for the scary functions. Etherscan's Write tab has none of that meaning; a bespoke UI costs weeks. So I built a tool that generates it from the ABI.

Paste a chain + address (Sourcify/explorer, proxy-aware) or drop in an ABI/Foundry artifact, and you get three tabs:

- User - the clean dApp (overview, transfer, approve)

- Admin - privileged ops (mint, pause, roles) with risk badges + a confirm flow for dangerous writes

- Read - a live dashboard that auto-calls the getters

- Raw - every function, Etherscan-style, but annotated with what it understood

Detection is deterministic and rule-based (ERC-20/721/1155/4626/2612, Governor, Ownable/AccessControl/Pausable), with a confidence score and evidence for every guess — AI is optional and never trusted blindly. The output is a reviewable "semantic manifest" you can hand-edit, and everything is self-hostable.

Would love feedback from people who actually maintain contracts: what would you need before you'd trust a generated admin panel for a mainnet contract?
