skills/components/layout/grid/SKILL.mdComponents: Grid Layout
Guides grid layout design for equal-hierarchy, multi-column content display. Grids display multiple items with equal emphasis; space-efficient and scannable. Used for products, templates, tools, features, blog indexes, and galleries.
When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.
When to Use Grid
| Use grid when | Use list when |
|---|---|
| Visual content (images, thumbnails) | Text-heavy; scan by title |
| Equal emphasis across items | Compact; many items; dense info |
| Products, templates, gallery, features | Blog index, docs, search results |
| Browsing, discovery | Reading, scanning |
See list for list layout; card for card structure within grid.
Grid Structure
| Element | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Columns | 1–4+ columns; adapt to viewport |
| Gap | Consistent spacing between items |
| Items | Equal or proportional sizing |
| Responsive | 1 col mobile → 2–4 cols desktop |
Implementation
- CSS Grid:
orrepeat(auto-fill, minmax(min, 1fr))
for fluid columnsrepeat(auto-fit, minmax()) - Breakpoints: e.g., 1 col <768px; 2 cols 768–1024px; 3–4 cols >1024px
- Consistency: Same padding, aspect ratios across items; see card for card structure
Best Practices
| Principle | Practice |
|---|---|
| Equal hierarchy | Items compete equally; no single dominant item |
| Consistent sizing | Same card/item dimensions in grid |
| Gap consistency | Uniform gap (e.g., 16px, 24px) |
| No layout shift | Reserve space for images; avoid CLS |
Responsive
- Mobile: Single column; full-width items
- Tablet: 2 columns; touch targets ≥44×44px
- Desktop: 3–4 columns; hover states OK
Infinite Scroll
If using infinite scroll with grid: crawlers cannot access content loaded on scroll. Provide paginated component pages for SEO-critical content. See site-crawlability for search-friendly implementation.
