Marketing-skills list

When the user wants to design, optimize, or audit list layouts for content display. Also use when the user mentions "list layout," "list design," "vertical list," "stacked list," "blog list," "article list," "documentation list," "search results layout," or "infinite scroll list." For blog index page, use blog-page-generator.

Components: List Layout

Guides list layout design for linear, stacked content display. Lists are compact, text-heavy; users scan by title or metadata. Used for blog indexes, documentation, search results, and dense content.

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 List

Use list whenUse grid when
Text-heavy; scan by titleVisual content; equal emphasis
Many items; compact displayFewer items; browsing
Blog index, docs, search resultsProducts, templates, gallery
F-pattern reading (top-left, left column)Discovery, exploration

See grid for grid layout; card for card structure.

List Structure

ElementPurpose
ItemsSingle column; stacked vertically
Per itemTitle, optional metadata (date, author), excerpt, link
SpacingConsistent gaps; dividers or alternating background
DensityCompact (docs) vs relaxed (blog)

List Variants

VariantUse
Simple listTitle + link; minimal (nav, TOC)
Rich listTitle, excerpt, date, author
Table-likeColumns for metadata (date, status)
With thumbnailSmall image + text

Best Practices

PrinciplePractice
ScannableClear titles; consistent hierarchy
CompactLess vertical space than grid
Link areaFull row or title clickable
MetadataDate, author, category; secondary styling

F-Pattern

Users read top-left first, then scan left column. Place primary content (titles) left-aligned; metadata secondary.

Infinite Scroll

If using infinite scroll for list (e.g., blog index, search results): crawlers cannot access content loaded on scroll. Provide paginated component pages or use traditional pagination for SEO-critical content. See site-crawlability for search-friendly infinite scroll implementation.

Responsive

  • Mobile: Single column; full-width items
  • Touch targets: ≥44×44px for touchable rows
  • Truncation: Long titles; ellipsis or wrap by design
