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.

What this skill does


# 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 when | Use grid when |
|---------------|---------------|
| Text-heavy; scan by title | Visual content; equal emphasis |
| Many items; compact display | Fewer items; browsing |
| Blog index, docs, search results | Products, templates, gallery |
| F-pattern reading (top-left, left column) | Discovery, exploration |

See **grid** for grid layout; **card** for card structure.

## List Structure

| Element | Purpose |
|---------|---------|
| **Items** | Single column; stacked vertically |
| **Per item** | Title, optional metadata (date, author), excerpt, link |
| **Spacing** | Consistent gaps; dividers or alternating background |
| **Density** | Compact (docs) vs relaxed (blog) |

## List Variants

| Variant | Use |
|---------|-----|
| **Simple list** | Title + link; minimal (nav, TOC) |
| **Rich list** | Title, excerpt, date, author | Blog index |
| **Table-like** | Columns for metadata (date, status) | Docs, admin |
| **With thumbnail** | Small image + text | Blog with thumbnails |

## Best Practices

| Principle | Practice |
|-----------|----------|
| **Scannable** | Clear titles; consistent hierarchy |
| **Compact** | Less vertical space than grid |
| **Link area** | Full row or title clickable |
| **Metadata** | Date, 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

- **carousel**: Carousel for slides; when list is too long for space
- **card**: Card in list (e.g., blog with thumbnail)
- **toc-generator**: TOC as list; jump links
- **blog-page-generator**: Blog index list
- **article-page-generator**: Article list format
- **docs-page-generator**: Documentation list

contribute

Included

Local-only OSS contribution command center. Auto-refreshes the user's in-flight PR and issue state on invoke so conversations start with full context — no need to brief Claude on what's in flight. Helps the user find issues to contribute to on GitHub, builds per-repo dossiers of what each upstream expects (CLA, DCO, branch convention, AI policy, draft-first, review bots, issue templates), runs deterministic gates before any external action so AI-assisted contributions don't reach maintainers as slop. State is markdown-only: candidate files at ~/.contribute-system/candidates/, repo dossiers at ~/.contribute-system/research/, append-only event log at ~/.contribute-system/log.jsonl. No database, no cloud calls. Use when the user asks about their PRs / issues / contributions, wants to find new work to take on, claim an issue, build/refresh a repo's dossier, or draft a Design Issue or PR. Trigger with "/contribute", "what's my PR status", "find a contribution", "claim issue X", "draft a Design Issue for Y", "refresh dossier for Z".

architectural-analysis

Included

User-triggered deep architectural analysis of a codebase or scoped subtree across eight modes — information architecture, data flow, integration points, UI surfaces, interaction patterns, data model, control flow, and failure modes. This skill should be used when the user asks to "diagram this codebase," "map the architecture," "show the data flow," "give me an ERD," "trace control flow," "find the integration points," "verify the layout pattern," "audit the UX architecture," or any similar request whose primary deliverable is mermaid diagrams plus cited reports under docs/architecture/. Dispatches haiku/sonnet sub-agents in parallel for per-mode exploration, then verifies every citation mechanically before any node lands in a diagram. Not for one-off prose explanations of code (use code-explanation) or for high-level system design from scratch (use system-design).

react-native-skia

Included

Design, build, debug, and optimise high-polish animated graphics in React Native or Expo using @shopify/react-native-skia, Reanimated, and Gesture Handler. Use when the user wants canvas-driven UI, shaders, paths, rich text, image filters, sprite fields, Skottie, video frames, snapshots, web CanvasKit setup, or performance tuning for custom motion-heavy elements such as loaders, hero art, cards, charts, progress indicators, particle systems, or gesture-driven surfaces. Also use when the user asks for fluid, glow, glass, blob, parallax, 60fps/120fps, or GPU-friendly animated effects in React Native, even if they do not explicitly say "Skia". Do not use for ordinary form/layout work with standard views.
