Maui Safe Area is an agent skill from davidortinau/maui-skills. .NET MAUI safe area and edge-to-edge layout guidance for .NET 10+. Covers SafeAreaEdges property, SafeAreaRegions enum, per-edge control, keyboard avoidance, Blazor Hybrid CSS safe areas, migration from legacy APIs, and platform-specific behavior for Android, iOS, and Mac Catalyst. USE FOR: "safe area", "edge-to-edge", "SafeAreaEdges", "SafeAreaRegions", "keyboard avoidance", "notch insets", "status bar overlap", "iOS safe area", "Android edge-to-edge", "content behind status bar". DO NOT USE FOR: general layout…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/safe-area-api.md`).

It sits in Mobile, covering Cross-platform mobile apps and Theming and dark mode. It works with .NET, iOS, Android and Blazor. The repository describes itself as: .NET MAUI skills for GitHub Copilot and Claude Code. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

SafeAreaRegions
Keyboard avoidance
Status bar overlap
Android edge-to-edge

Example prompts

“safe area”
“edge-to-edge”
“SafeAreaEdges”
“/maui-safe-area”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

Layouts default to Container, not None
SoftInput on ScrollView has no effect
Default is not None
Blazor Hybrid double-padding
iOS Shell/NavigationPage edge-to-edge

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 79bb4bf. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are xaml).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Maui Safe Area loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 164 tokens; SKILL.md has 342 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~164
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~3.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Safe Area — Gotchas & Best Practices (.NET 10+)

Breaking Changes

⚠️ .NET 9 → 10: ContentPage default changed to `None`

ContentPage now defaults to edge-to-edge (None) on all platforms. In .NET 9, Android ContentPage behaved like Container. If your Android content goes under the status bar after upgrading, add SafeAreaEdges="Container" explicitly.

xaml

<!-- ❌ .NET 10 default — content goes under status bar on Android -->
<ContentPage>

<!-- ✅ Restore .NET 9 Android behavior -->
<ContentPage SafeAreaEdges="Container">

⚠️ WindowSoftInputModeAdjust.Resize migration

If you used WindowSoftInputModeAdjust.Resize in .NET 9, you may need SafeAreaEdges="All" on the ContentPage to maintain keyboard avoidance.

Common Gotchas

1. Layouts default to `Container`, not `None`

For true edge-to-edge, set SafeAreaEdges="None" on both the page and layouts:

xaml

<!-- ❌ Grid still respects system bars (its default is Container) -->
<ContentPage SafeAreaEdges="None">
    <Grid>
        <Image Source="bg.jpg" Aspect="AspectFill" />
    </Grid>
</ContentPage>

<!-- ✅ Both page and layout set to None -->
<ContentPage SafeAreaEdges="None">
    <Grid SafeAreaEdges="None">
        <Image Source="bg.jpg" Aspect="AspectFill" />
    </Grid>
</ContentPage>

2. `SoftInput` on ScrollView has no effect

ScrollView manages its own content insets. Wrap it in a Grid/StackLayout instead:

xaml

<!-- ❌ SoftInput is ignored on ScrollView -->
<ScrollView SafeAreaEdges="SoftInput">

<!-- ✅ Set SoftInput on the wrapper layout -->
<Grid SafeAreaEdges="Container, Container, Container, SoftInput">
    <ScrollView> ... </ScrollView>
</Grid>

3. `Default` is not `None`

Default = "use platform defaults for this control type." None = "edge-to-edge." They differ significantly on ScrollView (iOS maps Default to automatic content insets).

4. Blazor Hybrid double-padding

xaml

<!-- ❌ XAML safe area + CSS env() = double padding -->
<ContentPage SafeAreaEdges="Container">
    <BlazorWebView ... />  <!-- CSS also uses env(safe-area-inset-*) -->

<!-- ✅ Pick ONE approach — CSS is recommended for Blazor -->
<ContentPage SafeAreaEdges="None">
    <BlazorWebView ... />  <!-- CSS handles all insets with env() -->

5. iOS Shell/NavigationPage edge-to-edge

Content won't extend behind the nav bar unless you set a transparent background AND hide the separator:

xaml

<Shell Shell.BackgroundColor="#80000000"
       Shell.NavBarHasShadow="False" />

Decision Framework

Scenario	SafeAreaEdges value
Forms, critical inputs	`All`
Photo viewer, video player, game	`None` (on page AND layout)
Scrollable content with fixed header/footer	`Container`
Chat/messaging with bottom input bar	Per-edge: `Container, Container, Container, SoftInput`
Blazor Hybrid app	`None` on page, CSS `env()` for insets

Show full SKILL.md (149 more words)Show less

Migration Quick Reference

Legacy (.NET 9)	New (.NET 10+)
`ios:Page.UseSafeArea="True"`	`SafeAreaEdges="Container"`
`IgnoreSafeArea="True"`	`SafeAreaEdges="None"`
`WindowSoftInputModeAdjust.Resize`	`SafeAreaEdges="All"` on ContentPage

Legacy properties still work but are obsolete.

Best Practices

Combine SafeAreaEdges with Padding — safe area handles insets, Padding adds visual spacing:

xaml

<ContentPage SafeAreaEdges="All">
    <VerticalStackLayout Padding="20">
        <!-- Both applied — no conflict -->
    </VerticalStackLayout>
</ContentPage>

Use per-control settings for mixed layouts (edge-to-edge header + safe body + keyboard-aware footer).
For Blazor Hybrid, prefer CSS env() and leave SafeAreaEdges="None". Add viewport-fit=cover to the <meta viewport> tag.
Test on notched devices (iPhone X+, Android cutouts), tablets in landscape, and varying screen sizes.

Checklist

Android upgrade: SafeAreaEdges="Container" added if content goes under status bar
Edge-to-edge: None set on both page and layout
ScrollView keyboard avoidance uses wrapper Grid, not ScrollView's own SafeAreaEdges
Blazor Hybrid: using either XAML or CSS safe areas, not both
viewport-fit=cover in Blazor's index.html <meta viewport> tag
Legacy UseSafeArea / IgnoreSafeArea migrated to SafeAreaEdges
