What it does

Container Lines is an agent skill from boraoztunc/skills. Add vertical container-size guide lines with mini corner squares for precise, structured web layouts. Use when asked for container lines, measured layout guides, vertical boundary lines, editorial grid markers, or small corner-square frame details.

Its SKILL.md is about 900 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Claude Code skills for copywriting, SEO, design, and more. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked for container lines
  • Measured layout guides
  • Vertical boundary lines
  • Editorial grid markers

Example prompts

  • “/container-lines”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Draw lines at the left and right edges of the main content container.
  2. Keep lines thin: 1px with low opacity.
  3. Add mini squares at container corners or section intersections.
  4. Keep the line system consistent across sections; do not change width per section.
  5. Place lines behind content but above the page background.
  6. Disable pointer events so the guides never block UI.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 645553c. 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 css and html).

    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

Container Lines loads about 903 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 261 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~903

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.

description
Add vertical container-size guide lines with mini corner squares for precise, structured web layouts. Use when asked for container lines, measured layout guides, vertical boundary lines, editorial grid markers, or small corner-square frame details.

Container Lines

Use When

  • A page needs subtle vertical guides that reveal the content container width.
  • A hero, section, or product page feels too loose and needs structural tension.
  • The design calls for mini corner squares, measured edges, or quiet technical framing.

Rules

  1. Draw lines at the left and right edges of the main content container.
  2. Keep lines thin: 1px with low opacity.
  3. Add mini squares at container corners or section intersections.
  4. Keep the line system consistent across sections; do not change width per section.
  5. Place lines behind content but above the page background.
  6. Disable pointer events so the guides never block UI.

Base Tokens

css
:root {
  --container-max: 1120px;
  --container-pad: clamp(20px, 4vw, 48px);
  --line-color: rgba(24, 24, 27, 0.14);
  --line-strong: rgba(24, 24, 27, 0.28);
  --corner-size: 6px;
}

Page Container Lines

Use pseudo-elements on the layout shell.

css
.container-lines {
  position: relative;
  isolation: isolate;
}

.container-lines::before,
.container-lines::after {
  content: "";
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  z-index: -1;
  width: 1px;
  background: var(--line-color);
  pointer-events: none;
}

.container-lines::before {
  left: max(var(--container-pad), calc((100% - var(--container-max)) / 2));
}

.container-lines::after {
  right: max(var(--container-pad), calc((100% - var(--container-max)) / 2));
}

Corner Squares

Add four small squares to sections that need a precise measured feel.

css
.corner-squares {
  position: relative;
}

.corner-squares > .corner {
  position: absolute;
  width: var(--corner-size);
  height: var(--corner-size);
  background: var(--line-strong);
  pointer-events: none;
}

.corner.top-left { top: 0; left: 0; transform: translate(-50%, -50%); }
.corner.top-right { top: 0; right: 0; transform: translate(50%, -50%); }
.corner.bottom-left { bottom: 0; left: 0; transform: translate(-50%, 50%); }
.corner.bottom-right { right: 0; bottom: 0; transform: translate(50%, 50%); }
html
<main class="container-lines">
  <section class="corner-squares">
    <span class="corner top-left"></span>
    <span class="corner top-right"></span>
    <span class="corner bottom-left"></span>
    <span class="corner bottom-right"></span>
    ...
  </section>
</main>

Minimal Section Wrapper

Use the same container width as the line positions.

css
.content-container {
  width: min(100% - (var(--container-pad) * 2), var(--container-max));
  margin-inline: auto;
}

Taste Rules

  • Use lines as structure, not decoration. They should organize the page quietly.
  • Do not add lines to every nested component; keep them at page or major-section level.
  • Mini squares should be small and exact, usually 4px to 8px.
  • Avoid bright accent colors unless the entire visual system is technical or industrial.
  • Keep container max-width and padding shared between content and guide lines.

Quick Checks

  • The vertical lines align exactly with the content container edges.
  • Corner squares sit on real container or section corners, not arbitrary positions.
  • Lines remain subtle on light and dark backgrounds.
  • Mobile still has enough padding between the line and content.
  • Guides do not intercept clicks, hovers, or text selection.
