What it does

CSS Border Gradient is an agent skill from boraoztunc/skills. Apply subtle gradient-border treatments for premium web surfaces. Use when cards, pricing panels, nav bars, modals, buttons, or hero surfaces need a refined edge highlight without a loud glow.

Its SKILL.md is about 870 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering CSS and styling. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code skills for copywriting, SEO, design, and more. The licence is Apache-2.0.

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

CSS Border Gradient loads about 865 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 282 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~865

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: Apply subtle gradient-border treatments for premium web surfaces. Use when cards, pricing panels, nav bars, modals, buttons, or hero surfaces need a refined edge highlight without a loud glow.

Border Gradients

Use When

A surface needs a more premium edge than a flat border.
Dark glass, pricing, hero, modal, or feature-card UI feels too plain.
A hover or focus state needs a quiet brand accent.

Defaults

Width: 1px; use 2px only for large hero cards or active states.
Radius: inherit the parent radius.
Angle: 135deg or 160deg.
Stops: neutral highlight, one brand accent, neutral fade.
Opacity: keep most stops below 0.4; subtle beats shiny.

Simple CSS Pattern

Use this when the surface has a solid or translucent fill.

css

.gradient-border {
  --surface: rgba(10, 14, 24, 0.72);
  --border-a: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.34);
  --border-b: rgba(125, 92, 255, 0.36);
  --border-c: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.08);

  border: 1px solid transparent;
  border-radius: 20px;
  background:
    linear-gradient(var(--surface), var(--surface)) padding-box,
    linear-gradient(135deg, var(--border-a), var(--border-b), var(--border-c)) border-box;
}

html

<div class="gradient-border">
  ...
</div>

Masked Pattern

Use this when the surface already has a complex background that should not be overwritten.

css

.gradient-border-mask {
  position: relative;
  border-radius: 20px;
}

.gradient-border-mask::before {
  content: "";
  position: absolute;
  inset: 0;
  border-radius: inherit;
  padding: 1px;
  background: linear-gradient(
    145deg,
    rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.34),
    rgba(125, 92, 255, 0.36) 45%,
    rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.08)
  );
  -webkit-mask:
    linear-gradient(#fff 0 0) content-box,
    linear-gradient(#fff 0 0);
  mask:
    linear-gradient(#fff 0 0) content-box,
    linear-gradient(#fff 0 0);
  -webkit-mask-composite: xor;
  mask-composite: exclude;
  pointer-events: none;
}

Both mask and -webkit-mask are required. mask-composite: exclude needs mask layers declared on the unprefixed property to have anything to composite — ship only -webkit-mask and spec-compliant engines get no mask at all, so the ::before renders as a solid rectangle covering the whole surface. The two composite keywords are not interchangeable either: WebKit's legacy property takes xor, the standard property takes exclude.

Tailwind Shortcut

Use arbitrary properties for one-off surfaces.

html

<div class="rounded-2xl border border-transparent [background:linear-gradient(rgba(10,14,24,.72),rgba(10,14,24,.72))_padding-box,linear-gradient(135deg,rgba(255,255,255,.34),rgba(125,92,255,.36),rgba(255,255,255,.08))_border-box]">
  ...
</div>

Taste Rules

Apply to one hierarchy level at a time: primary card, active tab, selected plan, or hero panel.
Do not use rainbow borders, full-saturation neon, or animated gradients by default.
Keep the border quieter than the content. It should frame, not compete.
Pair with restrained depth: a soft shadow or inner highlight is enough.
Check light and dark themes separately; the same alpha rarely works for both.

Quick Checks

No double border from an existing border-color.
Radius matches the surface exactly.
The gradient is visible at normal zoom but barely noticeable when scanning.
Focus states remain accessible and do not rely only on the gradient.
