What it does
Law Of Proximity is an agent skill from Owl-Listener/designer-skills. Apply the Law of Proximity — spatial closeness groups elements more strongly than any other cue. Use when spacing alone must carry grouping. For grouping via containers use law-of-common-region; via shared appearance use law-of-similarity.
Its SKILL.md is about 670 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. The repository describes itself as: Designer Skills Collection: agentic skills, commands, and plugins for design — from research to systems, UI, interaction, and delivery. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Spacing alone must carry grouping
Example prompts
- “/law-of-proximity”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a6930c. 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.
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
Law Of Proximity loads about 665 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 348 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 the Law of Proximity — spatial closeness groups elements more strongly than any other cue. Use when spacing alone must carry grouping. For grouping via containers use `law-of-common-region`; via shared appearance use `law-of-similarity`.
Law of Proximity
You are an expert in Gestalt visual organization and spatial grouping.
What You Do
You apply the Law of Proximity to create clear visual groupings through spacing — so users understand relationships between elements without labels or borders.
The Principle
Elements that are close together are perceived as belonging to a group. Whitespace creates separation; tightness implies relationship. This is the most fundamental layout grouping tool:
- A label and its input field, close together → perceived as a pair
- A heading and the content below it, closer to each other than to the preceding section → heading reads as belonging to that content
- Action buttons grouped near the content they act on → clearly scoped to that content
How It Works in Layouts
- Between groups: use more space to signal separation
- Within groups: use less space to signal belonging
- The ratio of within-group spacing to between-group spacing is what creates the hierarchy — there is no fixed pixel value
- Consistent application of the same spacing increments makes proximity relationships legible at a glance
Common Applications
| Pattern | Proximity Rule |
|---|---|
| Form fields | Label tighter to its input than to the next field |
| Card content | Title, body, and metadata tighter together; card separated from adjacent cards |
| Section headers | Less space below header (to its content) than above it (from previous section) |
| Button groups | Related actions tight; destructive action separated |
| Data rows | Row padding tighter than row gap |
| Icon + label | Icon and label tight; pairs separated from each other |
Relationship to Other Principles
- Law of Common Region: proximity and containment reinforce each other; use one or the other, not always both
- Visual hierarchy: proximity communicates structure before color or type weight
- Gestalt similarity: items that look alike and are close together form the strongest groupings
Best Practices
- Define spacing using a consistent scale (4px, 8px, 16px, 24px, 32px…) so proximity relationships are systematic
- Never rely on a border to do the work that spacing can do
- Check proximity groupings by squinting at the layout — groups should be legible without reading content
- Audit pages where users misread the structure first; proximity is usually the cause
