What it does

Card Based Design is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Web and App implementation guide for Card-Based Design. Trigger when user wants information cards, Pinterest-style layouts, and bite-sized content containers.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k 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 Mobile, covering Cross-platform mobile apps. It works with Pinterest. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • User wants information cards
  • Pinterest-style layouts
  • Bite-sized content containers

Example prompts

  • “/card-based-design”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Encapsulation: Every card is self-contained. It has an image, a title, a short description, and usually an action (like a button or a…
  2. Responsive Flow: Cards easily reflow on different screen sizes (from a 4-column grid on desktop to a single column on mobile).
  3. Clear Boundaries: Cards must visually pop off the background.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 680176d. 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, swift, dart, javascript and kotlin).

    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

Card Based Design loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 375 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k

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.

Card-Based Design

"Bite-sized consumption. Encapsulating discrete pieces of information into distinct visual containers."

When to Use

Use this sub-style when the user's request matches the aesthetic described above. This is a child reference of the design-it skill and is not meant to be triggered directly.

Core Principles

  1. Encapsulation: Every card is self-contained. It has an image, a title, a short description, and usually an action (like a button or a 'like' icon).
  2. Responsive Flow: Cards easily reflow on different screen sizes (from a 4-column grid on desktop to a single column on mobile).
  3. Clear Boundaries: Cards must visually pop off the background.

Visual DNA

  • Colors: Very flexible. The background should be slightly darker or distinct from the card color. Sophisticated Neutral works well for a premium feel.
  • Typography: Clear hierarchy within the card (Header, Subheader, Body).
  • Styling: Standard border-radius: 8px and a medium drop shadow.

Web Implementation

  • CSS Grid with auto-fit or a Masonry layout.
  • CSS Example:
css
body {
  background-color: #f0f2f5; /* Standard app background */
  padding: 40px;
}

.card-grid {
  display: grid;
  /* Auto-responsive magic */
  grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(300px, 1fr));
  gap: 24px;
}

.card {
  background: #ffffff;
  border-radius: 12px;
  overflow: hidden; /* Keep images inside the rounded corners */
  box-shadow: 0 4px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.08);
  transition: transform 0.2s, box-shadow 0.2s;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
}

.card:hover {
  transform: translateY(-4px);
  box-shadow: 0 8px 24px rgba(0,0,0,0.12);
}

.card-image {
  width: 100%;
  height: 200px;
  object-fit: cover;
  border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;
}

.card-content {
  padding: 20px;
  flex-grow: 1; /* Pushes footer to the bottom */
}

.card-footer {
  padding: 16px 20px;
  border-top: 1px solid #eee;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-between;
}

App Implementation

SwiftUI
swift
struct ContentCard: View {
    var body: some View {
        VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 0) {
            // Image Area
            Rectangle()
                .fill(Color.gray.opacity(0.2))
                .frame(height: 160)
            
            // Content Area
            VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 8) {
                Text("Card Title")
                    .font(.headline)
                Text("A brief description of the content inside this discrete card container.")
                    .font(.subheadline)
                    .foregroundColor(.secondary)
                    .lineLimit(2)
            }
            .padding(16)
        }
        .background(Color.white)
        .cornerRadius(12)
        // Clean, subtle drop shadow
        .shadow(color: Color.black.opacity(0.08), radius: 12, x: 0, y: 4)
    }
}

// In your view:
// LazyVGrid(columns: [GridItem(.adaptive(minimum: 160), spacing: 16)]) { ... }
  • VStack inside a background with .cornerRadius and .shadow is the standard.
  • Use LazyVGrid with .adaptive(minimum: 160) to automatically create a multi-column card grid that flows perfectly on iPad or iPhone.
Flutter
dart
class ContentCard extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Card(
      elevation: 4, // Handles shadow natively
      shadowColor: Colors.black.withOpacity(0.4),
      shape: RoundedRectangleBorder(borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(12)),
      clipBehavior: Clip.antiAlias, // Critical: stops images from bleeding over corners
      child: Column(
        crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
        mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
        children: [
          // Image Area
          Container(
            height: 160,
            color: Colors.grey[300],
            width: double.infinity,
          ),
          // Content Area
          Padding(
            padding: const EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
            child: Column(
              crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
              children: const [
                Text('Card Title', style: TextStyle(fontWeight: FontWeight.bold, fontSize: 18)),
                SizedBox(height: 8),
                Text(
                  'A brief description of the content inside this discrete card container.',
                  style: TextStyle(color: Colors.black54),
                  maxLines: 2,
                  overflow: TextOverflow.ellipsis,
                ),
              ],
            ),
          ),
        ],
      ),
    );
  }
}
// In your view: Use GridView.builder for the layout
  • The native Card widget does almost all the heavy lifting.
  • Critical fix: You must set clipBehavior: Clip.antiAlias on the Card, otherwise the top corners of your images will peek outside the border radius.

});
// In your view: <FlatList numColumns={2} data={data} renderItem={...} />
  • Wrap everything in a View with borderRadius and overflow: 'hidden'.
  • elevation: 4 provides the drop shadow on Android, while the shadow* props handle iOS.
  • For a Pinterest/Masonry style (columns of different heights), you must use a third-party library like react-native-masonry-list, as FlatList cannot do varying row heights in columns.
Jetpack Compose
kotlin
@Composable
fun ContentCard() {
    // ElevatedCard provides the shadow and shape natively
    ElevatedCard(
        elevation = CardDefaults.elevatedCardElevation(defaultElevation = 4.dp),
        shape = RoundedCornerShape(12.dp),
        colors = CardDefaults.elevatedCardColors(containerColor = Color.White),
        modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth().padding(8.dp)
    ) {
        Column {
            // Image Area
            Box(
                modifier = Modifier
                    .fillMaxWidth()
                    .height(160.dp)
                    .background(Color.LightGray)
            )
            
            // Content Area
            Column(modifier = Modifier.padding(16.dp)) {
                Text(
                    text = "Card Title",
                    style = MaterialTheme.typography.titleMedium,
                    fontWeight = FontWeight.Bold
                )
                Spacer(Modifier.height(8.dp))
                Text(
                    text = "A brief description of the content inside this discrete card container.",
                    style = MaterialTheme.typography.bodyMedium,
                    color = Color.Gray,
                    maxLines = 2,
                    overflow = TextOverflow.Ellipsis
                )
            }
        }
    }
}
// In your view: LazyVerticalGrid(columns = GridCells.Adaptive(minSize = 160.dp)) { ... }
  • ElevatedCard is the perfect Material 3 component for this. It handles clipping and shadows automatically.
  • Use GridCells.Adaptive(minSize = 160.dp) in a LazyVerticalGrid to achieve an auto-flowing grid identical to CSS Grid auto-fit.

Do's and Don'ts

  • DO: Make the entire card clickable, not just the title or image.
  • DON'T: Put too much text in a card. If the user has to scroll within a card, the card is too big.

Limitations

  • This is a styling reference and does not replace environment-specific validation, accessibility testing, or expert review.
  • Ensure appropriate contrast ratios and responsive behaviors are verified separately.
