What it does

Floating UI is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Web and App implementation guide for Floating UI. Trigger when user wants detached cards, elevated components, and a light, airy feel.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.7k 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. 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 detached cards
  • Elevated components

Example prompts

  • “/floating-ui”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Detachment: UI elements (like nav bars, sidebars, or main content cards) do not touch the edges of the screen. They float with margins on…
  2. Soft, Diffuse Shadows: Large, highly blurred shadows directly beneath elements.
  3. Pill Shapes & Rounds: Fully rounded corners (pill shapes) enhance the floating, bubble-like aesthetic.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ec02547. 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

Floating UI loads about 2.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 355 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.7k

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.

Floating UI

"Defying gravity. Elements that hover effortlessly above the surface."

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. Detachment: UI elements (like nav bars, sidebars, or main content cards) do not touch the edges of the screen. They float with margins on all sides.
  2. Soft, Diffuse Shadows: Large, highly blurred shadows directly beneath elements.
  3. Pill Shapes & Rounds: Fully rounded corners (pill shapes) enhance the floating, bubble-like aesthetic.

Visual DNA

  • Colors: Earth-Grounded Elegance or Minimalist Slate. Use a slightly tinted background (off-white or very light gray) so the floating white elements pop.
  • Typography: Clean, airy sans-serifs with generous line height.
  • Layout: The "floating island" pattern for navigation (a pill-shaped nav bar centered at the bottom or top of the screen).

Web Implementation

  • Focus on large margins and specific shadow styles.
  • CSS Example:
css
body {
  background-color: var(--bg-primary); /* e.g., #F4F4F9 */
  padding: 24px; /* Ensure nothing touches the edge */
}

.floating-nav {
  position: fixed;
  bottom: 32px;
  left: 50%;
  transform: translateX(-50%);
  background: white;
  border-radius: 50px; /* Pill shape */
  padding: 12px 32px;
  
  /* Large, soft shadow */
  box-shadow: 0 16px 40px rgba(0,0,0,0.08);
  
  display: flex;
  gap: 24px;
}

.floating-card {
  background: white;
  border-radius: 24px;
  padding: 32px;
  margin-bottom: 24px;
  box-shadow: 0 10px 30px rgba(0,0,0,0.05);
}

App Implementation

SwiftUI
swift
struct FloatingUIView: View {
    var body: some View {
        ZStack {
            // Very light background
            Color(red: 0.95, green: 0.95, blue: 0.97).ignoresSafeArea()
            
            ScrollView {
                VStack(spacing: 24) {
                    // Floating Content Card
                    VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 12) {
                        Text("Floating Card")
                            .font(.title2).fontWeight(.bold)
                        Text("This card hovers above the background, with massive soft shadows and completely rounded corners.")
                            .foregroundColor(.secondary)
                    }
                    .padding(32)
                    .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .leading)
                    .background(Color.white)
                    .cornerRadius(32) // Very large radius
                    // Large, highly blurred shadow
                    .shadow(color: Color.black.opacity(0.05), radius: 30, x: 0, y: 15)
                    .padding(.horizontal, 24) // Keeps it detached from edges
                }
                .padding(.top, 40)
            }
            
            // Floating Pill Navigation
            VStack {
                Spacer()
                HStack(spacing: 40) {
                    Image(systemName: "house.fill").foregroundColor(.blue)
                    Image(systemName: "magnifyingglass").foregroundColor(.gray)
                    Image(systemName: "bell.fill").foregroundColor(.gray)
                    Image(systemName: "person.fill").foregroundColor(.gray)
                }
                .padding(.vertical, 16)
                .padding(.horizontal, 32)
                .background(Color.white)
                .clipShape(Capsule()) // Pill shape
                .shadow(color: Color.black.opacity(0.1), radius: 25, x: 0, y: 10)
                .padding(.bottom, 32) // Detached from bottom edge
            }
        }
    }
}
  • A .clipShape(Capsule()) with a massive .shadow() creates the perfect floating pill navigation bar.
  • Push the .shadow(radius: ...) up to 25 or 30 with a very low opacity (0.05) to get the soft, diffuse hover effect.

  • Avoid the native BottomNavigationBar. Instead, use a Stack and Align(alignment: Alignment.bottomCenter) with a Container to build the floating pill menu.
  • Use blurRadius: 30 in BoxShadow for the diffuse look.
React Native
jsx
const FloatingUIScreen = () => {
  return (
    <View style={{ flex: 1, backgroundColor: '#F4F4F9' }}>
      <ScrollView contentContainerStyle={{ padding: 24 }}>
        {/* Floating Card */}
        <View style={styles.floatingCard}>
          <Text style={{ fontSize: 24, fontWeight: 'bold', marginBottom: 12 }}>Floating Card</Text>
          <Text style={{ color: '#666' }}>This card hovers above the background, detached from all edges.</Text>
        </View>
      </ScrollView>

      {/* Floating Pill Nav */}
      <View style={styles.floatingNav}>
        <Text style={{ fontSize: 20 }}>🏠</Text>
        <Text style={{ fontSize: 20, opacity: 0.5 }}>🔍</Text>
        <Text style={{ fontSize: 20, opacity: 0.5 }}>👤</Text>
      </View>
    </View>
  );
};

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  floatingCard: {
    backgroundColor: '#FFF',
    borderRadius: 32,
    padding: 32,
    marginBottom: 24,
    // iOS shadow
    shadowColor: '#000',
    shadowOffset: { width: 0, height: 15 },
    shadowOpacity: 0.05,
    shadowRadius: 30,
    // Android shadow
    elevation: 8,
  },
  floatingNav: {
    position: 'absolute',
    bottom: 40,
    alignSelf: 'center',
    flexDirection: 'row',
    backgroundColor: '#FFF',
    borderRadius: 50,
    paddingVertical: 16,
    paddingHorizontal: 32,
    gap: 40, // Needs RN 0.71+
    
    shadowColor: '#000',
    shadowOffset: { width: 0, height: 10 },
    shadowOpacity: 0.1,
    shadowRadius: 25,
    elevation: 10,
  }
});
  • position: 'absolute' with alignSelf: 'center' is the easiest way to place the pill nav in React Native.
  • Android's elevation doesn't support massive blur radii very well, so the effect is stronger and softer on iOS.
Jetpack Compose
kotlin
@Composable
fun FloatingUIScreen() {
    Box(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize().background(Color(0xFFF4F4F9))) {
        Column(
            modifier = Modifier
                .fillMaxSize()
                .padding(24.dp)
        ) {
            // Floating Card
            Box(
                modifier = Modifier
                    .fillMaxWidth()
                    .shadow(15.dp, RoundedCornerShape(32.dp), spotColor = Color.Black.copy(alpha = 0.05f))
                    .background(Color.White, RoundedCornerShape(32.dp))
                    .padding(32.dp)
            ) {
                Column {
                    Text("Floating Card", fontSize = 24.sp, fontWeight = FontWeight.Bold)
                    Spacer(Modifier.height(12.dp))
                    Text("This card hovers above the background.", color = Color.Gray)
                }
            }
        }
        
        // Floating Pill Nav
        Row(
            modifier = Modifier
                .align(Alignment.BottomCenter)
                .padding(bottom = 32.dp)
                .shadow(20.dp, CircleShape, spotColor = Color.Black.copy(alpha = 0.1f))
                .background(Color.White, CircleShape)
                .padding(horizontal = 32.dp, vertical = 16.dp),
            horizontalArrangement = Arrangement.spacedBy(40.dp)
        ) {
            Icon(Icons.Default.Home, contentDescription = null, tint = Color.Blue)
            Icon(Icons.Default.Search, contentDescription = null, tint = Color.Gray)
            Icon(Icons.Default.Person, contentDescription = null, tint = Color.Gray)
        }
    }
}
  • Use CircleShape for the pill nav background.
  • Crucially, lower the alpha of the spotColor in Modifier.shadow to achieve the soft, diffuse shadow look, otherwise Compose defaults to a harsh, dark shadow.

Do's and Don'ts

  • DO: Animate floating elements! A slow, continuous 2px up/down translateY animation makes them feel truly buoyant.
  • DON'T: Pin elements to the screen edges (except perhaps background images).

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.
