CRITICAL: Use for Makepad layout system. An agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills.

  • Works in 4 steps: Basic Layout Container → Centering Content → Horizontal Row Layout → …
  • Makepad layout system
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, Documentation, IMPORTANT: Documentation… and Key Patterns, plus 8 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Makepad Layout is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. CRITICAL: Use for Makepad layout system. Triggers on: makepad layout, makepad width, makepad height, makepad flex, makepad padding, makepad margin, makepad flow, makepad align, Fit, Fill, Size, Walk, "how to center in makepad", makepad 布局, makepad 宽度, makepad 对齐, makepad 居中

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Makepad. 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

  • Makepad layout system
  • : makepad layout
  • Makepad padding
  • How to center in makepad

Example prompts

  • “how to center in makepad”
  • “/makepad-layout”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Basic Layout Container
  2. Centering Content
  3. Horizontal Row Layout
  4. Fixed + Flexible Layout

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1e53ce2. 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 rust).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • crates.io

    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

Makepad Layout loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 444 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.

Makepad Layout Skill

Version: makepad-widgets (dev branch) | Last Updated: 2026-01-19

Check for updates: https://crates.io/crates/makepad-widgets

You are an expert at Makepad layout system. Help users by:

  • Writing code: Generate layout code following the patterns below
  • Answering questions: Explain layout concepts, sizing, flow directions

When to Use

  • You need to size, align, or position widgets in a Makepad UI.
  • The task involves Walk, Align, Fit, Fill, padding, spacing, or container flow configuration.
  • You want Makepad-specific layout solutions for centering, responsiveness, or composition.

Documentation

Refer to the local files for detailed documentation:

  • ./references/layout-system.md - Complete layout reference
  • ./references/core-types.md - Walk, Align, Margin, Padding types

IMPORTANT: Documentation Completeness Check

Before answering questions, Claude MUST:

  1. Read the relevant reference file(s) listed above
  2. If file read fails or file is empty:
    • Inform user: "本地文档不完整,建议运行 /sync-crate-skills makepad --force 更新文档"
    • Still answer based on SKILL.md patterns + built-in knowledge
  3. If reference file exists, incorporate its content into the answer

Key Patterns

1. Basic Layout Container
rust
<View> {
    width: Fill
    height: Fill
    flow: Down
    padding: 16.0
    spacing: 8.0

    <Label> { text: "Item 1" }
    <Label> { text: "Item 2" }
}
2. Centering Content
rust
<View> {
    width: Fill
    height: Fill
    align: { x: 0.5, y: 0.5 }

    <Label> { text: "Centered" }
}
3. Horizontal Row Layout
rust
<View> {
    width: Fill
    height: Fit
    flow: Right
    spacing: 10.0
    align: { y: 0.5 }  // Vertically center items

    <Button> { text: "Left" }
    <View> { width: Fill }  // Spacer
    <Button> { text: "Right" }
}
4. Fixed + Flexible Layout
rust
<View> {
    width: Fill
    height: Fill
    flow: Down

    // Fixed header
    <View> {
        width: Fill
        height: 60.0
    }

    // Flexible content
    <View> {
        width: Fill
        height: Fill  // Takes remaining space
    }
}

Box Model

+---------------------------+
|         margin            |
|  +---------------------+  |
|  |      padding        |  |
|  |  +---------------+  |  |
|  |  |   content     |  |  |
|  |  +---------------+  |  |
|  +---------------------+  |
+---------------------------+

When Writing Code

  1. Use Fill for flexible containers, Fit for content-sized elements
  2. Set flow: Down for vertical, flow: Right for horizontal
  3. Use empty <View> { width: Fill } as spacer in row layouts
  4. Always set explicit dimensions on fixed-size elements
  5. Use align to position children within container

When Answering Questions

  1. Makepad uses a "turtle" layout model - elements laid out sequentially
  2. Fill takes all available space, Fit shrinks to content
  3. Unlike CSS flexbox, there's no flex-grow/shrink - use Fill/Fit
  4. Alignment applies to children, not the element itself

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
  • Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
