What it does

Subgrid is an agent skill from thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist. Use when reviewing card grid layouts with misaligned content areas, or any nested grid where child items need to align with sibling cards' corresponding sections without JavaScript intervention.

Its SKILL.md is about 540 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/rule.md`).

It works with JavaScript. The repository describes itself as: 🗂 The essential checklist for modern web development, for humans and AI agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing card grid layouts with misaligned content areas
  • Any nested grid where child items need to align with sibling cards corresponding sections without JavaScript intervention

Example prompts

  • “/subgrid”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e8d14d0. 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

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

    • frontendchecklist.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

Subgrid loads about 541 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 254 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~541
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.4k

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.

Use CSS subgrid to align nested grid items to parent tracks

Card grids are one of the most common UI patterns, but aligning content across cards — matching title heights, content areas, and footers — has historically required JavaScript height measurement or CSS hacks. Subgrid solves this at the layout engine level: nested items participate directly in the parent grid's tracks, so alignment is automatic, performant, and CSS-only.

Quick Reference

  • subgrid lets a nested grid inherit its parent grid tracks instead of creating new ones
  • Solves misaligned card titles, content, and footers across rows of cards
  • No JavaScript height matching needed — the browser handles track alignment
  • Universal support: Safari 16+, Chrome/Edge 117+, Firefox 71+

Check

Look for card grid layouts in this CSS where card content areas (titles, body text, footers) might not align across cards of different content lengths. These are candidates for subgrid.

Fix

Convert this card grid to use subgrid. Show how to set grid-template-rows on the parent grid, then apply grid-row: span N and grid-template-rows: subgrid on each card to inherit the parent tracks.

Explain

Explain how CSS subgrid works, how it differs from a nested grid, what problem it solves with card alignment, and when to use subgrid on columns versus rows.

Code Review

Review card grid and nested grid layouts in this stylesheet. Flag any layout that uses JavaScript height matching, fixed heights, or display: contents workarounds to achieve cross-card alignment — and show the subgrid equivalent.
