## What it does

The skill sets a direction for the whole interface: a near-black base, soft atmospheric light, a central stage, side shells, and pill-shaped top navigation. Dark frosted surfaces use translucent fills, backdrop blur, thin highlight edges, and soft shadows. Logs, intelligence notes, action plans, and system events can sit in floating cards around the center while the main stage stays open.

It recommends a multi-column workspace on desktop that stacks cleanly on smaller screens. The system also uses mono micro-labels, IDs, compact headings, outer rails, and corner markers. Motion may include slow card drift, small parallax, and gentle blur shifts. This matters for implementation: the skill treats glass as a full layout language across navigation, sidebars, and supporting modules, not as a card treatment alone.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill dark-glass-clean-layout -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/dark-glass-clean-layout/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/dark-glass-clean-layout/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill dark-glass-clean-layout -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**

## When to use it
- build a dark workspace console
- split a screen into central and side columns
- style data cards with frosted glass depth
- add a soft atmospheric background
- keep space around floating modules

## Example prompts
- Use the `dark-glass-clean-layout` skill to create a workspace console with left navigation, a central stage, and a right operational sidebar.
- Apply `dark-glass-clean-layout` to this interface: add dark frosted shells, thin outer rails, and floating event cards.
- Rework this screen with `dark-glass-clean-layout`, keeping the monochrome palette and a calm, open center.

# Dark Glass Clean Layout Skill

## Use When
- Create a dark glass layout system with frosted premium shells, clean multi-column workspace structure, floating data cards, and restrained atmospheric depth.

## Workflow

## Scope
- Apply this as a full design-system direction across background atmosphere, navigation, outer framing, layout columns, glass panels, floating cards, and motion.
- Use it when the interface should feel like a premium dark workspace or intelligence console built from calm glass shells and clean structural layout.
- This is not generic pastel glassmorphism and not a radial sci-fi instrument panel. The focus is a clean layout system with dark frosted depth and quiet hierarchy.

## Visual target
- Build the page on a near-black base with soft atmospheric light or blurred WebGL texture behind the interface.
- Use a centered max-width layout shell with thin vertical boundary rails, tiny corner markers, and subtle framing so the page feels housed inside a precise workspace.
- Create the main hierarchy through dark frosted shells: sidebars, top navigation pills, floating data nodes, and operational cards should all feel glassy but controlled.
- Keep the palette mostly monochrome with white, zinc, smoke gray, and charcoal. If accent color is needed, derive it from the design or use it only for small state indicators.
- Let the center stage remain visually calm and breathable, with surrounding cards and rails supporting it rather than cluttering it.

## Implementation guidance
- Prefer a multi-column workspace layout, such as left navigation, central hero or visualization stage, and right operational sidebar on desktop, then stack cleanly on smaller screens.
- Use one-pixel gradient wrappers or faint highlight edges around dark glass shells, then place darker translucent fills inside with strong backdrop blur.
- Glass surfaces should feel smoky and premium: low-opacity dark fills, crisp top-edge highlights, soft shadow falloff, and restrained internal reflections.
- Add floating supporting cards near the central stage for logs, intelligence notes, action plans, or system events, but keep their quantity limited and their spacing generous.
- Use mono micro-labels, system IDs, tiny metadata, and compact operational headings to give the glass layout technical credibility.
- Buttons, pills, and interactive rows should use clean rounded geometry, subtle hover brightening, and low-drama border emphasis instead of loud color floods.
