## What it does

The skill tells the agent to build pages out of nested shells. A centered outer container sets the page bounds with vertical rails and small corner squares. Inside it sit dark rounded feature zones, and inside those, smaller cards and content panels. Hierarchy comes from containers within containers instead of flat page sections.

It reads as a written brief the agent follows before writing markup. The file covers the visual target, implementation guidance, recommended patterns and a list of things to avoid. Tuning knobs are spelled out too: nesting depth, contrast balance between shell and inset blocks, corner radius, accent strength and container density. The accent color is meant for pills, buttons and active dots only.

Scope is the whole page: shell, section framing, cards, pricing blocks and call-to-action areas. If your project already runs a flat card-grid design system, this skill fights it, because it reorganizes the composition around layered shells. Motion stays minimal — masked text reveals, calm fade-ins and light hover transitions.

## When to use it
- build an agency landing page with clear container hierarchy
- nest a dark pricing block inside a light editorial page
- make premium cards with gradient borders and soft shadows
- keep the accent color on buttons and labels only
- set a consistent spacing rhythm between shell levels

## Example prompts
- Build the landing page with the nested-container-clean-agency skill: outer shell with rails, dark pricing block inside
- Rework the services section into nested containers and keep the accent color on buttons only
- Add corner markers and vertical page rails the way this skill describes

# Nested Container Clean Agency Skill

## Use When
- Create a clean agency design system built from nested containers, with an outer editorial shell, inset dark feature blocks, rounded premium cards, and restrained accent color.

## Workflow

## Scope
- Apply this as a full design-system direction across page shell, section framing, cards, pricing blocks, call-to-action areas, and layout rhythm.
- Use it when the interface should feel clean, premium, and agency-led, with strong container hierarchy instead of flat page sections.
- This is not generic card-grid SaaS and not only a framing utility. The whole composition should be organized through nested shells and inset feature blocks.

## Visual target
- Start with a centered outer page container that defines the main boundaries of the design with visible vertical rails, corner squares, or light frame lines.
- Inside that outer shell, place one or more inset containers with contrasting surfaces, especially dark rounded feature zones nested within a light editorial page.
- Build hierarchy by stacking containers inside containers: outer shell, inner dark section, then smaller rounded cards or content panels inside that section.
- Keep typography clean, modern, and agency-like, with confident headlines, restrained body copy, and minimal UI noise.
- Use a soft accent color sparingly for pills, buttons, active dots, subtle gradients, and call-to-action emphasis rather than saturating the full layout.

## Implementation guidance
- Prefer a max-width outer wrapper with consistent side padding, vertical boundary lines, and tiny corner markers to establish the global frame.
- Use nested rounded containers to create depth: a darker major block inside the page, then lighter or darker cards inset within it depending on contrast needs.
- Maintain generous whitespace between nested layers so each shell feels intentional and breathable.
- Use border gradients, low-contrast strokes, and soft shadows to separate layers instead of heavy outlines everywhere.
