What nested-container-frames does

This skill guides layout generation through a five-step container-in-container workflow. An outer centered container controls global page width, bounded by visible vertical guide lines and corner markers.

Inner containers sit inset from the perimeter with dedicated padding, custom background colors, and rounded borders. This hierarchy separates hero blocks, feature lists, social proof, and call-to-action sections without piling up heavy cards.

Layout guardrails prevent common design mistakes here. Over-nesting cards will quickly box in the layout, and thick boundary lines risk hurting text readability.

What it helps with

  • structure web layouts with nested container frames
  • add visible boundary lines and corner markers to outer bounds
  • separate page modules without stacking heavy card components
  • maintain consistent inset padding and border radii across frame levels

Example prompts for the agent

  • Build a hero section and feature grid using nested-container-frames
  • Structure this landing page with outer boundary lines and inset frames via nested-container-frames
  • Refactor our page layout to use nested-container-frames instead of heavy card blocks

Run npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill nested-container-frames -a claude-code.

What does the nested-container-frames skill do?

It instructs the agent to create a layered container-in-container system. The outer container sets boundaries and corner markers, while inner blocks handle content with distinct backgrounds and paddings.

What design guardrails are included in nested-container-frames?

It explicitly restricts nesting cards inside cards until the design feels boxed in. It also warns against aggressive frame lines that distract from reading content.

name: nested-container-frames
description: "Create a container-in-container layout system using nested frames. Use an outer centered container with visible vertical boundary lines and corner markers. Inside, place inner containers inset from the edges, each with its own background and rounded frame. Technique: outer container defines global bounds, inner containers use padding to create inset spacing, layered frames (border + background) to separate levels, and consistent spacing between outer frame and inner blocks."

# Nested Container Frames Skill

## Use When
- A layout needs a container-in-container system with visible outer bounds, inset inner frames, and layered page structure.

## Workflow
1. Define an outer centered container that controls the global page width.
2. Add visible vertical boundary lines and small corner markers to establish the frame.
3. Place inner containers inset from the outer edges using consistent padding.
4. Give each inner level its own background, border, radius, and spacing rhythm.
5. Use the frame hierarchy to separate hero, feature, proof, and CTA modules without adding heavy cards.

## Guardrails
- Do not nest cards inside cards until the layout feels boxed in.
- Do not let frame lines overpower content readability.
