What it does
This skill teaches an AI agent a specific web layout technique: an outer centered container with thin vertical boundary lines and corner markers, with inner blocks inset from its edges, each having its own background, border and rounded corners. When you ask for a page in this style, the agent follows these steps so the hero, features, proof and call-to-action sections are separated by layered frames rather than heavy stacked cards. It also includes guardrails against boxing content in too many cards and against frame lines that compete with readability.
Great for
- Front-end developers who want a structured, framed page look for a landing page or marketing site
- Designers prototyping a technical or editorial style layout and handing it to a developer
- Anyone asking an AI agent to build a page with a clear grid-like, bordered aesthetic
Skip it if
- Simple pages or apps where a plain layout is enough; the skill adds visual structure that may not suit the project
- Projects with an established design system that must be followed exactly, since this technique may conflict with it
- Situations needing accessibility-tested output; the skill covers visual styling only and says nothing about accessibility checks
Try asking
- “Build a landing page for my SaaS product using nested container frames with visible boundary lines”
- “Create a feature section where each block sits inside an inset rounded frame within a centered outer container”
- “Redesign this homepage hero, features and CTA using layered frames instead of stacked cards”

Ask for the task
No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.
Get better results
- Name the sections you want (hero, features, proof, CTA) so the agent can map them onto the frame hierarchy
- Say the target width or breakpoints for the outer container, since the skill defines the global page width but not specific values
- Review the demo/index.html file to see the intended visual result before asking for a full build
