grid

When the user wants to design, optimize, or audit grid layouts for content display. Also use when the user mentions "grid layout," "grid design," "multi-column grid," "CSS grid," "responsive grid," "card grid," "product grid," or "feature grid." For cards layout, use card.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by kostja94 on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Grid AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/kostja94/marketing-skills.git /tmp/marketing-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/marketing-skills/skills/components/layout/grid .claude/skills/grid

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Grid in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Grid on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Grid is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Components: Grid Layout

Guides grid layout design for equal-hierarchy, multi-column content display. Grids display multiple items with equal emphasis; space-efficient and scannable. Used for products, templates, tools, features, blog indexes, and galleries.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

When to Use Grid

Use grid when	Use list when
Visual content (images, thumbnails)	Text-heavy; scan by title
Equal emphasis across items	Compact; many items; dense info
Products, templates, gallery, features	Blog index, docs, search results
Browsing, discovery	Reading, scanning

See list for list layout; card for card structure within grid.

Grid Structure

Element	Purpose
Columns	1–4+ columns; adapt to viewport
Gap	Consistent spacing between items
Items	Equal or proportional sizing
Responsive	1 col mobile → 2–4 cols desktop

Implementation

CSS Grid: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(min, 1fr)) or repeat(auto-fit, minmax()) for fluid columns
Breakpoints: e.g., 1 col <768px; 2 cols 768–1024px; 3–4 cols >1024px
Consistency: Same padding, aspect ratios across items; see card for card structure

Best Practices

Principle	Practice
Equal hierarchy	Items compete equally; no single dominant item
Consistent sizing	Same card/item dimensions in grid
Gap consistency	Uniform gap (e.g., 16px, 24px)
No layout shift	Reserve space for images; avoid CLS

Responsive

Mobile: Single column; full-width items
Tablet: 2 columns; touch targets ≥44×44px
Desktop: 3–4 columns; hover states OK

Infinite Scroll

If using infinite scroll with grid: crawlers cannot access content loaded on scroll. Provide paginated component pages for SEO-critical content. See site-crawlability for search-friendly implementation.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Grid AI skill do?

Why use Grid on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Grid is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Grid in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/kostja94/marketing-skills/tree/main/skills/components/layout/grid. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Grid?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Grid?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Grid with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Grid AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by kostja94 under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
